Question for Computer People:

I have a laptop and the screen keeps flickering from a light to a dark hue. Whats the deal? It got pretty violent earlier and the blue screen of death appeared. I am afraid my computer is dying.

I think your comp is going to die if you got a BSD, back up as much as you can ASAP.

I've had that problem somewhat from my ThinkPad which is admittedly almost a decade old (and still rocking it). It's having RAM trouble, but the thinkpad has easily accessible RAM (one screw, pop the chip(s) out, pop new ones in). If you have something like that, consider new RAM.

But yeah, if your screen goes and it's not under some sort of warranty or repair deal, you lose.
