turns out it was my power supply unit causing the computer to not boot up. (when we were testing the old motherboard, dad hooked it up wrong. plus we tested other stuff like the video card & the power strip.) so now i have to wait for time to buy a new psu at staples or something.

Good news: New PSU came. Bad news: TURNS MY MOTHERBOARD OUT WAS THE ONE THAT GOT FRIED DURING THE POWER SURGES AND THAT SHIT WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND MY DAD'S HAS SURVIVED FOR WAY LONGER

By the way, my power supply unit finally gave out and now my computer won't start up. So I have to wait to get a new one. It was having problems before that though.

I think it was a mix between me having trouble getting dust out the PSU's fan and multiple power outrages/surges over the year. It got to the point where my CPU was under 50%, sometimes 10% usage and it'd still crash in the summer.

i'm gonna change up the look of my pages. after reading https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/, i realized that i kinda wanted to change things up. i know pretty muc everyone, who's a fan of my site, loves the old operating system look and i do too. but when i made this site, i didn't initially realize how many issues it would cause like adding javascript, media queries, the sense that i can't fully call my site mine, etc
