Can anyone help me with a computer issue, please?
Last year in October, my desktop shutdown w/o reason. Looked at the plugs and the power plug was hanging out so I stupidly just shoved it back in. System instantly booted up by itself and shit began to hit the fan. It kept shutting down and would then start up with 2 or 3 beeps. It was either beeping for a ram issue or a motherboard issue, but occasionally it'd just boot normal.
Took it to a repair shop early December, they dusted it and said they found nothing wrong. Went back home and it started again a week later.
Took it to another repair shop and they just said "we'll have a look, upgrade to win10 oh and that other place put the fan in the wrong way".

Now the shutdowns did stop until start of January when it happened once or twice. Same as in February. Now the other night, it went crazy again and it got to the point where I couldn't and still can't really use it. Managed to boot it through once and I checked the error logs, the computer had 3000 errors since Oct 29th (the night it happened), with the 'critical error' Kernel Power 41 (I'm sure that's what it was) had happened 30 times and all the dates correlated with the times it shut down.

Anyone have any idea wtf it could be? It's probably 4 or 5 years old but still a good Alienware PC. Can't afford to buy a new PC of any kind but could probably buy a new part or so if it's motherboard or power unit.

In return, I'll try to give advice on any life issue you may have.

I got pregnant by a guy I knew through mutual friends after dating exclusively for 2-3 months by accident. I was on the pill and I think I must have not taken it at the right time so it decreased effectiveness and so it happened. The guy is not just a fling and we are still dating exclusively after me having an abortion. He actually had wanted to keep it.
Because I had met him in my hometown while I was visiting, actually I had already moved to another city. So we were dating by him flying over regularly to see me. So when I found out I was pregnant he had returned to the hometown and was in the process of moving to my city because his boss wanted him to coincidentally transfer there.
So I was alone for a few weeks of my pregnancy. I only had my best friend in this city and didn't know anyone else cuz I myself was new to the city. So I didn't have anyone to accompany me to the abortion and I was feeling scared sick and lonely.
She told me she can come if needed and when I asked her she said she couldn't because of work, I got a little disappointed and hurt, she said that I can only blame myself because I chose to act slutty.
I feel really weird about the whole thing and I think our friendship won't exist any more. I don't know what to do.

When I drink coffee I feel extremely "emotional". I sit there and have flash backs and I get tears rolling down my eyes. Sometimes this shit happens in the middle of a classroom, in the middle of an experiment or just walking back home.

Problem is that it only happens when i drink coffee. So I have a cycle where I feel nothing all day long. Then I have to drink coffee to feel my emotions. But when I drink coffee I feel sad and shitty.

Sorry I dont mean to sound like a hipster or an edgelord. In my day to day no one has any idea I have any of these issues, I hide them well. But I was wondering if it's normal for me to do this shit. On one hand I want to feel, on other hand I hate feeling sad.

I feel like the more I do this the more I am starting to embrace myself and finally open myself up for discovery, I repressed alot of pain and suffering that was done to me. But on other hand it's me spending time being sad, instead of being happy.

So? I don't even know what I am asking. Just give my validation for this behavior, make it sound reasonable to me. I thank you in advance.

So I migrated from an EU country to England five years ago this coming November.

I've been to college for three years, and worked for most of the part, but not enough to really save any money.

The plan was to get a student funding loan to finance uni while working part time, then get a British nationality and go for a bursary or other form of help to actually be able to focus on my studies.

Turns out this can't be done as I'd be starting my degree as a working immigrant, and therefore my condition wouldn't change even if I became "British".

I could wait for another couple of years and lose my current place with my uni of choice, quit on organized education and do what I can in my own time, or go through three or more years of unrealistic schedules and debt.

Has anyone been in a similar situation before? What happens when I cancel an already accepted place in uni? Any ideas on alternative options? There isn't anything for me at home; neither jobs, or education, or financial help from my family.

>asks if I want to go on a small hike together since shes working evening and she thought I had this week off

16 years ago, my sister had a daughter, and due to her age, the courts ruled her unfit to properly raise a kid, and the father took custody. I saw her daughter every once in awhile but it was always limited to special family events. And then I went away to college and got a career. Since then I haven't seen her. I haven't been a part of her life that much.

I used to be a lead animator at a few small gaming companies back when every fuck with a Kickstarter thought they could Phil Fish their way to millions. But since then I moved to help my sister out and get her back on her feet. Its been a few years but shes got a great job and is married now. Shes getting custody of her kid back. But her daughter is now 16 years old.

My sister has asked me to help out with her and babysit. I dont really know what to do or say? Like Im not really sure how to babysit a near adult? And I dont even know what shes like now. Im worried shes as shitty and stupid as her father. Im also worried what she will think of me now that Im just a random art hasbeen living in a small place filled with a bunch of pokemon dolls. Im kinda worried Ill be a disapointment since she used to look up to me. Im also not sure what to even do to keep her entertained. Im just so use to sitting at a desk drawing for days.

My boyfriend, his sister, and her boyfriend are all part of the same social group. Me and the sister's boyfriend used to be okay friends but kept having personality clashes so we kept distance and haven't talked besides hello since Dec.

Both relationships are over 1 year and everyone knows so there's no accidents or forgetting here. Sister's boyfriend has a dinner and go out dancing get-together and invites my bf and excludes me. My bf was bothered and said he didn't really want to go because that was weird. I was fine with that.
The night of the event he tells me he's going out swing dancing but no more details. The next day he's telling me stories about the sister's boyfriend's party. I had no idea he went and was upset because I feel the guy obviously has negative feelings towards me.

When my bf asked the guy told my boyfriend he thought I "wouldn't care". I don't believe this, I think he just didn't want me there. Even if he did think that, there has to still be some strong dislike to exclude half of a long term couple.

Does his reason matter? Or is it always malicious to invite half a couple when you know both very well? Am I wrong being upset that my bf accepted the insult to me without telling the guy it was really rude?

So a while back my fiancee worked at this bank and basically had some "emotional breakdown " and thought we're not in love because she had such great banter with her male supervisor and had some huge enough crush on him to think about breaking up. So we almost broke up over that but we stayed together if she would look for other work and not be around this guy. Well slowly she wanted to go to social after work stuff with all her co workers and I'd be the bad guy for not letting her go. So now she has this group of 4 friends and this guy is one.

Now she has another job but still has this group of friends where he's in the mix. She doesn't want to cut him out because she says that might destroy her group of friends of something. So I have to deal.

I've tried to bluff her at this point saying stop being around him or we're and she's says I'm too controlling and fine were done.

So now I have to either break up or deal.

I don't want to see this guy at my wedding or every few weeks because these are her only friends.

How the fuck do I even start this?

I live in cali, and I am lost on this. My school is expensive as shit and I basically need $72k in loans. How do I start the process?

My credit is pretty shit, and I've made some financial mistakes in life. I'm 21 now, so I hope I can get approved.

I'm in a stem major and am looking into a big job field after so paying them off should not be a problem.
