In 17 years of computing, I only had to swap out an IO board for fifteen
bucks. Never got a virus either.

Dude, you should come out of the past and move into the present.

I forgive you all.
As that is the true nature of the Lord.

And no, I wasn't "stomped"
I find it fascinating how lowers always declare victory. Saddam Hussein
declared victory as US tanks rolled through Baghdad.

Bless you, my son.

My son, I ask upon you - are PCs expected to die immediately after the
warranty?

Did you by any chance pay for the computer with a VISA gold or better?
(American Express and MC have something similar I believe.) If you did,
skip the HP techs and call VISA. They will extend the warranty for one year
beyond the original warranty. In 2002 I had a HP desktop die on me six
months past the HP warranty. I keep all my receipts so I was able to dig it
out and confirm that I had used the VISA card for it and thought "what the
heck" and called the number on my VISA info. They instructed me to take
the machine to a repair shop and they would reimburse me for the cost. I
did so, the shop said it was the motherboard. They replaced the MB for
$380. I sent the bill to VISA and they sent me a check. Nice. The machine
still works. One of my kids is using it to play Netflix on their
television. Anyway, maybe you can get it repaired or replaced. Give it a
try.
