"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

it takes me 20-30 times to restart my cpu to get my cpu to work because my monitor wont show anything...its not my monitor thats the problem but its the hardware configuration... it may be my d drive, do i need to disconnect the d drive or is there another way?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

check to see if everything is completely connected properly(completely in, not just partially) and all IDE cables from drives are connected in the right way. the power supply may also be to blame as it may not be giving it enough power. also try disconnecting the d drive and see what happens. if this doesn't work buy a new computer.

It could be your power supply.
if it doesn`t have enough watts, your pc won't start up or will just crash during start up.

try losing all the peripherals.
unplug both hdds.

check if it will boot. if your pc will show a bios startup screen it could be your PSU.
get one with a higher wattage. (I'd reccommend a low noise one)

when did the problem appear (always / after upgrade / ??)
