Take this opportunity to make a complete backup of your system. Get an external drive that has more free space than your system drive, plug it in, and do a full backup using Windows Backup and Restore.

Everything I have is on dropbox or OneDrive.

If I shell one out I’ll just have to reinstall:
Quickbooks
Word and Excel from office 360
Maybe my scanner drivers.
Link Dropbox and One Drove.

It ran on that screen for 4 hours. I forced it to shut down and upon restart appears to be working properly.

Maybe I just delayed the fucking?

Who knows.

Thanks for the help guys.

You just wanted to see me get mad and blow holes in it with $1 rounds, didn't you?
[Reply]

Yes? :-)

Feel like?

Heh. I actually did that once - not dollar rounds, but 30.06 from an M1 Garand.

My wife had a laptop that died a month after the warranty expired. Took it out to the range. The first shot got the battery, which started burning. After that, each shot blew it into more and more flaming chunks.

It was very cathartic. :-)

Holy shit you guys are brutal. :-)

I did it with 223 once. Same deal, less the fire. I think my battery was all dead, not just mostly dead.
