I made a computer out of the spare parts we have at home.

That gives me 2gb RAM, a Pentium E5700 and a GeForce 210.

Also known as what goes into your Mac Pro. <– Ignore that.

It crashes every so often (once every half hour to two hours). Cursor moves, but everything else is frozen.

I have to turn the supply off, and on, then jump the motherboard connector since I don't have a case other than a milkcrate.
Will you buy more parts?

(dank #offtopic hashtag)

Possibly. For now I'll work on my normal computer. The parts work as a good thin client though.

That's actually pretty good specs for a computer if you just want to surf the web and play old games (it might even run GTA San Andreas! Maybe GTA 4!) what OS and how big is the hard drive? I'm gonna guess…windows XP (at least came with system ) and 160GB?

OS? Dualbooted Win7 and Ubuntu 14.04 with my custom Xsession:

Not bad for a Pentium huh?

500gb hard drive here, but really I can only use 200gb cause I hate using NTFS in Linux with a passion and I already ate the other 300gb with stuff.
thats pretty good, my main qwindows PC has a core 2 quad and a radeon 7600 And it can run most games

Whats is so bad about NTFS on Linux? imma linux n00b. i should probably learn more abut it…

File permissions don't transfer to NTFS well, so for example chmod +x doesn't seem to work. Also I hate microsoft with a psssion :p

An RTF is an enhanced text file. It is probably part of Windows, if it came back when you installed Windows 8.1.
But it can't make heads nor tails out of it, because the contents of the file is Russian! And i don't have Crysis either!
It could possibly be a language file.

lol, no.
It's something about making Crysis faster

Is it just me, or did anyone else read all about the mentioned viruses and sorta got nightmares the next day? =O.
It freaked me out. I've actually had a virus before, but if never hurt that much data. It just stopped my computer from turning on, and we had to repair it.

Perhaps it's caused by broken A/V codecs
