I have an HP a6120n desktop that I got a few years ago with Windows Vista 32 bit and 2 Gb ram. It’s still a decent machine. I since upgraded to Windows 7 Pro, and then MS was nice enough to upgrade to Windows 10 without even asking me (I actually said NO many times).
I put in two more gigs ram and another 500 gig hd.
I lost Ethernet access on it the other day. After checking the modem, I took it to a local repair shop who showed good reviews on yelp.
He said the video card is dead, and put in a GeForce 210..and marked it up 200%. I wasn’t sure what the video had to do with it, but he said it’s an integrated chipset. The Ethernet started working again, but I had no sound. I took it back, and he couldn’t figure it out. So he said he’d reinstall Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
The way he ran it all down to me seemed kinda weird, but I thought I’d go with it since I had few options.
Does any of this sound right to you?
