 It's been 4 hours since my computer made a click and shut down....

It still won't turn on. πŸ₯Ί

Trouble shooting tips? 

New computer recommendations?

 brutal.  I feel like my laptop is close behind 

I found an HP with an intel ultra 7 at Walmart for $499 that I’m eyeballing 

I’d just don’t want to spend the $ 
 I don't want to spend the cash either.... My dead desktop is circa 2014 tho πŸ˜‚ 

I'm gonna ask my neighbor if she can troubleshoot it....

 I've had good experiences with Dell. HP is a brand I will NEVER buy again. Friends with Lenovos seem to be happy with them. 
 My dell aoi desktop has served me well for 10 years.... but I have had some dell laptop lemons in the past. 

Not sure if I'll get a desktop or laptop...

 Check clock battery on motherboard 
 I can't open it up. My neighbor came by to help and she said we'd need a lot of force to open it.....one corner of the base is separated where it should be attached...And she thinks it will break the base if we force it open.....

 Got my mom this to replace her laptop and she loves it.  The processor is great performance for the price. https://image.nostr.build/88581d5f059dce5cf5cb6442834fbafd35eae49ff06c86d8afbf16a7a05a0e2e.jpg
