The problem started occurring more and more frequently since then. Within a day, my computer malfunctioned unexpectedly for the first time, presenting as a black screen, cooling fans engaged and the last second of sound continuously looping.” During the Spring semester of this year, I first plugged my computer into an external monitor, using my TV as a larger screen.
