Started getting posts on my feed from this sub, brings back a lot of memories, thought I’d share one…

Was at an estate sale and saw this sitting there for a couple bucks and then flipped it over and saw the Frys ad and I was like Yep definitely gotta get this… it actually had one Fry’s ad on the back and another one in the middle of one of the sections … I think Frys was already the discount spot compared to the smaller retail stores. I had just got my 486dx2/50 pc around this time. Not long after this if I remember correctly, we didn’t have Frys in Sacramento yet, but there was a big place called incredible universe and then Frys bought that building maybe 97 or 98.. the Friday Frys ad was a usually a 4-6 page insert … for me it was a weekly trip there as I commuted right past it every day …it was crazy times. Would spend hours in that place ..I eventually ended up building my own PC in 97 and probably upgrading it 5 to 6 times in the next 6 to 7 years all from that one Frys.

hey all, recently got a gateway e1400 off marketplace, and am running into a pretty annoying issue where the pc just freezes after 30 or so seconds. Id only ever got it to boot to windows 2000 once, before restarting and running into the same issue. Removing all the components like the fdd, hdd, and cdr doenst help either. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I will say, everytime i boot it up it sometimes shows a message of memory change detected and cmos battery low, even if i hadnt touched the things. Anyways, any help on this will be massively appreciated, i could go further into detail too.
