My Computer Has Gone Mad
That could have been funny if I do not have a need for it. The madness started three weeks ago. Like all madness, it started in small stages before escalating to this full-blown walk-through-the-street-in-the-nude madness.

I ignored the signs of the madness, should have *treated* it but like all busy people, I did not have time for that. The symptoms of its insanity started in stages. First, the Bluetooth icon disappeared from its tray. Well, I have four USB ports, who needs Bluetooth. That may be true, I should have done something and not be like Papa Andrew, my neighbor.

Papa Andrew is a nice man, so is the wife, Mama Andrew. The only problem I have with them is the wife loves watching TV, maybe a little too much. Now you may be wondering if I am about to go mad just like my computer. What is the relationship between Mama Andrew's love for Nollywood movies and me having a problem with that? Hold your horses, do not be that quick to jump to conclusion.

The husband, who is a lawyer, by the way, owns four small generators popularly known as *I pass my neighbor* generator. That loosely translates to *I am better than my neighbor*, a name which it got when the owner happens to be the only person enjoying electricity in the midst of blackout which sometimes is an everyday affair here.

This electric generator is conveniently or inconveniently (depending on whose side you are viewing it from) placed under my window, downstairs.  I always seem to be the sole person enjoying the exhaust fumes while Mama Andrew is laughing her fat behind off to some Nollywood movies. The noise is the reason I do not want to be like Papa Andrew. He never brings in professionals to service his generator. 

Every weekend you would see him, wearing a long sleeve shirt and short working on the four generators at the same time. There is no way you would believe he is a lawyer, you would think he is a sort of *I-pass-my-neighbour* generator mechanic.

The sound that those little *devils* (sue me, I nicknamed the generators that) makes when he finishes *servicing* them still surprises me that I have not gone deaf.

I hated every second when the public utility is off and I am home. That means I would have to endure further gassing and the deafening sound of their little devils that work in shifts!

So after I ignored the failed Bluetooth, the PC started shutting down in the middle of use with no warning. Imagine how frustrating that could be. You had written a wonderful response which you had congratulated yourself on your Shakesperian grammar and language use, you move your cursor to click post and the system shuts down! No warning. No nothing. Words typed not saved. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Then the last straw was yesterday, I started it and it booted ok and behaved ok, you know even the violent insane have their lucid moments. I was happy, no accidental shut down, everything just ok. I logged into steemit and typed up a post. Beautiful. I typed up a post, this time I was typing in Microsoft Word and saving it. I am still afraid it would go off. It did not go off. I logged into steemit and click the post icon. It opened easily, I pasted my article and clicked send. 

>There is no Internet connection
Try:
Checking the network cables, modem, and router
Reconnecting to Wi-Fi
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED

That was what I got, sure enough, I glanced down on the icon for Wi-Fi and notice that it is gone. I restarted and still could not see the Wi-Fi icon. I logged into the Control Panel and navigated to Device Manager. I clicked on Network Adapters and there was no Wi-Fi driver. I downloaded one online and installed. It did not work. 


I refreshed my system and the problem persisted.

I had to do a fresh reinstallation. After I have done that, Windows is now saying the activation keys I inputted is not correct.
