Not yet ready to write it off just yet,but...

For the past week,whenever I shut down the comp before work or bedtime,I unplug the cord from the back of the laptop to allow the battery to deplete in a timely manner(either upon leaving for work or a few hours before bedtime),even though it goes into hibernation  mode rather than a pure shutdown.When I know it's completely off,then I plug the cord back in.On top of the recent crashes,whenever I do a normal shutdown,it almost always wants to install updates everytime,but I suspect they aren't installing right.On top of Malware Bytes not detecting anything,I suspect even McAfee isn't always working properly anymore...
Happy birthday to Tomoe Hanba(who turns 41),Akiko Kobayashi(who turns 34),and Kana Ueda(who turns 33)...
