After more than 6 months, my computer is working again... and I didn't have to spend any money. I still don't know what was wrong, but apparently it was not the motherboard. But as a consequence of all those months of inactivity, the CMOS battery got discharged, so I'll have to replace it, which will cost me less than 300 won. -_-!
During this time I've been learning about hardware, I'm not an expert (yet), but I know a lot more than a few months ago. Now I know the guy at the repairing shop was lying me, he just wanted me to spend a lot of money, even though it was totally unnecessary. But those days are over, since I know enough as to repair my computer myself...
By the way, these days I discovered a totally new web browser: Firefox. I've been using it, and it's great!! It has a lot of options more than the old and monotonous Internet Explorer. I really love it! One dissadvantage, however, is that I cannot make the <embed> code to work, since Firefox doesn't support ActiveX (God bless Firefox!!!).. Well, I guess it's just a minor disadvantage, besides, I'll think about a way to make another code for Firefox users.
