Estaba navegando por la red y, de repente, se bloque\u00f3 y no se reinicia. Est\u00e1 cargando todo el tiempo.<br \/>\nDave: No te preocupes. Estoy seguro de que podemos encontrar el problema y volver a la normalidad.<br \/>\nSara: Estoy harta de este port\u00e1til. Pierdo mucho tiempo con \u00e9l. Siempre est\u00e1 fallando.<br \/>\nDave: Es bastante antiguo. \u00bfLo tienes siempre actualizado? \u00bfTienes todos tus archivos importantes guardados en otro sitio?<br \/>\nSara: Mmmmhhh, la verdad es que no.<br \/>\nDave: Bien, d\u00e9jame echar un vistazo&#8230; \u00bfHiciste clic en alg\u00fan enlace justo antes de que se bloqueara?<br \/>\nSara: No lo creo.
