Help Tonya do repairs so she can work & live

Hi, my name is Tonya Liburd and I am an emerging writer in Toronto.

I am also a small streamer and gamer, which ties into how I financially survive, and I'll get into that part in a bit.

I am on mental health disability here in Canada, and that barely gives me anything after paying the bills. And internet is necessary for a writing career, for networking, for research, for submitting work to magazines and other markets, to work as part of a collective, like the one I am involved in, called Syllble, which was founded by Fabrice Guerrier; not to mention receiving payment and handling banking affairs.

My computer is black screening and I have taken it to major computer repair outlets, including one I pay monthly for such events - and both have said they found nothing wrong with my computer. However... when my cousin went to pick up my tower at one such place, he made them fully dedust a fan in the tower, which they had only done one side of. That begs the question; did they even touch the rest?

The black screening only happened at the start when I was gaming Dead By Daylight. So I stopped playing it; DBD is known to be kinda buggy; which sucked. Then it started no matter what game I played. Then it started even when casually watching, say, political streamers on Twitch. Then it started happening even if I had the computer off all day, and just started it up and went to watch a stream.

A friend who works with computers is convinced that possibly more than one computer part is dying.

Based on the fact that things, especially Chrome, will reset to the top left of the screen in small windows, when I force a shut down and restart, things heavily lean in to there being a graphics card issue at minimum.

Right now, I am running on a 64 Gig USB stick running Cinnamon Linux Mint.

I can't test out any games I usually use, because Linux, I can't get new subscribers on my Twitch channel, because I can't stream, and make extra funds, because of this issue... but I can be on Firefox, Steam and Discord... for chatting.

Neither Firefox or Chromium are compatible with Twitch.

I don't even have access to a photo right now, to put on my GoFundMe. But everyone knows this graphic that was made for me.

But at least no weird crashing, eh?

No one who works with computers is nearby or in Canada, and I've even desperately tried calculating the cost of travel and carrying the tower to them. The cost rivals buying new computer parts.

I am at my wits end now, and I am looking to you for help in replacing computer parts that are malfunctioning.

Because, God knows, I can't do this any other way. My father was a major source of emergency help, and that was how I got a new computer in the first place.

But he died suddenly 2 days after Christmas in 2021.

So I am looking to you for financial assistance, and peace of mind.

Please help.
