So I'm renting to own a new computer. The tower is huge so I am going to build on it. I can fit plenty of stuff in it like graphic cards, etc. I get the computer tomorrow after work, I already made my first payment.


Thing is, the lady told me if I'm two days late on a payment, she can turn the computer off.

I plan on paying it until it's paid off, but I don't like the idea someone can just turn my shit off when they want too. If they turned it off if I was two weeks late, I could understand, but two days? Seriously, so many things could happen in two days where I wouldn't be able to get the payment. I could be in the hospital, my truck could break down, could be late getting my paycheck. I mean, you just never know.



So..I'm sure it's a device somewhere in the PC that does it.

I wanna know two things.


1. It's not something that runs in the back ground of the pc, is it? I play games, I don't want something running the background I can't shut off...

2. Can I take apart the pc and remove it?

I'm assuming the lady is your landlord which means i'm guessing she is doing one of two things

1) Threatening to turn off your power which would turn off your computer
2) Have your computer connected through a network, most likely a LAN and control it that way

I'm guessing the first option, i mean i'm no computer whiz but the other alternatives would require a significant amount of computer knowledge.

When you get the computer reformat it(make sure there's no programs to shut it off)

Google devices that can be attached to a computer that can shut it off remotely.

Or, the bitch is lying to you to make sure you pay it on time.

Sounds like a rat. Do what Mittens said and reformat it.

There should be hardware, but you might not be able ti find it.
Most likely it is just a small chip like piece in your tower.
If she is stupid it might even say something like "do not remove"

I would open up the tower and see if you find anything unusual right on the surface.

Otherwise, don't take it apart, just do what mittens said. Since shutting down you computer is a software command, that should take care of it.

Thanks guys. I will reformat it when I get it in a few hours. I will also look in the tower to see if something doesn't belong.


I figured it was some sort of remote software so restoring to factory settings was my first idea to begin with before I posted here..

I'm sure the car has to be shut off first before the "kill" takes effect. Like once they park and cut the car off, you wont be able to cut it back on.

Not sure. I'll find out if I ever miss a payment.

If she gets passed my Rottweiler, Pitbull, German Shepard, and American Bulldog with no weapons, she can have the damn thing.


Because at least 3 of them are always inside at once. And they are very aggressive. They're my body guards. Smile
