We're dropping like flies

Seems like a lot of us are getting the thrill and joy of experiencing computer problems.

Apparently I am no exception.

Every time I've fired up NWN2 today, the computer crashes at some point. Without warning everything just suddenly restarts, like as if I hit the power button. I tried a few other games and the problem happens there too.

I suspect my power supply. >.>

So, unless this problem sorts itself, or one of my brilliant IT guys helps me with a quick fix, it doesn't look like I'll be rejoining the fun with you guys anytime soon.

This ~especially~ sucks because I was in the center of so many plot points, and I was ~just~ beginning training on the fine art of NWN2 world-building under our wise and learned Mr. O.


I apologize to those that have committed themselves to involving me in their RPs and hope that this problem is extremely temporary.

It's kind of a downer, but that's apparently how it has to be.

My MSN is "TheLionessRoars@hotmail.com" if some of you would like to stay in contact.

if it happens in games check fan on video card.

try putting a home fan near the compter to blow air into it as well.

Dust out everything

then see about power supply and or video card.

Yeah, I got a pretty computer savvy group of friends and family. We cleaned it out, and checked all the hardware.

It sounds like its the powersupply.


The good news is that all I need to do is have it replaced. The bad news is that it will have to wait until I can afford it. I get my tuition reimbursement three weeks after my college classes start (which is next week, the 11th).

Not a devastating hit, but we are looking at about a month of downtime.

"Dear Mister Power Supply,

I do not appreciate the manner in which you have removed Josie and therefor Neli from computer gaming. Your lazy attitude in all this has been nothing but a downer!!Exclamationmark!!

:beatdeadhorse: If you were a horse I'd beat you to death with your own severed leg... Or at least bake everyone muffins and give you none.

Maybe you're just too sad to work properly. Well buck up because this is the real world! If you want fiction you're going to have to work properly to come play in mine! Also you smell like dead carrots.

Signed,
Gwynnithe Ystaria

P.S. Those muffins smell gooooood."

Wow. So many comps trying to declare their independence these days. I just recently had to replace my power supply too.
Hope it fixes things for you when you manage to get a new one. Sucks that it'll take so long though. D:

FOOLS!

It's because you didn't order your computer custom made from The Artificer!! Don't' settle for those wannabe crafters! get everything you need made at a reasonable price. The artificer is the LEADER in making and selling quality equipment - chivs, shells, and yes- computers and portable electronics as well. next time think twice before you order your computer from these... "Dell" and/or "Apple" quacks.

I shall point and laugh at you whilst you struggle. jk jk <3
