I just looked in a baby book, found a name I liked, created a character, and then somehow became associated by my character's name. Hehehe, it's kinda cool though. It's like I've got two first names, 'cause I answer to both of them. Weird, huh? AND YAY! DA IS COMING BACK!!! Probably when I start to disappear because of my dissertation work, but that's okay. He'll be back! |

My computer is running exceedingly poorly. ANY game I try to play suffers MASSIVE texture problems after about ten minutes, during which EVERY TEXTURE is replaced by ANY OTHER TEXTURE, AT RANDOM. Again, this happens in ANY game, and EVERY game. Garry's Mod, WoW, EVE Online, Supreme Commander, it doesn't matter. It'll bug up and self destruct. The system itself has randomly become hyper-unstable, and pretty much any program will crash WITHOUT REASON, and WITHOUT WARNING. I have no clue what the hell is going on, so I cannot even attempt to fix this problem. And it started doing this in February. I still haven't been able to figure out what the hell its doing. If you have ANY idea whats going on please help. |

This is more of a half woot half rant but i'll start with the woot first. The good news: THE GODDAMNED EXAMS ARE AT LONG LAST OVER. So, no more endless revising, no more trying to directly memorise quotes, facts, images and massive chunks of text word by word, pixel by pixel and more time for me to be back here. The bad news is that someone forgot to tell me about a specific five week course in one of my subjects which makes up for 50% of the overall grade next year. That's a full quater of the markings for the entire subject in both years and i've only found out by fluke after the course is two or three weeks in. Still, I'm not going to be on here often, but at least i'll be on here again! |

Qualanx, it's one of two things. 1. Your video card is dead. What you're describing is effectively known as 'artifacting', which is what a video card does in its death throes. You may need a new one from the sound of it. Your computer will not run properly without a new video card, unless your motherboard has on-board video, but that won't support any games, just basic usage. Or 2. Your power supply is dying and incapable of sending enough power to your computer when you stress the processor and video card. If I were you, I'd first replace the power supply. Considering this problem has been happening since February, it's probably your power supply. If a video card shows signs of dying, it's generally fully dead within 48 hours. It's also the cheaper option, and a good power supply will run you $100 on www.newegg.com. If that doesn't work, you'll need to spend ~$160 for a high end video card to play the games you're describing. |

Aiko, from what it sounds like it's definitely the power supply, considering how long this has been happening for. And the fact that my GPU hasn't roasted, exploded, fizzled or died in any other way. Edit: Does this also affect how bloody unstable all my games are (crashing within SECONDS of actually entering servers, or even crashing before they're done loading)?

*sigh* I just can't win lately. I've been surrounded by frustrated negativity from coworkers for over a month, and no matter what I do I can't seem to resolve the issues quickly enough for people to be satisfied. Either that, or people call me with their own set of problems, needing to unload, and I don't have the heart (or the desire, really, friends are friends) to tell them that my life has pretty much sucked lately. I just need some good news. Happy news. Unexpected good happy news. I want to be cheerful again. ;_; |

God I'm depressed. Every channel on on TV has something extremely depressing on. "Swine Flu!" "Eleven commit suicide over Michael Jackson" "Man gets eaten alive by crocodiles" "Police dogs die in car because of heat wave" Good god. Put something positive on the air. |
