LIVE, damn you, LIIIVE!!

My computer is dying :(

... and it's taking my fucking sanity with it.


So heres the deal, lets start from the very begining:

Power outage during reboot, corrupts Windows.

Two weeks later, finnaly get windows back installed.

Next day? Day after? Either way, very shortly after I reinstalled Windows, it went corrupt. Repaired it twice.

3 or 4 days ago, I finnaly give up and just wipe clean. Fresh XP install and everything.

Next day: Windows corrupts itself.

Day after that, I reinstall Windows, again. Less than 5 hours later, probably not more than 2 or 3 if i remember right, it corrupts itself. Again.

... then magically it works again.


Now lets move on to todays wonderful events!


So there I am, playing Eve, sitting in station like a good little boy. Out of nowhere, a little section's textures glitch. I figure just the game bugging up, whatever. Then a few more weird little glitches appear. Then artifacts spring up everywhere and start fucking dancing across the screen. Then my screen goes blank. Then comes back, goes blank, comes back, goes blank, and comes back one last time. Then I get a popup from the ATI control panel, telling me that VPU Recover reset my card because "it stopped responding." What the fuck?

Then it happens again.

And again.

Then once more, but this time my screen never comes back, and I have to reset my computer.

So I log back in, chat a bit more, then it starts acting up yet again, and I just shut it down before it gets bad.


Starting to wonder what the hell is really causing the problems here. Just about every component is a suspect now. Though for the record, I cleaned up my computer shortly afterwards and there was a good fuckload of dust in my videocard, so we'll see if cleaning it out has made any difference (sure made a difference in temperature. Sitting in station before it reported a temp of roughly 130*F *pretty sure it wasn't centigrade anyways*, and after cleaning it barely topped out at 70-80).

If Windows goes corrupt again, I will cry. I will cry, I will cry, and I will fucking cry some more, and then I'll get a baseball bat and have a jolly good time smashing my computer in to an unrecognizable pulp. ONLY WARNING, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!


*ahem* So... ehm... err... doo dee doo... bah screw it. I'm off. Don't play next to the traffic, play IN it!
