Yes, I may be gone, due to some major computer failure.
It runs for a few minutes, but reliably crashes after about 5 minutes.
Ta ta for now.
-
Sad face. You will be missed.
-
Darn, I had a computer that did that, turned out to be some kind of virus.
-
Running dozens of virus scans say "no" to that, unfortunately.
My personal thought is that it's a hardware malfunction, of the memory variety.
I recently tried running a 2g memory game...with one, which might have something to do with it.
Running in safe mode (as I am right now to back up some files to my portable drive) works fine, which slightly supports that theory (it will run out of memory much slower).
-
D:
Fix it fast, yo.
-
If it works fine in safe mode, there is no reason the problem cant be fixed.
Just wipe the bitch clean and reinstall your OS if it comes down to it
-
You can't go! What if the whole of charas collapses without you?
-
Just wipe the bitch clean and reinstall your OS if it comes down to it
I'm planning on doing that sometime soon, I'm going to install Ubuntu, cause I likes it much more than Vista.
However, only running in safe mode is a major bummer, cause now I can't run GM or stuff like that due to lack of DX.
I'm getting some upgrades for the bastard soon though, so...yeah.
Might be fixed soon.
EDIT: I just reformatted a tower of mine, and am currently waiting on a wireless card for it so that I can actually use it while accessing the network.
That might take a while, cause I am pretty much dependent on my mother for all purchases.
****, I wish I had a job.
-
Good Luck.
-
Probably don't need it anymore.
Man, I suck at leaving.
-
lol, the allure of charas aye?
-
It's like herpes.
-
Or sephelis.
-
Or rigor mortis. Oh wait... uhmmmm... mononucleosis?
-
I had this once.
It turned out that it wasn't my computer, it was because of the amount of electricity it used upon start-up.
To fix this [80% sure] get a good surge protector.

I don't know if that's it, but at least it's advice.
I once had a broken fan that led to an overheat after a few minutes. It might be that.
I'm not really sure that either of these are the source of your problem
-
Laptop, buds.
And I'm almost positive it's a worm now.
Just one that is really really good at hiding.
Cause the effects are almost identical to a timed forkbomb.
-
Laptops have fans and overheating, too.
But again, I'm just saying this for shits and giggles.
-
Laptops can be MORE prone to overheating since a lot of them have their fans on the bottom. If placed on a soft surface like a pillow or other cloth, there is no places at all for the air to escape and it builds up the temperature quickly. Luckily most laptops will auto-kill their power now before the heat reaches melt-stuff levels, but it can still do damage. I'm convinced I lost my first laptop because of this.
-
My laptop almost never overheats, and I was mainly talking to Mr. Kicks there.
I think it's overheated like twice?
Because it was summer in Illinois?
-
Oooo if it's a laptop and not a worm then you're SOL. I've had a problem in this scenario, too. (wtf everything happens to me D:)
If it is a worm, eat it... You won't do it! No balls!
-
Illinois? Thats in the US, right? And the US is in North America, right? I dont see how anything could overheat over there. Even during summer.
I mean, my dad's laptop never overheated. And summer in brazil is like, ten times warmer than your summer. xD
Oh dear god summers in Illinois are hell.
Humid as all **** (I think the humidity peaked at around %80, but don't trust me on that)
And the summer that I was there was around 110 degrees F, which is ****ing hot for what I'm used to (hottest summers over here get is around 98) (for you that's 43.3 ad infinitum C).
More than enough for a massive overheat.
And summers in the US can be more than enough for an overheat, unless you're in:
1: The Great Northwest (Where I reside, and unless you're in eastern WA, cause I believe that's actually a desert)
2: The Northeast
3: ****ing Alaska

Nah, mine can still overheat in the summer if I am not careful. Up in ye ol' Northeast.

Go to hell.

Can we get this thread locked?
I'm obviously still here, so it's use is up.

Well, welcome back man, and since you requested it, sure.
