And it hit my baby. My precious PC. I was minding my own business and suddenly the PC froze. It had done that a couple of times in the last days, but it had none of that "hoooo~shit" feeling to it. Just.. you know.. a PC freezing. No big deal. Well, this time, it froze completly, turned itself off and left me all: riiiight.. and now what? I booted it again and it took a long time to boot and I really didn't need to see my screen to know that my PC was damaged. The screen didn't load fully anyway, all I'm seeing is a grey bar at the bottom of the screen and a zip-file on my desktop. I can't click anything and a friend, who came to my aid, thinks the motherboard got fried. If you can't trust ASUS to make good quality motherboards who can you trust? Gah!
I ordered a replacement and will try to fix the PC later today, though I'm rather anxious to do so. There is no guarantee that the problem was caused by the motherboard and not the power-supply unit, too. To make sure that a defunct power-supply doesn't damage the new ASUS-board I'd have to buy a new power-supply as well. Another 30-50 or so Euros because I like my PC to be silent. That's just it - I don't want to spent money on a busted system, if I could be forced to buy a brandnew one! So, here's to hoping the motherboard works. Last time it was the power-supply AND the motherboard, sigh - but that time my PC also burned. Smokes and flames, lol.
In the meanwhile no new art, sorry.

It's not about how much you enjoy the sunshine together. It's about wether you want to be there for one another when things suck.
Später durfte ich dann erfahren das das ganze Problem mit einer besseren CPU gegessen gewesen wäre... anders als Pakungsaufschrift war meine Graifkarte für 400 Watt(?) ausgelegt, ich hatte nur 300. Anscheinend hat sie durch den überhohen Stromverbrauch beim Lüfter Leistung abgestrichenm der lief nicht mehr wie er sollte, die Karte wurde nur über den passiven Lüfter "gekühlt" und aus wars.
Ich hab zwar vorher schon gemerkt das es zu heiß wurde im Case.. Case aufgeschraubt, Ventilator davor gestellt, hat auf Dauer aber nichts gebracht.
250 Euro für 6 Monate Spaß ausgegeben, was hab ich mich gefreut.

Had to replace the board and the CPU/RAM cause of incompatibilities. Shelf-life expired, said my regular tech guy. Maybe it's the same with yours?

If I told you there was something I wanted to tell you but I shouldn't tell you because I've already told you about wanting to tell you therefore telling you what I wanted to tell you, have I told you anything at all?
Ich lese gerade, dass deine Daten sicher sind. Das ist ja erstmal das wichtigste. Viel Erfolg bei der PC-Rettung.
