Out for a while

[Atilise]

Computer failed last night, it was on the way out for a while, dual logging at hecks was the straw that broke the camel's back

It's getting repaired right now but like I said it was on the way out so theres a lot of things to be fixed so I have no idea when it will be working again.

Sorry Atill, hope you can be back soon. We'll be there for you and we"'ll miss you in the meantime.

If a lot has to be repaired, isn't it worth to buy a new one? Repairing comps is usually quite expensive. Maybe if you can pay for a new one in three or four times?

Yeah that's very true Chris! I have the funds for a new machine, but I'm letting my dad have a look at it first as he's the one that originally put it together. In any case it will definitely need a new DVD drive, Power supply, chip-fan, graphics card and more memory (last month I hit a point where I couldn't create a new Photoshop document because I had no memory left for the temp file it creates haha!)

I'll keep you guys posted, just means I'll be watching the action via Demoder's Tower tracker in the meantime

if you had a system shutdown, it was probably due to overheating?

When I quad log for too long my machine overheats as well.

But I took apart my laptop and sucked the dust out of it... I need to increase the fan speed, but it's working.

Once the termperature shutdown thing enables you should be able to start it up about half an hour later... and 99% of the time it won't need fixing.
