Wildfire Riders

So after unsuccessfully attempting to install a new video card yesterday, I went back to the old one and promptly got an inactive fan on my motherboard, a strong smell of burning, and a complete lack of monitor input. So, uh, something is dead. My folks are gonna help me out with getting a new one together, but until I do I'm not going to be ingame and my online presence will be generally scarce. Hopefully I'll be back in a couple weeks.

You have like, the worst computer luck of anyone I've ever met. Hope you get a new one sooner than later. =(

Let me know if I can help at all, I've got some spare parts kicking around here that my grandfather might be willing to part with.

Otherwise, I'll likely give you a call sometime soonish, to hang out or something.

Warnings for fans breaking should be a standard windows feature, that and temperature monitors that flash a warning on your screen when it's getting too hot. Naturally able to turn it off for those that like to run hot. But still, remembering to download fan and temperature monitors is kind of a pain, and I don't even use them most of the time because I keep forgetting to turn them back on when I turn them off.

Hope you get your stuff fixed soon!

obviously, you need to upgrade to a series of abacus and slide rule based processors.

Dude,
you burn out components more often than I do. and that's saying something.

Well, I have a working computer. It loads Firefox at about the speed of sound, if that sound is the Bloop, Gchat is blocked by my network administrator (which I will speak to him about as soon as I figure out who the fuck that is), and one of the fans is periodically making a high-pitched squealing noise sort of like Feliche does when he tanks. But at least I can stay in touch with you beautiful people, finish Season 3 of Venture Brothers, and of course, find porn.

The Bloop is C'thulhu sleeping at the bottom of the Ocean... Your computer is clearly a gateway to R'yleh

Gtalk enabled. Did you know that your security certificates tend to be fucked up when your computer thinks it's 2002?
