  Computer Problems
March 7, 2012 6:08:29 PM    View the profile of Crest 
My monitor and computer decided to get angry with each other and are refusing to work with each other. Dunno why.

I'll be tearing a page out of Val's book by using my phone and try to stay on top of ComNet stuff, though I don't have a mobile IRC client.

This maybe anywhere from tonight or a week. (hopefully the former)

Alright, it is deduced to a video card problem.

If this is just a loose video card connections and/or just some debris preventing full function, I'll have it up and running tomorrow. (/me prays this is the case)

If the video card is blown...dunno the length of time. i'd have to find one that fits and order it... (/me prays this is not the case)

I've got an amendment to future Blackjack ASL application requirements:
  • Must have a spare video card or computer

Uh, yeah, it's gone as far as I can tell...

...but that won't stop me from checking everything else a few more times, even if it won't help.

I'll get cracking on a way to be able to post without losing quality.

Using a combo of Google Docs, my school computer, and my phone, I should be able to post. Consider me on semi-leave.

I admire your dedication.  Welcome semi-back!

EDIT: After, reading the subsequent post, I now say, "Welcome back all the way!"

Alright, my computer is in one word: stupid.

Every symptom of a video card problem, and guess what's wrong? A memory card has gone bad. To be fair, it was in the secondary pair and the BIOS diagnostic had failed to pick it up. Odd.

Anyways, removing the second pair cut the physical memory in half, but my computer should be ready to crank out posts.

I'm back from leave.
