Congrats on making it back. But you made me sad. The system that died is at least 1 generation more recent than my current system. 64 bit CPUs were cutting edge when I got this and my AGP card is long past being supported by ATI. Worst part is, if this thing dies, it will be much longer than a month to get back. |

Ugh, the same happened to me back in July. I suppose it was my fault.....I was overtaxing the motherboard by using a video card that was apparently too much for my PSU to handle. |

Since then, I've taken a bit of a break, played through and thoroughly enjoyed Okami on my Wii, and finally gotten round to completing Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii, too (a mere 3 years more or less after the date on my last Zelda save game). I've also had a week and a half of hassle and annoyance trying to get my new system sorted. But I'll not dwell on that. I'm currently installing patches/drivers/applications on my shiny, oh so shiny new PC. So while windows is updating, I thought I'd say hello again (not that many people will necessarily have noticed that I was gone). New system : Dell U2410 monitor (it's bloody *huge* compared to the old 17" Sony Trinitron I had). Antec 602 case. Corsair 650W PSU. i7 920 D0 stepping overclocked to 3.40Ghz. 6Gb Corsair RAM. GeForce GTX 285 1Gb. 1 x 500Gb HDD (will be getting more drives eventually). LG SATA DVD burner. Transplanted my old Creative X-FI sound card, G15 Keyboard, and G9 Laser mouse. Vista 64 bit.... Urk. There had to be a drawback. Got a Win 7 Upgrade voucher though, so I'll likely be trying that eventually. And a sodding great hole in my bank balance.... So far it seems rather nippy. I've yet to see if that state of affairs will last once assorted bits and bobs get installed. |
Got a new ASUS about two weeks later though, as well as another more powerful PSU. Since I was already spending quite a bit already, I decided to just get a new card as well.
Everything has been good since then.

Ta, I *think* I'm more or less back up and running, apart from the data on the HDD's of my old machine of course. one of them I'll get back eventually, but the main drive on ye olde Athlon64 was a RAID-0, and so I'm just treating it as dead.|

Which is a shame, as all my screenshots, demorecords and so forth were on it, along with other things like Fallout3 saves and such. Nothing major, as I've got a NAS box I keep most of my important stuff on. Of course this is the NAS box which had one of its HDD's die about 2-3 months ago, good job it's a RAID-1
Never mind, onward ever onward.
Now to see if I can get Herostats to work. I *think* I've got TS working properly.
I'd forgotten jsut how much of a grind setting up a new install on a PC can be with all the drivers, apps, tweaks and so forth.
:edit: as a side note, the complete new system option seems to have persuaded Firefox to actually remember who the hell I am on these boards. I may be able to bring myself to use them a bit more if I can stay logged in and not have to login 7 times in a row before it sticks... 1700 quid of course is a little on the 'nuclear option' side of things however, just to get the board login working properly... o_O
