My computer is going rather nuts (as some of you may have heard me complain about IG <.<)

For the past five - eight days I've been crashing increasingly much - over the last few days, it's been around every 15th to 30th minute, which is just pushing the envelope for me.

A little under an hour ago, my PC went completely down and I've been struggling ever since to get it back up. I've managed to get it to the point I can power it on, and I'm now working frantically with fixing it... if I can =(

Apologies... I got booted out, and can't get logged back in... I have a feeling it is my internet acting up. To all those I had RP going with, I will catch up with all of you as soon as things get situated.

Sounds like it's overheating. Get a can of compressed dry air and blow out your PC. Particularly the heat sink on your motherboard and the graphics card. Do te power supply as well.

You can also download a program called SpeedFan. And check your temperatures and bump up the speed of your fans. Could be the issue right there.

I just realised I never did a public goodbye post, so here it is. It won't be un-nessessary long.

Thank you everyone for all the laugh, all the tears and everything. For my own sanity I decided to step down entirely, to try to cure my forum addiction.

You guys can contact me on my Randall account if there's something, I won't log back on this one.

If overheating is the issue and using the air can does not fix it, re-apply the thermal compound. I had an overheating issue recently and cleaning the inside wasn't enough. I had to remove the old thermal compound and re-apply, and my computer runs very cool now.
