cmenden :) i'm happy to have you here to break my heart again.

Stayed up until 3AM using my PC with very little problems. Go to bed.
 
Wake up 5 hours later.
 
It's powered off. That's strange. Power it on. It loads into Windows. I log into my admin account. It powers off instantly. I try to restart it. It powers off on the POST screen. I try to open the BIOS, it powers off.
 
Not sure what's wrong, but given that I work as a caretaker for the elderly members of my family I genuinely lack the income to see my PC fixed. Not sure how long I'm going to be absent- I'm typing this from the shitty internet explorer X360 app- but it's probably going to be a while unless one of my friends takes pity on me, or has an extra PSU or something lying around. I'm not holding my breath on either of those.
 
I hope to see all you lovely folks soon.

Graphic card, memory failure or HD issues. One of those is what I would expect. PSU power, it likely wouldn't even run if it was that, at all. Or it might boot up. Motherboard wouldn't run if it was broken, at all quite likely. CPU same. Open the case, and carefully clean it from dust. That is one option.

When you do this, make sure to have touched metallic object before touching the machine or components, do not wipe it with any cloth or some sort unless it's anti-static, and possibly carefully vacuum it even if that's bit risky. Try to keep a hold on the metallic case / something else metallic when you do fiddle inside the case, then try again.

Gone for the next week, M-Fri. No forum access, or irc, til my return.

Don't want to talk too soon, but it seems like I got it fixed. Shoutouts to my real life friend having a 650w PSU and some arctic silver just lying around gathering dust!

Moving has been keeping me both busy and without internet. I'll return soon, probably in a day or two, with more deep Netherese purple swag.

Vlaid

Not much of a change from currently, just tossing an official heads up, I'll be sparse for a while. Haven't been able to get into much lately IG.

Stay classy.

Hey.

I'll be away for two weeks.

Short n' sweet, eh? ;)

Nocte

Back from hiatus.

superbatude

Real life has got a hold of me, I have to leave for a bit. I hope to be back soon.

SheelasChosenHin

Back! While my laptop is still broken, I'm 'round and in game.

Mira

Been afk for a bit and will continue to be afk for the next couple weeks while I travel.

Lira

Like most Americans my schedule is going to be busy around the 4th of July. I may be around part of Thursday and Friday afternoons Pacific time, and I can definitely log in upon request, but the evenings are occupied. Saturday is completely taken up. I'll be around again full-time on Sunday, Pacific morning / afternoon.

Cat

Currently sick, will be around more once I'm not taking medicines that make me sleep all day long.
