It’s been quite a while since I last wrote here. Since last time, I’ve just been playing a lot of the new games that have been coming out and of course my computer broke down again. To be more specific it was my graphic card that died while I was playing GTA IV. Suddenly after alt-tabbing out of the game, these blue stripes appeared across the screen. So I quickly turned off the computer, pulled out the graphic card, created a warranty case with the store I bought it at and then shipped it off.
So a few days later the guy from the store calls me and tells me that, because it only had like 1 month and 3 weeks left on the warranty, they then decided to let the manufacturers take care of it. I knew I was in for a long wait, so after 2 weeks of moping over not having a computer, I caved in and bought a Nintendo DS light (something I’ve been thinking about doing for some time) Oh and a week later, the graphic card arrived …. So I am now the proud owner of a DS light and Pokemon Diamond
Something similar happened to me once. My MOBO fried my 8600 GT while I was playing Oblivion. Or maybe the GPU fried the PCI slot. I don't know. Never got it fixed though, 'cause my warranty was up. 90 day warranty really isn't enough. :-/
