the only time my comp gets sluggish and won't run right is if it gets too hot in my house. i keep it fucking COLD in here so my computer is always in top shape.
But this brings me to a quick story. My girlfriend was up a couple weeks ago to stay with me for a week while she was in-between jobs and had the kids with their dad. i left to go to work one day and i had my little space heater in here because she gets cold very easily and it was pretty chilly outside. anywho when i got home from work she had crashed on the couch and left the heater on, i swear it was 85 fuckin degrees in my house. i walked in the door and my computer was steadily restarting over and over.
At the time i had the computer overclocked. 3200+ running at 2.2ghz, and my video card was on the brink of destroying itself. 6800xt runs at 325/650 normally, i had mine running at 411/875. Ever since when i try to watch a video on my computer, the edge has this weird line thing on the left side, and it will randomly lock up for 5 seconds, then the video wil play really fast to catch up to the sound.
So now i've gotta see what part i fucked up and replace it... YAY!
and no my girlfriend is not a n00b, she knows more about computers than I do, and i'm not too shabby with em. she was just really tired from the long drive and crashed and forgot about the heater.
Attaaaaaaack of the Killertomato!
