Been gone for a while because of computer problems. My CPU fan went out, and I can't get the replacement to work properly. >< I've been waiting for a friend to come help, but he still hasn't called to let me know when he can come, so I have no idea when I'll be back. I just wanted to let ya'll know why I've not been around and apologize. I'm one of the ones wanting Sunday Promys, and I can't make it. But I will be back hopefully soon, so I'll don't write me off yet! ^_^

Posted this at Musketeers, but I don't know who'll see it there so I'm posting it here too. ><
As you know, my CPU fan went out. The only heat sink I could find to replace it with (because I couldn't find a fan to put on the old heat sink) I had trouble putting on. I finally had some help getting on, and then came up with another problem. It was hardlocking repeatidly. If I left it on the BIOS screen for a while, I could get about 20 minutes or so out of it, but that was it. I was actually in the process of doing so several days later to check on my chocobo when my power supply blew out. That was last week. Got the power supply exchanged yesterday (don't buy RaidMAX) and it works now. Well, the power does. Now, it seems to be stuck on the first screen. You know, the one where it counts your memory. I can't get past that. I can't even get to the BIOS screen. *sighs* My friend says he thinks it could be the processor, but he can't tell over the phone. I'm just really, really frustrated with this. I want my computer back. I'd switch my hardware over to my old processor and motherboard, except I don't think it would handle my video card and I don't have one to replace it with. *sighs* I've got my hard drive up here at work with me (thank God for enclosures), so I can at least finish my commission art I need to do, but I just want my computer back. If it is the processor, it'll probally be at least another month before I can get back because it'll have to come after my truck is fixed and I get new glasses. I don't really NEED the glasses, except when my allergies get so bad I have trouble with my contacts, so I may wait on that, but it may still be about a month either way. ><
I'm seriously considering installing FFXI up here at work, but I don't know if this computer will handle it. I'll probally try it anyways, just because I miss playing. And I don't want my chocobo to die. ><

Update: working!! *happy dance*
Had to replace the HD and borrow a motherboard and cpu from a friend, but I'm back on! Still need to save up for a new motherboard/cpu, but at least I'm able to get on right now.
