No problem. We’ll keep. Your statement is why I am only on the
internet in a very limited way. I watch YouTube videos from a
very select group of providers. I come here to get the latest of
a story I have been following for years. I do not watch the news!
It is too depressing. If I’m not watching videos I’m reading or
playing solitaire. Hang in, PC.
I feel for you Petercat, there are days when
i consider taking back up heavy drinking as
well. Like now, I was checking my paperwork
on my tower, I bought it 7 1/2 years ago.
Warranty ran out 6yrs ago. 🙁
I’m not sure, I was just about to post a reply on here
and suddenly I had weird pixels everywhere and then
it locked up. I did a forced shutdown, waited about 20
mins, and it wouldn’t go past post. Last time I had
that happen it was the ram that failed. My son thinks
it’s the GPU, which will suck, I loved that 1080. He’s
pulling 12 hour shifts this week, so I’ll wait until he
can help. My hands shake too much these days and
I don’t want to risk more damage.
If memory serves, it’s a 8700k cpu, 1080ti GPU with
12 gig of ram. The nvida gpu is ASI, can’t tell the MoBo
was made by, the video card covers the brand. It’s so
thick it takes up 2 slots!
Cool. I have everything except the processor. Your RAM is DDR4, I have plenty.
I also have a spare 980ti (6GB RAM). If your motherboard has built-in graphics,
(it should), try plugging your monitor into that. You might need to remove your
1080ti first, though.
It could also be your power supply failing, as well. I have several extra.
Let me know when you figure it out, if your computer serves you well,
it’s going to be cheaper to repair it than to replace it. 8700K and a 1080ti
are a great combination.
I still have my old 7700K with two wet 1080tis, it wouldn’t be a problem
for me to set it up to render TGW again if I needed to.
Take care of yourself, PC. If you don’t, nobody else can.
I mostly don’t go to “news” sites. I don’t watch TV; I only have
a FB account to get pictures of the granddaughter. I still see
some stuff, as I’m still working full time, but as much as possible,
I limit the outside world’s influence.
I said I don’t watch TV. We DO have one. 50″ Plasma, hanging on
the wall, a gift from the kids 8ish years ago. It hasn’t even been
plugged in for months. We will, if we wish to, plug it in and watch a
DVD, or a VCR tape, or, more likely, use Hulu to watch something.
I’m getting the laptop setup, it’s weird, I haven’t used one
in a decade. I’ve got to find a spare RGB cable so I can
hook up the monitor. Now I have to hook up my externals
and see what i’m missing from the tower. Maybe i’ll have
to buy one of those data savers to recover my files from
the tower.
aw crap, I don’t know why that was posted as a
reply to you Sam, this keyboard is weird, not to
mention the old mouse pointer stalk in the middle
of the keyboard…
It’s an HP, metal case, it’s an office laptop
that my sister had, I can tell why she quit
using it, at random it suddenly scrolls
down and leaves the window like on here.
What’s worse, she never activated it, so
I can’t even play games on it… grrr…
“Windows does not support Windows 7,
here are web sites to shop for a new
computer”. All Intel/Microsoft brands…
At least I can get on here for some things.
My boy should be off this weekend.
Woops. I hadn’t read this far. Yeah, Win7 had the worst activation scheme.
Search for Windows 7 OEM keys, they can be used to activate without any
pain, OEM keys don’t need to be verified. I’ll dig through my USB drives
and see if I can find my copies.
Here ya go: https://gist.github.com/shiritrong/d85bb1e16c66d1a09896727780b4fc7c
I watch YouTude, Netflix, Prime, and Disney+. all of which I decide what I’m watching and the content. I
have a 55 in on our bedroom wall, mostly so my wife
can watch her game show network and her hallmark
rom-coms and dramadies movies. (eye-roll)
That’s why I don’t watch TV or any news service, I get so enraged
at the hate/cancel culture that if I was a bit unstable, I’d be on the
news myself. I think your vision here, PC, is coming, and becoming
a prepper is making sense.
Get your bike out and take a short road trip, my friend.
Will add you on Twitter, as soon as my site-blocker allows me access again, this afternoon. I block all the political sites during the day, so I can write when not working on the barn or the yard.
Food for thought: I saw this meme on Johnny B’s humpday
Wednesday video:
The tobacco industry paid government to say
that cigarettes were safe.
Then the same thing happened with the plastics industry
and food packaging.
And government scientists pushed seed oils
and an unhealthy food pyramid.
But I’m absolutely certain that vaccines are safe and effective
because that’s what the CDC says!
Sorry that I’m rambling.
Everything just came together in one day,
and I got overwhelmed.
Friday will be much better.
Please take care of yourself,
not for us or the comic, but for yourself.
Be selfish for once.
I am like Sam, I do not watch TV or the news.

So what’s wrong with the tower?
Can it be repaired? I have lots of spare parts.
What are it’s specifications?
