R.I.D BASE OF OPERATIONS

It shall be great.

Whats Wrath?

me vs this pos computer. in short, i resub'd to swg, and well...my comptuer keeps freezing. i'll name it the rice crispy freeze, cause i get the sound of rice crispies being introduced to milk followed by the computer locking up.

Atleast you can satisfy your hunger now.. ?

Good to see that a good BH is actually playing SWG again lol.

well i got 20 minutes remaining on dload and it froze. i'm about to toss the computer. but i'd suffer due to lack of anything to do when parents hog the television.

Sometimes when my parents take the TV from me in the living room i go get the kitchen remote and set it to the living room TV's code and mess with them lol, universal remotes for the win.

My friend brought a universal remote to school and turned it up REALLY loud in study hall

yeah well once i get back in. i'm going bounty hunting.

i just did that windows update that's been sitting idly on my taskbar for several months. updating the game, expecting to hear rice crispies and having to restart for the quadrillionth time. dammit

well, looks like i won't be on SWG anytime in the near future. computer repair sucks and i usually do more harm than good.

What exactly is the problem Kiot? Perhaps we can walk you through it. Arramen is an electronics engineer, *wink wink*

hmm....well i got it downloaded, updated. now play won't appear. i press full scan. now this is what happens

i get a single little wavy line, barely noticable on the top of the monitor, then a crackle of sound through the speakers (sounds like rice crispies) the longer i wait without exiting, the louder, more crackling happens, and then it just locks up, monitor switches to 'no signal' and i gotta hold the power button down to shut it completely down. keyboard will not respond (verified through num lock, caps lock, and scroll lock).

well i'm gonna try and fix my Acer i bought back in May. hopefully all i need to do is change out the power supply. if i can't fix it, might drop it off somewhere to have it looked into. -_-

Could be a video card issue. Does this only happen with SWG?

no, happens with anything that uses video. i dunno maybe the damn card just overheated, which is lame cause i keep the case open.

Does sound like it. Perhaps you could swap it out with another video card if you have one and test it. Some cases are actually made to cool better when closed (if the fans are positioned correctly that is).

i have another video card, but it's PCI-E...

i guess i could pull the card out and switch over to onboard.

gonna check the PSU on my Acer and see if i can get that one up...that one is sweet, 320 GB HD, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, Dual Core Processor...it's been giving me a problem since i put a 8800GT in though, with the NO POST. it's been since like beginning of june since i really messed with it. i think i tried just about everything to get it up and running. the fans on that spin, the drives seem to work, but no post or display comes on. might have fried the motherboard, but i don't see any burns, rechecked the cables/connections like a hundred times. i did a google on 'NO POST' and a few people report that they just had to change out their PSU, or their CPU was plugged in wrong, or they had bad RAM. I tried everything except changing the PSU...since the PSU works in this computer, think i'll just swap it into the Acer and see if it works.

I even tried taking the cmos battery out for a few minutes and putting that back in, no change.

I let my friend borrow the 8800GT to see if it would work in his computer, but his didn't have a PCI-E slot...gotta get that back from him.

the acer does have integrated video so i may be able to resurrect it.
