Out In The Cold
Well, my video card died yesterday morning and unfortunately took something out with it. I just didn’t have the time or energy to be rooting around in the computer to figure it out.
So I dug out of the closet my old computer. It hasn’t been hooked up since April 07. I prayed that it worked as I hooked it back up. So here I am back on the old computer.
I need to get in touch with IBuyPower to find out about the other computer. I found an old email showing that I had purchased the 3 year warranty on it. So that is good. I have a feeling that I will have to send it back in to get fixed though. I was hoping that just dropping a new video card in would fix it. But it won’t.
At least I have a back up until I figure out what is going on. I would hate to lose the data on the other computer. I have 2 hard drives each with about 100 gigs worth of info. Granted, most of it is games. My mmos take up huge expanses of space due to all the patches and expansions.
I sincerely doubt that I would be able to play many MMOs on this computer. I was already lagging in most games over a year ago. I would hate to see how it is now. At least I still have Guild Wars. I found out one time that I could still play Guild Wars even on dial up. So I should have no problem playing it still on this computer.
