If we boil the egg, then we could take its shell off! then it might talk for it has no protection!

I think I'll take tonight and tomorrow off...I can type but put me in a cockpit with a dodgy joystick and things are going to go wrong quickly.

HunterICX · 07-28-10, 04:42 PM

After having some issues tonight with my PC I won't host flight untill things are resolved.

I blame it on that egg of Oberon...

*RIP hunters 8800...

HunterICX · 07-28-10, 05:24 PM

Huraaay, it's official my 8800GT bit the dust it seems

No drivers - it runs fine (except I can't run anything)
with drivers - Graphical glitches in games and windows, system lock up now even my splash screen (windows load up screen) has a nice formation of blue dotted pixels in a pattern and that's in DOS.

so it seems I'll be not flying for quite a while.

so probally gonna prep my PC up for a complete formatation and reinstallation and have a upgrade perform on it with a newer video card, more ram, probally a better CPU and when needed a bigger PSU. and perhaps some extra fans to keep it cooler.

@Hunter
Video cards don't necessarily die because of heat. I had a Nvidia that died after about two years with pretty much the same symptoms as yours and I don't think it died from heat in my PC.

Considering he said it ran 60° C idle, I'd say that's that it is the most likely cause.

They run fairly toasty, my GTS gets up to 58 in idle too, but is completely inaudible then (even after cranking up the cooling a little). They never run over 80C under load though.
