Computer update
a year ago
Well, computer still in the shop, might get it back this evening.
They got the boot drive sorted out and repaired, but while doing a stress test on the system it just randomly shut down. Further examination found one of my sets of memory is going bad and failing intermittently. When it fails, I lose half my RAM and the computer crashes. I told them to pull the bad parts and I'll replace those myself since they don't have the parts in stock, the computer can operate with half its RAM for a little bit.
They're doing one more stress test then they are supposed to give me a call to come and get it. Looking online I'm pleased to see RAM has gotten alot cheaper from the last time I build that PC at least. The worst is that my performance will suffer for a little bit. But having a computer that boots up every time and doesn't crash will make art and streaming alot more doable with less fear of losing progress and work.
So, while getting too late to stream today, maybe I can tomorrow if everything works out right. *crosses fingers*

Well, got it back finally. Just only half the RAM working, but at least it's not crashing.

Yeah, it's finally staying on without crashing randomly and it's booting up properly at least.
