My computer broke! Emergency commissions!!
6 years ago
Sooo my computer busted.
I was attempting to get my FFXIV back up and running since I was finally able to afford to resub (lolololol not anymore but its too late now.) All was good, I was downloading the patches and everything went smooth. After I was done, I was just waitin for my bf's download to finish, and my computer prompted me for a restart that I had been putting off for a day or two. So I went ahead and said fuck it.
This was the beginning of the end.
Upon reboot, steam had forgotten that ffxiv already existed and forced me to redownload everything which took several hours. I let the download run all night and it didn't really have any issues.
It finally finished and I boot it up and within 15 minutes, my computer overheated and shut down.
I let it rest for a bit and reboot it. It struggled for several more restarts before finally being able to function. I used it as normal to test to make sure it was fine. Everything ran as normal. So I put it to the true test and tried to run ffxiv, to which it overheated again. This was clearly a mistake, seeing as now it won't boot at all. It gets stuck on the start up screen before shutting down again. In addition to that, I've gotten a new error, which says that a cooling fan is now broken, on top of a hard disc failure that I've gotten before. I even tried deep cleaning it with no luck. For now, I'm letting it rest and will likely try again in a couple hours.
In the meantime, I have a spare laptop, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do much work on it. Last time I tried to use it, pen pressure didn't work. I haven't tried it yet, but its pretty important that I raise this money ASAP so I can continue to work on what I owe ; A ;
I'm not sure what the cost of repairs will be, and I've never had much luck with having laptops repaired, so I've been looking at refurbished laptops. Found a few that have specs I'll need for $150-200+shipping, but thats a bit more money than I can spend right now with bills and such.
So I'm opening up commission slots to help fund either repairs or a new laptop.
I want to budget about $200-250 just to be safe.

OP
No, the alienware is still kicking, but the screen is a bit busted, now that you mention it. It functions MOSTLY but it goes white or weird colors sometimes. I'm able to hook it up to the tv to use it though, so its a good "in between" for now at least o<-<
