My Video Card Hurt Me


The computer is up and running. It crashed about a week ago, so I was home without a PC for days. I thought that my hard drive had crashed, but after talking to friends, I was assured that problem may lie with the video card.

When I brought the CPU to Calvatron in Garapan - I was relieved to hear that the video card was the culprit. However, my heart skipped a beat when the technician told me that the monitor may have caused the crash. What the heck?! I tell you, I was not in a sweet mood. I discussed it with Cinta who was not convinced that the monitor was a problem. She wanted us to make sure that the monitor at home was completely inoperable. We held off on purchasing a replacement monitor and also saved a lot of money. After taking care of some minor glitches, life was back to normal.

A big Olomwaay! to my buddies: Lex (Just Relax), Frank (My Tenda) and Mel Mendiola (co-worker) for the trouble-shooting tips. Thanks for allowing me to bug you guys. ; )

I highly doubt that your monitor caused the crash. Tell that technician to quit trying to puff on the back-up batteries, not good.

More than likely your vidcard's overheating or there was some pwr surge. Of course it might just be lacking a little love and tenderness :P

Good assessment lex, but the big problem here is the user....playing an internet game with two other windows loading up the vids (only lord knows what kinda vids) and his quest guide on MS Word open. All in all...what ole gussy here needs is to buff up the HD, Swift the RAM, and AOE the bugs!!!!

Naaa! You computer nerds are wrong. It's engine #8 at the power plant that's the problem. It's down and that's why Gus here is experiencing problems with his computer.
