Mesha is broken!

I'm not sure what has been decided yesterday concerning the quest, but I wasn't there to see it.

The current case is: My old videocard (the one I replaced after the other one burned through when I was question with some players), decided to give up on me as well, leaving me with a computer that refuses to start through to my Operating system.

This leaves Mesha broken for quite some time, as I won't have the money for a new videocard till the 26th of October. Now I'm certain the quest will go through as planned, and that any questions PMed to me will be answered in due time, but it does leave me out of the running for quite a while.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience,

Mesha

@Mesha : If a second graphics card gives up after a first "burned through", your system may have power issues. (Especially likely if your power device makes strange high-pitched noises). In that case, it's a good choice to change the power device as well and hope that the mainboard has not suffered.

Actually I have one graphics card I don't need anymore, was in my PC before.
It's a Radoen X1650, interested?

Not expecting money or anything

I checked my power first, as you said, but it's just fine. It didn't burn through, it's a problem in the circuitry. I brought it to the Customer Support section of Alternate today, and I'm getting a new one. They didn't have one available right away, so they'll call me when it comes. They ordered it for me. *squee*

So should be back in business in around 4 days or so,

Happy GM Mesha

P.S. And the other graphics card is my old card. I think I didn't clean it enough, so static dust might be causing that. *ponders* perhaps I should try cleaning it now.

Always good to make sure to clean your coolers regularily to avoid overheatings XD
