Leave Me Broken

My com­puter at home is act­ing up. I knew that the ATi 4800 series ran hot, so I got a ver­sion of my card that had a bet­ter fan, but appar­ently that isn’t enough or the fan is dying or some­thing, because my video card keeps over­heat­ing and forc­ing my sys­tem to shut down.

Now that I’ve beaten Fall­out 3, not sure if I need the video card for any­thing, so I might just pull it out tonight. The on-​board video can han­dle web brows­ing and play­ing videos fine, and that’s all I’ll be doing until Fall­out 4 comes out or some other 3-​D game catches my fancy. Plus I’ll be sav­ing some energy. If you’re read­ing this, I hope you’re happy, Gina L!

I was also think­ing about get­ting net­work stor­age, but it would go to waste since my fam­ily is split­ting up this sum­mer. Plus I’m try­ing to save money for other things. Maybe if needed wher­ever I end up, I’ll recon­sider. Since gam­ing isn’t a big con­cern for me any more, huge net­work stor­age and a lap­top could be a lot more prac­ti­cal for me.
