Sad day...
« on: June 13, 2005, 12:59:00 pm »
I woke up this morning to find my computer off, which is unusual since I do not turn it off.

Apparently we had a power failure last night. Well....when I turned her on and after she booted, I was having severe graphics problems..

Well, after some intensive troubleshooting, I have narrowed the issue to a couple of areas, the first and primary is I think my video card is kaput. The fan on the GPU siezed and is not functioning so I believe it over heated the chip and is causing my issues. If that isn't the case then the power issue zapped my mobo. Lets hope it is the video card.

Anyway, I won't have the extra money to get a new one for at least a month, potentially more. So I won't be playing NWN for that time period. *cries*

I have a laptop, but unfortunately it is only 64MB shared memory on board graphics, which basically means, for a graphic intensive game like NWN...well...severe lag. Ug.

I will however still frequent the forums and keep up with what is going on.

Luna will miss all her new found friends, but she WILL be back.

And just when she was getting good at crafting...dang..lol

    That is so awesome for you to offer that! :)

    Let me ask, will a 32MB card run NWN well?

    Just curious.

      Ran with the same video card in my box for a long time till I got my 256M one.

      Runs NWN just fine, though you might have to turn down a couple settings.   ;)

        Well...

        Amazingly enough, when I turned my computer on today, it worked!

        I have no idea why it did what it was doing or how it is working now, but it is! Yippee!

        So Thanks again for the offer, but I do not think I shall need your card now.:) Perhaps someone else in need will.
