Title: Unplayable, not sure what is broken.
Post by: Piston on April 26, 2009, 01:48:45 PM

Shit just jumps out of nowhere and morphs into shapes.  Something is fucked up. It was playable until today. Here are some examples.

Edit: Just saw these GTS 250s, I have no fucking clue where they fit, but anything that takes up that much room in your case has to be fast right???

The fan is spinning but is the air being blocked? Dust can build up on the heat sink fins like the lint in a dryer's link trap, preventing the fan from blowing air over it which will cause heat issues. Since most cards have a thin shroud over the actual heat sink it can be hard to tell unless you actually take it out and look at it.

May be late? absent? fuck my asshole. I dropped it off my buddies house again. Power supply?  Not sure, those are the things I think he said when I frantically called him up today blabbering that it wouldn't turn on, or shut off before it loaded.
