More computer problems -_-

Posted by Mottis - September 6th, 2010


Don't know what happened, but my computer shut itself off randomly just now. I turned it back on, and it got stuck at startup where it says 512 ram or something on a DOS-like screen(normally it stays there only for a a brief moment)

I unplugged the whole thing for a few minutes, and then tried again and it works now. However, I'm worried as hell. I don't feel like animating too much in the case I forget to save and I lose a lot of work if my computer decides to crash, so I'm going to take it slow for a while and see if it happens again.

I'll update when the situation evolves.

Could it be overheating? That was a serious problem with my old computer. Whenever I'd try to play a 3d game on my computer, it'd shut off without warning after a half hour or so...

Well, I hope this isn't the case, and that you'll be able to finish Bunnykill 5 soon... :D

That's my guess. Though the weird thing is that I wasn't doing anything that would cause excess overheating. I was watching a random L4D2 stream when it happened. The computer fans weren't going crazy either. (which they sometimes do when I play a game for example)

I always wait for your work so take time.
Anyway I think you should repair it or buy new part... :(

It's working fine now. Lets hope it lasts....

Maybe your computer has dust in it... my computer exploded yesterday cos of all the dust in it, haha

Yeah there was some dust inside, but not too much. Which is weird cause I have 2 cats walking around so you'd think it would get really messy inside the computer real fast.

Oh man i'm very sorry.

But i hope (and it is very probably) that the computer run again.

Good luck ;)

thank your lucky stars you dont have my comp it restarts.....on its own......FOR NO REASON! i can be staring at my desktop and my comps all like oh haha ile just restart like a b**** and one time it had the audatity to restart after it just got re loaded from restarting

My previous computer did that. It would restart for no apparent reason, all the time, at the most unconvenient times. It's most likely overheating. Try to use the comp with the side open and put an external fan blowing at it, see if that helps it cool down

wonderkid124, your problem is in the computer starters. If your computer is 4-5 years old or more its starters fried and you need new ones. I had that problem with my old computer. Go and fix 'em cuz it's annoying I know what it is your computer to restart a few times when starts ;)

Just dump your entire system on an external hard-drive

maybe it was because you hit the switch accidentally? Was it a one time thing?

Yeah it happened only once but there was no way I could have hit the switch. I was just chillin on the chair, watching the screen then BAM. It might have been a power surge though, who knows.

use the NG dump daily to backup your work, it's handy. My computer is a bit of a relic and I'm worried that one day it'll burn down and take the hard drives with it.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm comfortable using my external harddrives for backup purposes :)

sorry for the computer, but
see my scenarios
and please tell what I need to improve

ps: if you know any program to create scenarios, also helps

I'm posting from work atm, the net is super slow here so I'll check them later.

117 kills? I'd hate to think who has to clean up that mess

that sucks, hope luck to you

WTF MAN! But, do you save bunnykill 5 after this problem?

Well, I wasn't working on Bk5 when the crash occured, so I didn't lose any work. So yeah, Bk5 is safe :3
