Computer my computer back today but after 3 days of solid testing, they weren’t able to replicate the problem. The only variable was that they used their on monitor rather than mine of course. But if there’s a problem of some kind with my monitor then they clearly wouldn’t have found it. I have a feeling the problem hasn’t gone away so now it’s waiting time to see if and when it does it again. If it does then I’ll take the computer and monitor up and they can check things that way. Damn this is frustrating and stressful.

But now there’s this waiting game, and damn is it stressful! I need my computer to DE-stress, not add to it.

Hope it doesn’t reoccur… there’s always the chance it didn’t cope well with the heat you had recently.
-
But you’d expect it to misbehave during the heat, though, not after it. I’ve had it going for about 8 hours today and I haven’t notice it do it. Weird.

French (as in French Manicure. I had to look that up.)

So, now I’m getting a “Display driver Nvidia Windows kernel mode driver xxxxx stopped responding and has successfully recovered” problems. Every couple of minutes, which started yesterday. Did a system restore to a previous stable version and now we wait. If it keeps doing it then it could be hardware, as in a failing video card. But if that’s true then there’s the question of why I’ve had multiple hardware failures all of a sudden. Which could suggest a problem with the motherboard. We’ll have a very anxious wait to see if it does it again. *sigh*

If it’s hardware, then one possibility is a bad power supply. (When those are bad, it can manifest itself as bad hardware across the board.) I seriously overrated mine the last time I did a replacement, and it’s been good for 8-9 years so far, it even came with a free copy of windows 7, which was fairly new at the time.

Yeah, a dodgy psu is one thing I’ve thought of. If it’s occasionally feeding incorrect voltage to things then that could certainly explain why I had two hard drives fail simultaneously. Time for a thorough health check on my computer, I think.

It's hardware not software. Will have to take computer in on Monday. I'm typing this on my phone since I'll be leaving my computer off. So a message to DG, i won't be on here to do my work for an unknown length of time.
