+quack74 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Well I havent been able to post anything this past week due to a fried graphics card. The fan stopped working on my Nvidia6800XTX last week. Needless to say in cooked. Now I cant get into my PC. Funds are tight these days so I'll just try to replace the card and do a system restore if I can. I can only run in safe mode for a bit but cant work on anything. Funny I was working on Ltn. Auer's DV of Jasta 32b in photoshop. Lots of work getting the stripes on the forward fuselage. But I finally got it, then poof!. Awsome right? As soon as I get back up and running I'll post my Jasta 12 DIII's and early DV's from summer 1917. Then a few more Dr.1's. Talk to you all soon. Quote
Bandy Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Good luck, sorry to hear of your misfortune... Quote
deep Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Looks like you're back up and running... we can all breathe a sigh of relief! Quote
+quack74 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 Lol! My PC is on life support. I'm waiting for my new video card to come in the mail. I managed to get a few files out tonight. Couldnt get anymore because the PC keeps shutting down on me after 20mins or so. Sucks! Lucky for me I was able to back up all my files. My FE folder is approximately 7.5GB. I wonder why my video card fried. Quote
deep Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I had a somewhat similar experience a few years ago - the fan blade had separated from the shaft. I super-glued it back and that worked for a while. If you have an on-board chip also, I'd remove the card and activate that at least to get access to your files. Of course this suggestion is purely altruistic... Quote
