Yesterday I was playing C&C generals when the screen started going crazy, figured it must have just been because the graphics card was overheating (seeing as its a AMD laptop it gets increadibly hot), so left it an hour then tried again, same problem.
After that i blew out as much dust i could from the 50mm fans, and when trying to blow dust out the exhaust from the graphics card i found a dead moth.... fully stuck under the plastic casing, pulled it out with a pair of tweezers and everything worked fine.
The phrase "bug" was coined by Grace Hopper, who found a moth blocking the cogs in one of the earliest computers.
Have you ever had a animal related computer breakdown ? any intresting stories ?
And (as a side question) does anyone know if overclockers do student discount ? always worth asking.
