Hey all thought I would try to make my self feel a bit better hearing about all your computer disasters you have had this year :P.

Mine is:

A very kind friend gave me his old PC :O

Intel i5 760
Asus p7p55-d Motherboard (I think its that one)
8 Gb of ram
and a 480 GPU

I really thought chrimbo and me B day had came at once :O

I don't get to upgrade really so this was awesome for me.

Any way was using it one day about two weeks after getting it and boom GPU died :(

So I stuck a really old card in it I thought it was a 512mb card but turns out its just a 256mb card LOL :O.

Any way my same friend purchased a second hand GPU for me and I was gob smacked he would do this for me any way I fitted this to find it did not work :( so went back to my real crappy 256mb card.

Any way I sold my PS3 after 3 weeks of advertising in the hope to get funds for new GPU and managed to sell it for £100 :(.

I thought ok I can get a second hand card for this.

Then was sat there thinking hmmmm I also need to purchase a Bday present for my daughter so will be using PS3 funds for that instead as she wants a bike this year :).

So long story short so far 2015 is going terrible.

There is one thing that really is terrible that has happened this year much much worse than my PC but I don't think its the place to talk about that :(.

Any way tell me what has gone wrong this year for you to make me feel better (PC related only) LOL :P
 
LOL

Yeah I cant beleive he gave me all that stuff to :O I told him sell it mate get some moneys for it but he was very kind and said to have it :O I am very lucky in that respect LOL :).

I was finnaly able to play ARMA3 at some what good FPS but yeah this card wont run any thing now :P
 
LOL he is a very good friend I actually have a few bits to give him he knows about one of them the other he will love as he wants to get one but he wont need to now :) so looking forward to giving him them :)

P.S

Nexusk yeah HDD are a pain when they die even more so when they do with out warning as they leave you no room to back up unless your the type who backs up any way every week/month etc

ah I see

I did hear about stutter issues must have been this card.
So how are they going to fix it then or cant it be fixed with firmware etc?

Got home last night and my Tri-X 290 has decided to die, with no warning what so ever. It was perfectly fine in the morning, went to work, came home and that was it no boot 9/10 times and garbled fonts all over the place when it did.


Card isn't even a year old. RMA fun times ahead!

Rocking a beastly HD6570 until it's replaced... :(
