The Old One On The Bus...

In the case of the Higgs particle collider and, if there was something back in time to save the universe for coming under a bus. It's a paradox to go back in time and murder your grandfather, but physicists are agreed that there is no paradox if you are going back in time to avoid being hit by a bus coming, "responds Dannis Overbye in the New York Times." In the case of the Higgs particle collider and, it is like something back in time to save the universe by a bus.

I just replayed Slave to a Machine, and holy fuck Ricky, that was fucking awesome. I had forgotten it enough that playing through hard was like, perfection.

Hope that makes you happy. if not, Opps! well one Zellyard is 1' 154.000.000.

The Windows 7 Install Saga

#17596 posted by DaZ on 2009/10/23 14:40:10

:P

My god, this is quite possibly the strangest hardware error I have ever come across :)

So I've been using the RC1 version of win7 for a few months, and was loving it - so I bought the home premium version yesterday. Got home, formatted c: and started the install process for windows 7.

It crashes the PC at around 80% installed, so I reboot and try again, it crashes the pc at 72%. This story continues for around an hour, seemingly crashing the pc at a lower percentage of completeness each time. I scratch my beard (that I dont have).

I take the side panel of my pc off, to check that everything is ok inside, everything looks fine, so I think what the hell and give it another try, the pc crashes while the windows 7 installer is loading... hmmm.

Its at this point I notice that the fan on my graphics card has stopped spinning (thank god I removed the side panel)! So after a quick power off I check the card and its boiling all over, oh crap I think and leave it to cool down. Come back an hour later and try again and the fan seems to work fine. However, as soon as the windows 7 installer starts loading, the fan turns off!?

Luckily I had a spare old gpu lying around that I could plug in and install windows (this was fine now) on, and then swap the other card back in.

Bizarre? =)
