Forum Overview :: Rants :: HAPPY ENDING (final post about my computer)

[quote name="Fussbett"]My computer works again, at it's proper CPU speed, and although it crashes during every game AND even IE, despite maintaining a constant sub-50 degree CPU temp, I'm going to write that off as a software conflict somewhere, and declare victory. Thank you all for standing by me during my darkest days. It got pretty crazy there for a while when on the other machine all I could really do was websurf. At one point during my dementia I even composed a huge message about cars (!!!) in the American McGee's Honda Civic forum. Fortunately I came to my senses before hitting POST. In summary it was: "Chevy Cavalier: really gay. Ford Marauder: really gay, slower than an Accord. Freedom Car: American car companies are gay. Audi RS6: 450HP sedan! ^____^" System Configuration General Information Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 DirectX Version 9.0a Mobo Manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer INC.
