basically it goes like this, once upon a time, Turnsky wanted to play a nice round of world of warcraft on his PC, the PC, wanted to lock up, a brief battle ensued, and the PC eventually won its depraved fate, and denied me the use of a better chunk of my games, since now every time i want to run anything remotely 3d orientated, it either hard locks, bsod's or just plain restarts (computer geeks see 77, 7A and F4 errors).
and now, lately, it's started to creep into every day functioning of the system itself, photoshop included, now the recent delays weren't because of that.. there was personal reasons to that lot, mainly a bad case of artist's block.
anywho, i've started to get back into my groove (lo and behold, i've actually got one inked early for once!), and now, (i think my PC hates me) i get these problems with it locking up randomly with the same issues, the thing being, it's just so random, i don't know what happens to cause it, let alone how to stop it.
To that end, i figured it was time to save up some cash for a large wad of hardware..
