Eraserhead Down

My gamepc was giving me some freezes and BSOD's (telling my display driver got in an endless loop) the past week and now it won't give me any output signal at all. So i won't be able to game untill i fix it. I'm guessing my video card has died.

This might mean i have to buy an entire new motherboard + processor + RAM + video card because my current videocard is AGP which is ancient.

Anyone who has tips for a cheap but good motherboard/videocard combo let me know. I'm thinking about shipping it directly from the USA.

no! now i can't make mistakes while using my pencil!

Use their guide. Build the AMD sweet spot build, but use an Athlon II x4.

lol, your pencil comes with an eraser, it will just smudge your paper really bad

btw if you see me ingame that means i'm on my laptop and i'm testing things on the vip server. my fps is way too bad to play on my laptop.

thnx for the link greezy.

Awwww man Eraser! I can't pwn you for a while.

I got my computer back again today and it's working again!

They say they serviced the memory and it only cost me $8.

Weird, because i removed all memory modules myself earlier. Guess i'm not so pro after all

I'm still going to order components for a new PC though. Thanks go to Jameless and Greezy for helping me pick the parts.

Oh heres something that works if theres static electricity in your memory, rub the gold part with an eraser...

So eraser what are the specs for the new comp?

Yeah, thats a nice PC.

That is good. Quite a deal. I still would go with the 5770 for the DX11 support but whatever.

A nice PC for just $535... When I compare the prices to those in the EU stores I find that they just switched the $ into a € once again. Note to myself; Buying hardware in the US and shipping it to the Netherlands is cheaper than buying in the Netherlands -.-

@ Epps: Its the same here dude. If we make things in Britain, we don't buy them here, we always get them abroad because they're quite cheaper. They're like 10X cheaper.

Oh btw, i went to some shops and the same config would cost me $1100 over here!!
