Technology is great…
…until it turns on you.
Technology turned against me.
I thought I would be greeting you from a PC with a brand new graphics card installed… instead, I’m dealing with a PC that can’t run for more than a few minutes without the fans going crazy. Then it shuts down, most likely to protect itself from overheating.
Sure, this is nowhere near as bad as what happens when fictional machines turn on you, but for a writer, blogger, and gamer, not having a working machine is a pain.
So, my usual posts will be delayed until further notice. With any luck, I’ll be up and running again soon.

So it’s the fault of the graphics card?
Another thing to be afraid of with PC Gaming?!
Actually, it turns out not. The problem was with my computer’s cooling system. It’s just a coincidence that I was trying to install a new graphics card at the time–or I might have shifted something when I opened it up (basically the cooling system went bad and was getting clogged with gunk).
