The Phoenix has Risen Again!
So I spent nearly three months without computer. During a typical internet session, the goddamn machine just up and quit on me, and wouldn't start back up again. So we had to take the thing apart to see what was wrong with it, and it turns out the goddamn fan quit working. While I was waiting for the thing to get fixed, I tided myself over with an ASUS laptop running Windows 8. It's a good netsurfer and word processor, but it's a very limited gamer. We tried lots of things, including getting a new fan, but in the end, we ended up having to get another graphics card - a NVIDIA GeForce 960. But my machine is back, it is back from the dead like its namesake, and I AM BACK IN BUSINESS!
