Title: Bah - Windows
Post by: Naaman on 26 October 2007, 11:55:38 AM

Windows decided to go screwy, booting to a blue screen and then restarting.

Will have a poke tonight but time on over the weekend might be erratic

Looks like my bodge the other week wasn't resilient enough to stand up to I 11 :( every other game is working fine.

Will be ordering a new hard drive tomorrow and probably doing a fresh install of windows next week.

I know you always come round and fix my PC John but there is still a space in the world for me to pop round with a big hammer - call it therapy!

K-  Full delete and re-install of CoH helped but tweaking for best eye candy causes CoH to lock up intermittently. So going to run a stress test on the card to see if the fault's there (unlikely) or if it's some wacky Windows problem  ::)
