You are a bad, bad brother! When I build computers for clients I charge a maximum of $200 profit, for friends I charge between $50 to $100, and for immediate and girlfriend; the cost of the parts.
Come to think of it, I really need to upgrade my computer as I am getting pretty crappy framerates lately, and last night I think my videocard overheated as it gave me some cool kaleidoscope effects in little squares that covered the whole screen. Alas, I am in saving mode for a car and ultimately a down payment on a house. Approximately 1/5 of the way there already.
That's funny Cack, I've been getting the samething from my 6800 GT OC. In fact, I have actually crashed more in the last week or so then I have ever playing this game. I wonder if the server or maybe the patch may have something to do with that?
I was getting something flashing on my screen but it was so quick couldn't tell what it was. It looked like another screen or maybe the same screen but way lower cus the mini map or something was 2/3 of the way down the screen. Never saw it before just last night. Also I can hear a real faint beep sometimes since I put the X1900XT in. I turned on Over Drive so maybe it has something to do with that. I can't figure how to turn OD off now.
Today my videocard overheated again and I didn't have any signal going to my monitor. There was a whole lot of noise and beeping in my headphones.
I think that my motherboard shut the videocard down to prevent it from melting. I took the case cover off and then plugged in a regular fan pointed at my computer. A whole lot of air is being blown at my computer components and it seems to have solved the problem, with an added bonus of a slightly better framerate.
The [___] group!
