Thread: Computer died, no Dreavenings until I can get it fixed

  1. #1

    Default Computer died, no Dreavenings until I can get it fixed

    So my computer decided to stop working earlier today. I’m hoping it’s just the power supply and I’ve already ordered a new one that will supposedly be here tomorrow, but I have my doubts on that.

    I’m just hoping it is the power supply and it’s not that everything in my computer fried somehow. The last time I backed up my lich folder was a few weeks ago so I’m gonna lose some Dreavening stats for everyone if the hard drive did fail, not to mention other changes I have made to various Dreavening related scripts in that time I have also been working a lot on a new hunting script so my guys can all hunt together instead of individually and that for sure hasn’t been backed up at all so that’s gonna be fun if I have to redo all that again.

    In any case if the power supply comes tomorrow and that fixes everything then Dreavenings tomorrow. If it’s not the power supply then I’ll probably just buy another computer so that will be a week or two or more for that.

    What specifically is it doing?

    Also unless the hard drive is just fucked, you should be able to back all that up. Which you should always have a copy of your GS folders on Dropbox or something.

    Surely you didn't store all that data on your OS drive, and have a separate data drive for in case you have to wipe your system, right?

    RIGHT?????????????????????????????

    It won’t power on at all, pushing the power button does nothing. It just turned off by itself earlier today and hasn’t worked since.

    I have an OS drive and the Lich folder is on a separate hard drive. I would regularly back up the Lich folder to a thumb drive but it’s been a few weeks at this point. Really that’s the main thing I’m worried about because I don’t really keep much on this computer, I mostly just use it to play games. Not looking forward to have to do all of that coding again if the hard drive is gone.

    When you lick the PSU, do you taste electricity?
    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    Then the problem isn't the PSU. There might be a clog in the outlet, try loosening it with a fork.

    Should I stand in a bucket of water while I try this?

    Have you called Backlash yet? I'm sure he would suggest more ventilation via drilling holes in the case.

    Make sure to ask for recommendations on computers from the PC, and then just go grab one from BestBuy.
