Just one quick bitch, part two

Dear parents of students: please do not contradict me on matters of basic music theory.
Having played music for 18 1/2 years, I am pretty good with things that kids who've been played for 3 months know.

My bloody neck hurts like fuck.

Why must I have computer problems? Just had a BSOD.

Did you upgrade anything recently? Like a graphics driver?

I haven't upgraded anything as it is a new computer.

['andersom']

Bugs. The sickening ones.

Could do with a "normal" kids in school week for a change. Haven't had once since June

If kitty kats wasn't exactly ready for her photo debut before she still isn't. Damn thing won't sit still for a millisecond!

Will some motion blurry photos do?

[ProfessorFarnsworth]

I am not amused. I got to do something else for a couple of hours, hoping this download would be done by now, and it turns out it's only half way done. Stupid ass internet connection.

 Yes, please post pics of your sweet little blur of fur!

Changed a doctors appointment that was for today to do work on a house for a good customer only to have it canceled

Unfortunately sometimes BSODs happen for no apparent reason. Let's hope it was just a fluke.

 The toothache is returning again,    fortunately the root canal is tomorrow.

If it happens again jot down the whole error string it gives you, sometimes that can help you pinpoint it.

They had a windows update a couple years back that caused people all kinds of grief with this, after installing the computer would go directly to the BSOD and refuse to boot. 

I trash picked two nice systems suffering from nothing but this around that time.

What a horrible windows update heh.

Yeah I should have written down what the bluescreen said but I just restarted the computer. Like odeon said, hopefully it was a fluke

Could be overheating if you're performing intensive operations on it, there's two particular ones I got on one of my laptops that basically says unknown hardware error or "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION". Figured that I'd "disable" turbo boosting by setting the maximum processor percentage to 99% in power settings, and never got that hardware related BSOD again for months. Turns out when I conducted tests, the CPU was reaching above 90C in extreme cases and the tweak saw it never go above 80C.

Here's a useful tool that allows temperature monitoring and stats:

Won't exactly help find problems, but it provides a lot of system information.

Itchy and uncomfortable.

Thanks, that gives some interesting information about my computer. Means I know what some stuff is without opening the computer up heh. At the time I got the BSOD I was looking at stuff on the internet, had two tabs open, nothing else running. Don't know if it was doing background stuff though. At the moment computer is running at 44C.
