Well, I'm back... kind of.

First of all, I'm really sorry for dissapearing all the time. There's an awful lot going on in my life right now, and spare time is rare for me these days. My dad broke his foot while biking, and my mom might or might not have cancer. So yeah, though stuff. On top of all that, did my wonderful power supply provide me with twice the power it should've given, thus destroying my mainboard. Now that my PC is fixed (it's hard to find a socket 775 mainboard these days...), and now that I'm having a little bit more spare time, I'm going to give it another shot.

So, what did I miss?

fried another one?
Ouch.

You might consider checking the power output in your house, and seeing if the PSU on your comp can be calibrated to compensate.
(ive heard some older ones could be, though ive never dealt with this myself)


----edit-----
wait...are you on a surge protector?

Yup. Pretty suckish.

I got a brand new PSU now, so I hope that'll solve my problem...

Welcome back! I remember I got similar problem on my desktop back in 2009. And I recommend you not to go to hibernation very often, maybe once in a while for some very important stuffs. Since I discovered that hibernation might break down the capacitor in the power supply and/or motherboard pretty quick.

Thanks for the tip!

I hope this PC lasts longer than my previous... 3...

It's nice to see more Dazzle in these parts! Sorry to hear about your parents, and here's hoping everything turns out OK with them. You missed a few new developments in your absence, like a new skin and a mainsite demo, although things haven't been super-duper active.

im sorry to hear about that, hope your dad gets better soon, and your mom as well.
