Problem: Video card is fucked.
Solution: New video card.
Problem: Replacement video card is $300.
So I’m going to have to shell out $300 for a replacement card it looks like. Found out what caused the problem though, my cooling fans got screwed up by hair and dust, so my being negligent on cleaning the laptop is the cause of the problem.
Lesson learned, I will try to order the new part soon. Until then I won’t have too much news to post here as I have to go easy on my laptop’s current video card so I’m not expecting to make too much progress, but I will keep you all informed.
See you on Friday.
UPDATE: I’m seriosuly considering just getting a new desktop instead. Laptops are great but have the lifespan of a rodent. I need a good sturdy computer, not something that will die again in 8 months.
I’ll get this figured out shortly.
In the meantime I’ve uploaded “Tankmen: Tankbusters” on the YouTube channel. Have a look if you’d like.
