Thankfully, no more victims
on another note, don't know if I have told you's this already, when I went round to see the Lady about Marvin
she also told me that she took in a Hedgehog as it was out in the daytime, sadly it passed away
this was probably one of the Hedgehogs that was coming round feeding from my feeding station under the shed
but there must still be more in the area as I still have nightly visits and most of the food is gone in the morning
Hope you get your computer fixed soon so you can get off the laptop, I suspect it was a mod with a laptop that accidentally locked it! I try and avoid posting on my laptop as the touchpad takes you places you didn't think you were and before you know it you've moved, split and locked a thread
And Finally the Graphics card in the pc has died
main annoyance is that it cost me £400 just over 4 years ago
and I can't really aford to buy a new one coz I just paid of one of my mortgages
( I hear Mastercard calling
)
I am currently using the big pc now as I have stuck in a £40 gfx card
but I cannot do any video editing or high demand online gaming now
other thing I can do is bake the card in the oven
I know this sounds daft, but gfx cards run very hot and with the solder joints heating up
and cooling down all the time, this causes stress points and you don't get a good connection, in theory, by sticking it in the oven at 385F (195C)
remelts the solder joint's, and then leave to cool, basically re-soldering everything, nothing to lose really, just a major operation dismantling and re-assembling
here is the last video I put up of a bike run to a chipper 60 miles away LOL
