So I try logging in last night....

Post by Marrkin » Thu Aug 30, 2012 6:22 pm

and the Launcher is telling me that the SWTOR login service was unavailable.....

/le sigh

Then, I couldnt load Google, kept giving me certificate expiration warnings, couldnt run Windows Update, and so on and so on....

I had replaced my Mobo Battery earlier in the day, and didnt figure that should have done anything so crucially bad. So I'm sitting there with my arms folded doing the "harumph" of futility... and then it hit me. WTH does my CMOS/BIOS say?

Yeah.... my computer thought it was 2005. Awesome. So I brought it up to date, literally.

Don't know if I'm in the clear yet, but it seems to be working better. As skiggity knows I was having a shitload of graphic issues before I left for vacation, but everything I found pointed to my motherboard. Hopefully will have some answers tonight. Possibly solved, possibly not.

Double ties are pretty easy to. Some high-profile fashion futurephile is going to put that in a fashion show, I betcha.

Well,

Super awesome update....

EVGA has granted me another RMA on my newest GTX670 FTW, so with any luck I will receive another one or something better in the next week-ish.

Also,

Mushkin Advanced has granted me an RMA for my dead set of Redline RAM modules, so I will be back up to 16gb in the next couple weeks as well. Turns out the 2 sets of modules I purchased have LIFETIME WARRANTIES! uber-woots....

I sure hope once these are all done that I won't have to deal with this crap anymore. I just want my system to run the way I built it!
