So since October 09 my computer has been doing some weird things. Crashing, restarts, BSODs. On all games and even web browsing. Computer is two years old so should not be dying yet at this stage. Took it to Microcenter to have it run through benchmarking tests as we thought it was the graphics cards failing.
They couldn't find the problem, but we replaced the graphics cards anyways. The next step was to get a new mother board, but DELL CS is NO help whatsoever in getting a new one. Been on the phone with them three times already and still no closer to obtaining the part I need. God I hate DELLs.
Anyways, after installing two brand new Geforce GTX 460s late November, all those problems went away. No more restarts, BSODs or crashes with any other game or web browsing any more.
Except Istaria. Istaria has gotten worse to the point where it is no longer playable. I log in, walk three feet in the ED and get a BSOD or my computer mysteriously resets itself. I can craft sometimes and if I'm sitting still, the computer is fine. But if I go into combat, computer restarts itself.
At this point I'm not sure what to do but I've been playing less and less over the months because it is just too frustrating to be on Brightheart who has to walk out to the ED gate and dodge a ton of baddies to get her primal mastery X done and I've gotten 8 DPs in two hours (and a lot of walks back) because of these resets.
