Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

*gets off soapbox*

My Pc Hates Me
I don't know what it is. It's becoming irritatingly recurring frequency. Perfectly fine and running systems just get...unstable when I use them. And it's not like I'm some ignorant n00bie with computers! I'm a pretty decent power-user of my system and I know what's good and what's bad with them. I know how to avoid spyware and viruses and I never have problems like that with my system. And yet.... I'm always having crash and instabilty errors. It's like the system will be perfectly fine. Stable. Normal. Then literally out of nowhere, BSOD. And another. And another. No software changes, no hardware changes. No changes in how I use the computer. Same programs as always but suddenly absolutely no stability.

I've been getting erros (nv4_mini.sys) which track to my video card. But there's nothign wrong with it. And even updating the drivers doesn't help.

I'm getting IRQ errors (driver_irq_not_less_or_equal) even though none of my hardware has changed, nor have I added any.

I'm getting STOP errors that result in zero information or understanding of why.

Today, I'm here, chatting and bam! BSOD. Reboot. Get to my desktop. Bam! BSOD. Reboot. Get to my desktop, nothing's running and try to run my anti-virus scan to see if there's something wonky in my system somehow. Bam. BSOD.

And it's not just today. It's been over a week it's doing this. Love doesn't know what's wrong or why it keeps doing this kind of thing. There's nothing wrong with it and yet, it just keeps going through these phases where it dies all the time, out of nowhere and for no apparent reason. It's been stable for months. Before that, it was crashing several times a day. Before that, it was stable. Now we're back into crashing and we don't know why. We go through all the hoops - last time, replacing ram and things to see if it was a physical issue but none of it worked and then it just stopped happening and went away like it never was a problem. Again, this time, we're looking at this random problem that just doesn't make sense. Love does this for a living! He manages over 600 pc's at his work. And he's continually baffled at why my perfectly fine computer systems always take a nose-dive.

I mean I'm really starting to think it's me. I'm really starting to believe that despite the fact I do everything right when it comes to using a computer, that something about computers and I are totally incompatable. I love my computer. I don't know why it hates me so much in return.

It's like the first car I ever had. Hated me. And only me. Stalled literally everytime I'd apply the brakes. But only if I drove it. If the mechanic drove it, or my mom did, it purred like a kitten. The car just had this physical grudge against me. I just broke the car for some reason that doesn't add up in reality. Seems to be the same with me and computers. And the problem just seems to get worse each year.
