New Rig Update
🕑 Added 2020-07-05 00:49:20 +0000 UTCJust wanted to drop an update for folks, both for why there hasn't been much happening, and why there still likely won't be for a while.
The new rig's been a nightmare.
It's unstable as all hell, and I'm having a really, really bad time trying to diagnose it. At this point it's either the CPU's defective, but only in a way that very few stress tests seem able to make it fail or show any problems; or it's a problem of the PSU, while being over on wattage, still being unable to provide enough power and browning-out the computer.
It's basically too unstable for me to work. I tried to put in a couple hours last week once I got it back from the shop that couldn't nail down what's wrong either, and repeatedly lost everything I was doing as the programs crash every half hour or so. So... I'm pretty well at my wit's end. I have another CPU, different RAM, and another PSU coming, but I'm getting shafted by shipping and I'm probably going to end up having to sell things off locally once I find out what the problem actually is and get parts replaced.
I've sunk way more time and money into this supposed upgrade than I'd like to admit, and all for a buggy, unstable piece of shit. So very, very disheartened. I hope it gets sorted soon so that I can get back to work and back to even being able to do anything I enjoy.
I will be back soon. I hope.
