Issues with graphics card?
So I was playing a game when my display suddenly switched off, saying 'No Signal.'
I shut down my computer, opened the chassi, and turned it back on.
My graphic card's fans were not spinning and didn't appear to be on, but the light on the PCI-6 Connector was green, indicating it was receiving power. I plugged my monitor into the onboard GPU, and visuals were restored.
I tried dusting it off with some canned air; didn't do anything.
Is my GPU toasted?
My PSU is 850 watt with like four 12 volt rails, and everything in this computer is brand new and only about 4 months old. GPU is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 660.
1 AnswerDesktops8 years agoWhy does/did everyone have such a hard on for The Eagles?
Be honest, they're overrated.
There were tons of acts that came out of the same period, playing similar music, did it better, and didn't get half the recognition that the Eagles got.
4 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoWhy do people give up and become fat once in a committed relationship?
Why is it that, when people have entered the mid-later stages of a committed relationship, they decide its time to get fat? It doesn't make any since.
People in the first world (primarily America) make such a massive deal about appearances when it comes to relationships that it's almost sickening. But when it comes down to the wire, everyone decides that its time to get morbidly obese and stop shaving their back hair.
So, you go from a fickle shitlord demanding perfection, then once you've found that possible person, you ultimately turn into a blubbery monstrosity.
As someone who's never been in a relationship, but having seen this occur more times than I care to count, I can honestly say I don't get it.

4 AnswersOther - Society & Culture8 years agoWhat is it about anime that makes white people act retarded?
Why is it that when you meet a white kid that likes anime, they mix one or two japanese words into an English sentence. Why do they eat sticks of sugar and flash the peace sign so much?
Why do they think they're 'xD random' and say unbelievably stupid **** like 'XDXD Girr-waffle of doom ^.^'
I don't get it.

1 AnswerYahoo Answers8 years agoWhy are the English versions of most female characters in "Naruto" so easily dislikable?
Basically title.
Not only are the vast majority of the main female cast bad, poorly written, and plain useless, but pretty much every female character in the minor filler arcs are completely dislikable.
I know English dubbers have a penchant for the "emo" ****. But this writing is so bad it's painful to watch.
1 AnswerComics & Animation8 years agoWhen is Hollywood gonna stop cranking out ****?
Seriously. First they had to take Meyers' absolutely riveting (bad) story about a girls decision between bestiality and necrophilia.
Now there's a movie about a zombie (i.e; a shambling decomposing corpse) falling in love with some girl and turning human again.
Also the one where the witch does something about 'dark powa' but no because human love interest or something.

1 AnswerMovies8 years agoFry's Great Grandfather?
Ok so most anyone who's ever watched Futurama will know that Fry is his own grandfather, because he went back in time and did the nasty-in-the-pastie with his grandmother.
Which begs the question, If Fry is the father of his father, then who is, or rather, how can Fry's dad have a grandfather, thus making this person Fry's great grandfather?
4 AnswersJokes & Riddles8 years agoCan't watch porn or download large files?
Like a week ago my computer (or rather my internet browser, I don't know.) started doing this rather irritating thing where it wouldn't allow me to use media that uses the adobe flash player, and it also won't let me download large files.
for example, I'm trying to download the Morrowind Sound and Graphic overhaul 3.0, as I want to get back into the game. The file is 1.7gigs. Every single mirror I try to download from, I just get the "huuuur duuuur we're transferring the information from the server" message box along the bottom of the browser (currently using Chrome) and it doesn't do a goddamn thing. EVER.
I tried downgrading Adobe Flash. I tried disabling pop-up blocker. I tried switching browsers. Tried deleting cookies and temporary internet files. Nothing is doing the trick.
Help pls?
3 AnswersOther - Computers8 years agoShould I just join the Marines?
I'm 20 years old, still living at home with my parents, had the same crap job since high school, just got a job at UPS, but they're not giving me any hours... Overweight, no self confidence, no skills, lifeskills or otherwise, I play video games all day and when I'm not working I wake up at the *** crack of noon.
Should I just join the Marines, slay as many of this AWESOME country's foes as I can before I inevitably get kurbstomped, and say I had a swell life?
5 AnswersMilitary8 years agoHow did Baphomet come to be mistaken as Satan?
How did the pagan symbol Baphomet, the winged, goat-headed symbol of Duality, come to be so commonly mistaken as a demon or as Satan himself?
Most modern depictions of Satan are in fact depictions of what began as Baphomet.
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoComputer PSU won't stop making an odd 'grinding' sound?
Lately every once in a while my computer would make a strange 'grinding' kind of noise. Usually it would go away after about 2-3 minutes.
Last night it started really suddenly and wouldn't stop, so I removed the access panel and found that it was the Power Supply fan. I read that this can be a common occurrence from dust buildup, a bug getting up in the fan, a wire getting close to the fan blades, or the fan falling out of the bearing. I disconnected my computer from power and took out the power supply and opened it. I found that there were no loose wires, I dusted the fan off thoroughly, and re-aligned the fan with the case and screwed everything back together as tightly as I could.
When I returned power to my computer it seemed fixed, but after an hour and a half it started again.
Is the fan just going bad? Should I get a new PSU or fan to replace the old one?
Desktops9 years agoIf I ordered a PC game from the UK would I be able to run it on my PC?
I really want to get my hands on a hard copy of the Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition; something only available in the UK, America only has access to a digital version.
I want the hard copy because a) I like having hard copies and b) the hard copy comes with a bunch of neat stuff that you can't get with a digital download.
I got on Ebay and sure enough they're selling copies, but every page has this tag on it:
Product Specifications:
Format PC - PAL (AU, NZ, UK)
I don't understand how this would affect the software running on my machine, as Windows PCs are pretty universal, but could it have some affect on my machine, or be unplayable?
2 AnswersPC9 years agoCan't hear anyone on vent all of a sudden?
Was sitting in a vent channel I've been using for ages talking with my friends when all of a sudden I can't hear anything anyone says. I can see their mics queueing, but no sounds. I didn't change any settings anywhere. Why did this happen?
1 AnswerSoftware9 years agoIn Ventrilo, I can hear all users fine except for one?
Some friends and I use Ventrilo to communicate when we're playing games, and I can hear them all fine except for one. When he ques his mic up to speak all I hear is this 'wind shear' noise. He can hear me fine, I just can't hear him, but I can hear every other person.
1 AnswerOther - Computers9 years agoComputer monitor image flashes on on computer startup, but quickly blacks out?
Lately whenever I start my computer up my monitor will kick on, display an image for maybe a half a second, then it blacks out. The monitor is still on, but I don't see anything. When I turn it off and on it usually does the same thing. After 3 or 4 times of turning the monitor off and on, the image will finally stay on the screen. When I started having this problem I would only usually have to flip the power once. Today though it took me literally 30 tries before the image finally stayed.
Can anyone identify what my problem is?
2 AnswersMonitors9 years agoSkyrim: One handed skill has been lowered 39 points, can't fix.?
My one handed skill level is supposed to be 59.
A while ago I noticed that it had been dropped to 20, with the red text to tell me its a disease or some other ****. Don't know how I would have gotten a disease, because I have 100% disease resist, but whatever, drank a disease potion anyways. Nothing. Drank a poison potion. Nothing. Went to a temple for blessings. Nothing.
What the hell is wrong. If this is one of Bethesda's infamous game breaking bugs I'm gonna be angry.
4 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoCan you teach your followers new spells in Skyrim?
I did the Waking Nightmare quest to get Erandur as a follower, because apparently hes the only follower in the game with his main skill being restoration, and I wanted a healer.
I've noticed he only heals himself when he's being hit, which is rarely, and shoots his bow and casts a fire spell once in a while.
I've boiled down the reason he wont heal me to that he probably doesn't have a targeted healing spell in his spell catalog.
So, if I can find a tome with a targeted healing spell in it, and give it to him, can he learn it?
