What to look for. I didn&#8217;t understand one damn thing on that page.<br \/>\nHe looked at them and said that these pages are outdated. So I asked him &#8220;Where do I go to look around&#8221;, and he acts like he&#8217;s tired of me asking questions, and wants me to make my own decisions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Now if I saw somebody else doing this, I would probably say to him; &#8220;It&#8217;s not that hard. Just look around in Google for something&#8221;&#8230; yet, this is happening to <strong>me<\/strong>. I cannot make these decisions. I fail at making decisions! The only good decisions I ever made was in games. Never hardware.<br \/>\nI wouldn&#8217;t know the first damn thing to look for, let alone know how much I&#8217;m willing to spend for it. I would also have to know how old it is, and&#8230; god damn what the fuck did I get myself into?!?!<\/p>\n<p>I WISH I NEVER GOT MY HARDWARE UPGRADED!!! Then I wouldn&#8217;t be in this fucking mess!! Even the graphic glitching wasn&#8217;t as bad as this lock up issue! With the graphic glitching, all I had to do was just, minimize, and maximize it. And it&#8217;s fixed!<br \/>\nThis&#8230; this can&#8217;t be temp fixed.. or any kind of fixed. Infact, it&#8217;ll never BE fixed!!!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So why not just save up to get a new computer?&#8221;. It&#8217;s not as easy as it sounds. No one cares how much suffering I&#8217;m going though, not being able to play my games, without fear of it locking up on me. And I have to go through this, day after day, month after month.<br \/>\nAnd getting a hobby is out of the question! So is getting a job.<br \/>\nDo you know how long it&#8217;s been since I played WoW? I&#8217;ve even tried to convince myself of the progress I&#8217;ve made, with this lock up issue. How I didn&#8217;t let it stop me. And now I am, and I don&#8217;t know why.<\/p>\n<p>*deep sigh* All I can do is wait &#8217;till tomorrow, and call &#8220;Bob&#8221; (I call him that instead of &#8216;the guy that built my computer&#8217;) and ask him, how come he hasn&#8217;t responded to my emails. And I gotta do this in a nice way too.<br \/>\n&#8220;Bob&#8221; is the only hope I got now. If he can&#8217;t help me&#8230; I&#8217;m SOL(Shit Outa Luck). But I&#8217;m pretty sure he can. Maybe he forgot that I did send them.<\/p>\n<p>And I do have another option. Not a good one, but an option nonetheless. Asking Facepunch on how can I compare hardware that would be dumbed down to my low IQ (90-92 is my IQ) so I can understand it and make my own decisions.<br \/>\nEven if it was to get a book called &#8220;Hardware Comparing for Dummies&#8221;, I&#8217;d read it.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the main thing is I keep thinking what caused this damn thing to happen in the first place, instead of looking into the future and finding something that not only would fix my issue, but I would keep for a long time.<br \/>\nI keep thinking the only reason I&#8217;m buying this shit is to fix my issue. When it&#8217;s much more than that. It can also be to get better graphics. Faster gameplay. And a more reliable system.<br \/>\nAt least replacing my Video Card will definitely fix one issue. It will allow me to dual-client again in WoW.<\/p>\n<p>And the only reason I&#8217;m replacing my PSU is to get a respectable name brand one, like Enermax, or Antec.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*sigh* I saw gop on today, and asked him about this thing I saw on [H]ard|Forum.com about picking out the PSU for you.
