It means that they will try to find parts that are exactly like what I got, to see if it&#8217;s a faulty whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Angry&#8217;s still trying to convince me to wait, claiming that I will be &#8220;guaranteed&#8221; that my games will work if I get a new system&#8230; by the end of this year. Oh how little he remembers that even if I get a new system, there&#8217;s a chance this thing could be a software-related issue.<br \/>\nAnd by putting my stuff back on there, it might just fuck up again.<\/p>\n<p>Plus it&#8217;s not going to fucking cost $300! Hell. I could&#8217;ve done it this month. If what I&#8217;m thinking is true I&#8217;m just going to pay for them to work on it. The only thing I <strong>may<\/strong> have to pay more for is if they find something that is causing it, that&#8217;s past it&#8217;s warrenty. But all of my hardware isn&#8217;t even a fucking year old!<br \/>\nThe only old shit in it, is my floppy drive, and the case itself. I find it next to impossible that it&#8217;s my floppy, which I use very rarely. As for my case, the lock up isn&#8217;t an overheating issue. So my case has good cooling. Especially with this new 650W PSU with the fan inside the case instead of on the back.<\/p>\n<p>If they find nothing wrong with my hardware, I&#8217;ll be happy, but at the same time sick because it&#8217;s guaranteed it&#8217;s a software issue. But I say it&#8217;s either the RAM or my Video Card, and I&#8217;m leaning more to my Video Card. Fallout 3 may&#8217;ve caused my lock up issue, because it&#8217;s the first game to lock up.<br \/>\nWith the fact I got the game before it was patched, and the fact alot of people where also having problems with it crashing or locking up, it&#8217;s a possibility.<br \/>\nFallout 3 may&#8217;ve caused my Video Card to overload. But then again this was when I had my 9400GT. Now with my 9500GT, the locking up is worse. That just doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In one week I&#8217;ll have the money to go up to the guy that built my computer and have him swap parts to see what&#8217;s locking my system up in games.
