All day, my mind has been filled with emotions (and none of them were happy or joyful). Because now I have a new more serious threat (that is likely not as easily to fix..as it also affects the first issue).
\n12:30pm, I was going to run the ‘Blended’ test for two hours. Tried to turn my computer on, and it turned itself back off within half a second. Tried it again, and I started to hear “*beep*…*beep*…*beep*…*beep*…*beep*(like, two beeps a second, then turned itself off again). Sometimes it was two beeps until it turned off. My fear went through the roof, trying to figure out what the hell did I do to deserve this.
\nAfter the forth time, I heard ten of these beeps..but thankfully my computer went through POST and booted normally. Then I had another issue where Discord and Skype acted like I wasn’t connected to the internet(which I clearly was). Firefox works fine. Did a speedtest to prove I had a connection, and I believe this is what finally made the two connect properly.
\nSo, first I have temporarily fixed the overheating issue, and now I have an issue with CMOS (according to the person I spoke to yesterday). Apparently, the motherboard doesn’t like the settings made for the CPU to work properly.<\/p>\n
The ‘Blended’ test, passed with flying colors. The temp stayed in the 50’s(with the highest being around 56-57). That’s great. But with this new fear, I cannot celebrate…as I’m forced to undo the changes I made to the CPU(to get it to this point), just to get my motherboard not to bitch at me.
\nA restart works just fine. It’s only when I completely shut it down and restart is when I have the computer shutting itself back down.<\/p>\n
Talked it over with the person, and he suggested I try this thing<\/a> (after resetting BIOS back to its factory defaults). This thing is basically BIOS, but in Windows. I can set the clock speed and everything. The only thing I can’t do (with this program) is disable ‘cool and quiet’ and all of this other stuff. I can disable the turbo boost, but that’s it. Because of this, the person is out of ideas for me. All he suggests is maybe I downgrade to the 8350, and then RMA the 9590. I feel I should downgrade to my old 4350 and RMA the 9590 (as I will be stuck with it for the rest of my life). . I keep hoping everything will stay the same, so I can just ignore real life. But I know I cannot ignore it forever (as life truly does suck).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All day, my mind has been filled with emotions (and none of them were happy or joyful).

\nThough I feel, why even bother? If I reset it, and then set it back…the problem will come back. And you know what this means? Hours upon hours of literally doing what someone who has made their own modpack in Minecraft (and they’re having an issue with a particular mod that’s affecting the entire thing) has to do; install one mod at a time. In my case, I have to set a setting, check to see if that setting is “OK” with my motherboard, and then run a heat test to see if I can solve both issues.
\nAnd this, is NOT fucking worth the effort! I shouldn’t even be having to go through all of this hell.<\/p>\n
\nThough I feel my best option is to go to Linus Tech Tips and ask in their forum, of what should be my next move. Clearly I need advanced help to give me an answer(hopefully one I can stomach).<\/p>\n
\nOn top of that, and when I feel like the entire world is against me, I’m brought back down to reality of something that is beyond my control. I often forget of one important rule; “it could always be worse.” I often push real life aside, feeling it’s not really that important to me. But sometimes, I’m forced to stop ignoring it and listen.
\nAnd what my mother told me, is one of those times. My father tried to commit suicide the day before he took me up to get this latest hardware installed. He’s hurting all over, yet refuses to go up to the doctor. And now my mother and I will have to go on ‘suicide watch’ to make sure he doesn’t do the unthinkable. He’s also not wanting to eat or drink, so he’s trying to starve himself to death.
\nThis is just<\/u> great. Here I felt what I<\/em> was going through was pretty bad, and now I have this far more important thing to think about. There are truly more important things to worry about, than a stupid CPU that won’t play nice with me.
\nThis…this CPU means nothing compared to keeping my parents alive, as I depend on them greatly (especially my father).<\/p>\n
