Title: Computer Problems - In the process of being resolved.
Post by: ??. McBullet on June 26, 2011, 12:21:41 AM: Having serious issues with my CPU and motherboard. Any CPU-intensive application (includes Gmod) causes me to BSOD, so I'm not going to be able to get on HL2RP until I can get the problem fixed. I can still handle the UCA OOCly, but don't expect me on SeC.602 until I can afford a new motherboard and RAM or play on a friend's computer. The motherboard is $55 USD and the RAM is about $50 USD. Feel free to help me out with the costs.

Edit: I'm trying to avoid having to buy all of this stuff. I may be able to get some spare parts from my uncle. He's at a family reunion so he can't do it now. I should expect them within the next few weeks. The chance of being able to fix the issue is almost ZERO, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Edit Two: Yankee will be the Acting SeC.... until I can get back on GMOD.

EDIT THREE :D....... I borrowed some money and got a new (extremely cheap but great reviews) mobo and RAM. I'll shoot for the end of this week to be back online. I'm typing this from my laptop.

Oh dear lord here let me just ship you my dads old computer. Nah lol

But yeah try what RTLK said cause i doubt its a problem with the hardware unless its what happen to me and it was a bad sata cord causing my computer to lockup and bluescreen. When you bluescreen copy the error code.

Your CPU is not the issue. What is cooling your CPU is the issue, this sounds like a overheating. Also, what does RAM have to do with this?
