I am officially having a bad day.
In the past 24 hrs the following has happened:
- My 3 moth old Gainward 6600GT graphic card has fried itself to death playing Battlefield2.
- My Seagate 80Gb S-ATA hard-disk failed while I was out buying milk.
- My cat decided she needed more leg room while lounging next to my keyboard and so kicked my scanner off the desk and onto the floor, thus breaking the glass and twisting the body.
So, through acts of God and vindictive felines I’m down about 3000 SEK in hardware.
The scanners knackered, the hard disk is out of warranty but hopefully I can get a replacement graphic card from the company that supplied it to me.
And before you ask, I don’t know why the card and hard-disk failed in the same day. My rig is pulling 350W max and my PSU is rated for 450W and running fine. Nothing is overclocked, case temp is fine and its got more fans than The Beatles. Jesus just hates me.

I told you that cat is bad.
Dang Jed, Lightning struck 3 times… You should be dead but you are still here! I always tell myself what doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger. heh
Tomorrow can’t be any worse can it?
Jesus has never hated you, but I’d wonder about your cat. 😀
🙁 awww that freaking sucks
Three bad ones in a row 🙁
It’s only only up and onward from there mate 🙂
Jed m8 your lucky your Gainward card was _in_ warranty! My GF4 Ti-4600 went tits up and it just went out of warrenty then bang… £350 down the drain! Having to use a GF2 since, So think of it this way…it _could_ have been worse 😉
Good Luck

OMG! Bro. I am having an equal shittier day. I feel for you and for some reason everyone I interact with is having the same problems. Not cause of me but it’s just happening.
My video card is acting like shit cause it’s ATI and ati’s support is not helpfull at all. Then my PSU started smoking and to make matters worse that’s the second PC in my home that has done that this week.
I went to TacoBell and they burnt my grilled stuffed burrito to hell but didn’t find out until I got home and on the way home my car stereo stopped working after it was turing itself on and off saying, “Hello”,”Seeyou”,Hello seeyou I FEEL YA!
You know, The Beatles had alot of fans. :/
You wouldn’t, by any chance, be exaggerating a tad mate?
j/k mate. You really were having a shitty day.
Now, let’s go for a beer!
Damn, that’s not a good job of your cat! heh
Keep it up Neil!
Sorry to hear Jed. I’d sell the cat and buy a new graphics card. 🙂
