My word! I think you may have discovered the most insufferable cunt on the internet!

Best of luck in your future endeavours, Rain!

You created a great thing here, and I'm sure you will continue doing cool stuff into the future.

Front-load her. *cough* I mean a front-loader. Wink

Maybe it's just taking a little while to get to it's ideal working temperature from a cold-boot-up in the morning. Re-check your air-flow and dust situation (and as per my previous post: Bios, Voltages & currents).

Kenny's suggestions are all things worth double-checking.

I would also throw into the mix that this reminds me of a problem I had a few years ago which was due to a corrupt setting in my bios. Basically, the bios setting was causing an incorrect voltage to the graphics card, and the PSU would auto-trip-off. On the second or third auto-power-off the bios was detecting the error and then running correctly (presumably with safe-default-bios-settings or something). But reverting to the incorrect setting after being switched off overnight, causing the same hoopla the next day.

So, to rule out voltage/current issues:
1.) Check that your bios is listing the correct SSD model and GFX card model.
2.) Make sure the bios-battery (if your board has one) is not loose.
3.) Re-flash/upgrade your bios rom.
4.) If your bios rom is already flashed up to date then try resetting the bios to factory default settings.
5.) Make sure the PSU itself isn't clogged with dust.

Failing all of that, take PSU to hardware store/electrician/pal-with-a-volt-meter and get them to check it actually delivers the voltage and current it is rated for. (And if it doesn't, the manufacturer should replace it as faulty hardware.)

As happens to most thirty-somethings during summer, I've been hit with one of those years where everyone you know is either getting married or their grandparents are passing on.

So the last few weeks have been an expensive procession of funerals and weddings, with yet more to attend. I'm really wishing I had taken up the offer of a two-suit deal a tailor offered me last year, because keeping my only suit clean this summer has been a nightmare!

Whenever I get to play anything, it has been The Witcher 3. I played the Hearts of Stone DLC last week. Fucking awesome it was! That stuff inside the painting was really well crafted. The characters in that game are superbly well imagined and realised. In stark contrast, everything Bethesda has put out in the last few years has been over priced drivel with bland story-lines and uncompelling 1 dimensional characters.

Hoping to sink my teeth into the Blood & Wine DLC soon (Pun intended! As I can only assume from the title, it will centre around a vampiric theme?). Apparently that one is a larger (and probably the final) addition to W3. :'(

I can run it just fine in Win7/Win8/Win8.1/Win10.

The only thing I have to remember in anything above Win7 is to be sure that USB headphones are connected and to run as administrator.

One problem I have encountered is trying to run it on Win8.1 without USB headphones. It works fine with them connected, but fails to launch if I haven't plugged them in before launching, or if I try non-usb headpones.

Call of the Rings

Haha! Superb.

I've been saying for years that somebody needs to make an older time period FPS. I wouldn't be surprised if Activision announce a war of independance game really soonish.

This is the first AAA game announcement that has piqued my interest in quite a long while.
