Really need to get a replacement, this new one is just falling apart.
Also, Hey I'm not dead! Managed to get the PC sorted out so it's all working again. I wanted to celebrate by getting something done. So took a dive, saw a sketch from ages ago that was decent and went in to doll it up. There's more on the way but that's taking it's sweet time and I wanted to get something done quickly for the mean time.
OK so about the computer.
After a two days of it with a friend and it showing no signs of having a issue I got it home and it started hard powering off again. A extra day worth of being on the phone with him and doing tests later. We manged to work out it was the interaction between the power supply and one of the hard drives that was causing the issue. The hard drive would spin up for a task and that would flip the power supply off. It was also starting to smell like hot plastic which is very much not a good sign.
So managed to snag a decent new power supply, installed it myself (a terrifying first for me) and so far everything has been working good. So that mixed with how the rest of this month has been, it's been a real busy one sorry to say. :'v
