Possibly important... thing.
Added 2022-03-21 07:54:10 +0000 UTCSo I was just working on the monthly pic, and my laptop, with no warning, froze and started loudly buzzing. so um.
If I suddenly vanish for like a few months (well, I guess I have my phone...), assume that my laptop died out of nowhere.
I really don't know what happened, or why.
But I took the back off and cleaned it, and... seems to be working again... so.
Yeah... things keep happening that need to stop happening.

Honestly it could have just needed a cleaning - was it full of dust? My mate's PC used to freeze a LOT like that (no warning, just locked up), and it turned out to just be overheating. Good luck either way! :3

2022-03-31 22:35:56 +0000 UTCI see... will maybe try to stream again next week. Although there were no error messages. Just... nothing. Everything froze in place and stopped responding altogether. I thiiiiiink the buzzing was the fans with a hair or something caught in it..? It's worked normally so far, after I took the back off and cleaned it

In fact, it's almost maybe a good idea TO try streaming again, because if it happens again, you can narrow the cause down to be something with that, and you can be prepared to snap a pic of the error message to figure out exactly what crashed. :)

2022-03-25 14:25:18 +0000 UTCIt means Blue Screen of Death - if you happen to see one, make sure to grab a photo of the error message so you can Google it or ask for help later. Newer versions of Windows even have a QR code you can scan when it crashes. Was the buzzing coming from a speaker or the computer itself? If it was from the speaker, that's not uncommon, especially if it was playing sounds when the PC crashed, or even an alert sound right as it happened.

2022-03-23 22:34:03 +0000 UTCI... don't know what that means ><;;; Although there was no error message; everything just stopped working, and something started buzzing... It seems to be... okay, since I took the back off and cleaned it; though I'm slightly afraid to try streaming again, because that's when this happened.

2022-03-22 03:19:41 +0000 UTCOh my gosh! D: Sounds like probably a kernel panic (BSoD) kinda crash, if it happens again make sure to take a picture of the error message, or you can find it in Event Viewer after booting again. Good luck!!
