thedarkprojectLast Friday was the six month anniversary of my computer's graphics being broken. Grrrrr. I tried out the ATi card that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rlucas666 lent me but the problem is just as apparent, if not slightly more so. The motherboard is most comprehensively fucked. I'm currently waiting to see if ASUS reply to my technical support request with anything resembling a useful response, and hopefully should know that within a day or two. Looks like I'll be buying yet another motherboard soon, though. And I'm really not looking forward to having to reinstall all the updates for Windows. :(
While I'm on the topic of fixing computers, does anybody know of a tool that'll quickly diagnose what's being run at startup and so on? For some reason it now lingers on the 'Welcome' screen for about 4 seconds when I boot up when it never used to, and although 4 seconds is no hardship I'd like to know why it's doing it.
