Hmm... reseating graphics card did not in fact fix my crashing problem.
 
What kind of crashing problem? After long runs?
 
@fredley There's a category where the clues don't help.
@KevinvanderVelden Soon as I start up a game.
Except for Big Pharma apparently.
 
Other 2d games? Try starting openttd
 
I used it to test last night and it worked fine. Launched WoW this morning and it died-ed.
 
Also, crash as in game crash, blue screen, pc reset?
 
2:11 PM
@KevinvanderVelden As in skip the blue screen, straight to PC reset.
 
What's your PSU?
 
I have never heard of that brand, and it seems google hasn't either, I'd wager a guess at that being the problem
Try a few other 2D games vs some new-ish 3D games
It sounds like a browning out issue due to the PSU performance degrading
Well, from what few bits of information I have available here =p
 
Unless you jam very specific wires into the right bits that won't test it browning out at load
 
2:19 PM
It is a quick trick to figuring out if it'll turn on though
 
Mhhh, was it afterburner?
@TimStone he's currently using it =p
So we know it turns on
(or well if not currently then at least to do other games)
 
Yeah, I just meant generally :P
 
Anyway, afterburner can show a GPU voltage graph
I think
googles yes it can
Try that, that might give you some more information

Q: What does eating and drinking do?

RamirezI recently started playing Watch_Dogs 2 and have been enjoying the game a lot. I have been wondering though, during my exploration of San Francisco I have noticed food and drink icons while I have been driving around hacking the planet. I went on in to check out what was there and I was able to d...

 
2:38 PM
I'll give it a go when I get home after work.
 
2:54 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Actually, given how old it is and how not-brand name it is, I might just go ahead and replace it and see if that fixes anything.
If not, I'll have a nice PSU and just build a new set-up from there.
I already have a fancy graphics card that I currently can't use because it doesn't fit in my rig.
Actually actually, if I'm going to get a new PSU, I might as well just build a new rig.
 
3:15 PM
AAAAAAAAAAAAH. @Mana is was glaring at me.
 
Augh, now you're making him glare at me!
Whew.
Although now @Mana's focusing rather intently on @Uni's butt.
 
On my screen @uni fled to the right and went into hiding behind @GodEmperorDune. @KevinvanderVelden is currently getting an angry @Mana glare.
 
Keep talking and nobody gets stared at
 
I just want to be behind the glare
"The good side" so to speak

Q: Is it still possible to hatch Electabuzz, Jynx, Pikachu and Magmar?

IsukaSince a recent update, it is possible to hatch Pichu, Togepi, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Magby, Smoochum and Elekid from eggs. But since that update, I have never seen any Electabuzz, Jynx, Magmar and Pikachu hatch from my eggs, while it was the case before this update. Is it still possible to hatch one...

@badp probably costs as much as a car
 
@Yuuki Sorry, I must have skipped over that bit...
 
@fredley ... I don't get Tiana.
 
@Yuuki That you tried is amusing to me.
 
Seriously, everyone's talking about how Merida is Scottish and not Irish but my main concern is what spinach leaves have to do with Tiana.
 
4:13 PM
@Yuuki She has a green dress?
I mean, this is bottom-tier shitposting. You're going to have to make some mental leaps.
 
@fredley Well, my leap was green -> frog.
 
@TimStone wtf is wrong with that person.
@Yuuki ur a leaping frog.
 
@TimStone ... what on earth is "virtue signaling"?
 
@TimStone wait tracer thingy is canon now?
 
@arda That she's gay? Yeah.

@MBraedley What?
 
@fredley why is there a STAR TREK ship for a STAR WARS princess?
 
@BlueBarren I haven't read the article because I'm at work, so I don't know what it says.
 
@TimStone hue
 
@GodEmperorDune The same reason why there's Irish Cream for a Scottish princess.
 
4:21 PM
@GodEmperorDune For the same reason the IMAX attendant said "Live long and prosper" before Rogue One. It makes some people's heads explode.

Q: Locate a game: sliding tile (15 puzzle), with animated tiles, and music

richardI used to play a game, it was a 15 puzzle (sliding tile) game.

The tiles did not have the normal static picture, but an animation. The ani...

 
I should go watch Moana again. La La Land's soundtrack is getting too stuck in my head.

Dear Stack, let me cash in my hats for some kind of hat currency.

Absolutely nothing.

@MBraedley Because the pain is how you feel alive?

Hmm.
I installed Afterburner and while the GPU did rise in temp, I attribute that to the fact that I started up a game and not really anything to do with the crashing.

7:20 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Does power supply sound like a likely cause? I'm not sure what else it could be. Maybe graphics driver?
 
Did you test with other games?
 
I didn't have time to install OpenTTD, but it's crashed on WoW, Overwatch, The Forest, and Earthlock.
Earthlock can run a bit longer than the others, but WoW crashes really quickly after launch.

7:46 PM
@Yuuki where's the beginning post of this issue? Or alternatively, what's the issue?
 
@Chippies Put pretty much what I know in a pastebin: pastebin.com/V4g98mca
 
@Yuuki well, the fact that it works in safe mode, pretty much narrows it down to the issue being related to GPU, as I'm fairly certain that safe mode runs graphics in software mode
is the gpu a new addition for you or have you had it for a while and the problem started occurring recently?
 
@Chippies I've had it for awhile and it's been recent.
 
when it goes black screen, does the sound lock up as well or is it just the image?
 
@Chippies It's as if it instantly turns off, no repeating sound or anything.
Just dies and restarts.
Oh, I also tried going back to a restore point on 12/31, also did not work.
 
7:53 PM
have you checked the windows event logs?
might give you some hints to what's going on
 
I think I'm going to take a look at the Reliability Monitor when I get home.
 
your power supply should have plenty of juice to run the gpu, unless it's actually garbage quality and is literally dying
have you tried completely uninstalling the gpu driver and installing an older version?

Q: Game crashing constantly

WVfallshelt0playerI really need help my game keeps on crashing after an hour or five minutes. It is crashing sometimes when I'm getting attacked or have a fire And its been happening since last update. Other than that it will just turn the screen black and goes to the home screen on my IPad.

 
@BlueBarren Nonsense
 
@KevinvanderVelden Do you think it could be something wrong with the mobo?
 
@Yuuki did you check the voltage display? =p
 
I'm just kinda spitballing stuff here since I'm at work so I have a bunch of possibilities to test/look for when I get home.
 
8:51 PM
It can be the mobo, but I doubt it, I'd first blame the PSU
 
@ʀᴇᴛʀᴏsᴀᴜʀ Hi Retrosaur
 
Should I go ahead and pick one up (there's a parts store on the way home) or test first?
I'm figuring that I might pick one up anyways since my rig is way overdue for an upgrade.
 
@Yuuki how old is the PSU? If it's a noname one that's kinda old then yeah I'd go for it
 
@KevinvanderVelden I have no idea how old the model is, but I've had it for over... I wanna say it's been 5-6+ years.
 
Yeaah, 5-6+ years is a good age for a brand PSU

(I'm cautious with PSUs, because while other parts have the fail mode of "death to $thing", PSUs have the fail mode "DEATH TO EVERYTHING")
 
@KevinvanderVelden "Good age" as in "it should still be good" or "holy f--k, how has this thing avoided senior housing"?
 
@Yuuki the latter
Though more a "Good age to replace it" and not a "Why haven't you replaced this yet?"
 
Also, 5-6+ years is a conservative estimate. It is possibly older.
I built this rig right around the summer of my senior year and I graduated high school in 2009.
It could possibly be 8 years old.

usually one of the daily bounties involves an expensive item to access, so it's tough to even hit all 3 every day
