I've been crashing alot when 2-boxing the last couple of weeks. Between my dinosaur computer seizing up and ResetDeviceFailure()! errors I'm now hesitant to log in. My toons have died several times on lock-ups/errors right after pulling thanks to this and I'm getting tired of paying the plat to summon two corpses, spending time rezzing, rebuffing, and medding, then paying to port back out. It wouldn't be so frustrated if it wasn't so bloody random. I can be on for hours at a time, zoning and doing all sorts of stuff and even leave both instances open overnight in the bazaar. However at rather random times (usually when moving about) the machine seizes up. Everything becomes unresponsive, the hard drive is slammed with access requests and the temperature spikes. It's still well within the hardware's temperature limits but the system doesn't recover from these episodes and I am forced to manually shut the machine down.
I know my PSU needs to be replaced, at a minimum. The voltage rating on it is lower then I like. I've been very thorough about checking for malicious software and keeping the OS up to date. I guess it's time to get a job and pony up for a new rig.
However it's not all bad news. This past monday was my birthday (hurray I'm a year closer to 30 now :P) and I spent all day sitting in Mons Letalis murdering thought leeches. I took over the camp from a beastlord who said they were there six hours with no sign of the fabled fiery thought leech. It took nine hours - yes you read that right, I sat there for NINE FUCKING HOURS - before he spawned and of course it was when I had gated the cleric back to the lobby to sell. Everything turned out alright, however. The sk jumped up and engaged him while I ran the cleric through Marus Seru and back to camp. Even with the fabled and all the adds in the room beating on her my sk was only down to 50% by the time the cavalry arrived.
Why all this hooplah? What could possibly be worth it? Well the fabled fiery thought leech drops one of the best AC augs in the game: The Fabled Fire Idol. It could be worse, I could be trying to camp Valdanov. /shudder. Weeks on end in Sunderock with no sign of the Steamvent Ruby is enough for me.
Slowly but surely my shadowknight is limping her way out of total gimpitude into only partial gimpiness. The little cleric isn't doing too bad either these days. She still takes hits like wet tissue paper.
