Hi all 
My computer is just about dead, I think the Hard Disc is failing D:
For the past few months (aka since March) I've had massive lag in all my games, getting worse and worse. At first I thought it was RAM, Which I replaced and doubled. Still problems.
Then I thought it was my PSU overheating. Placed it and doubled it again. Still problems.
And on Sunday, my computer got its first BSOD since I rebooted it about 2 years ago. I thought it was a one off, until this afternoon when I got a 2nd. Then followed by a third later, this time, my computer fully shut off. When I tried to restart it, it couldnt connect to the boot device. After saying '**** this' and turning off the power, I switched it back on, only for it to get stuck at the first boot up screen. I gave up.
After playing on my 360 for about 15 minutes I came back down and gave it another go infront of my dad. Suddenly it worked! I was happy as ****ing happy gets.
Noticing my computer is no longer healthy in anyway, I promise to myself that I will not go on another game until the problem is repaired. My dad is phoning a tech dood as I type.
This also means all my machinima and map work will be pushed back, as well as maybe missing the release of the New Portal Mappack thing.
I'm very sad face now
