yup after cleaning out my computer it was fine for a week but it completely fried its self :'( :'( :'(
looks like my terragen days are over their is no way i can afford a new rig at todays prices.
i get $45 usd a week average from my part time job at the local pub as i am a full time student still at high school :-[
oh well it looks like im going to start saving in abouts a year time i may have a bare bones to do 800px max renders :(
That really sucks. Do you know what component is actually broken? If it's not the motherboard or CPU then it may not cost too much to fix it.

both :(
Are you sure? Most modern CPUs have temperature safeties that will shut down the system *before* it fries if it gets too hot...
- Oshyan
well it looks pretty black to me :-\
You mean the motherboard is physically blackened? That does sound bad. :o
- Oshyan
mmh im surprised it didnt set on fire stupid power surge >:(
that is bad news WB...I hope it doesn't take too long before you are up and running again.
I am sorry. Your work is always so interesting.
Bad luck man :(
I hope you get it fixed soon.
I've been meaning to ask you for a tutorial on how you do your high contrast scifi images. Its quite an individual technique!!

I am sorry :( I hope you can repair your PC or buy a new one as soon as possible , Wetbanana.
that really is a bad news :(
RIP wetbanana's computer. :(
Please tell it was a joke?
That sucks. May I ask how old was it? Motherboards typically have atleast 1 year warranty. Some more expensive motherboards have 2-3 years. CPUs tend to have 3 year warranty too.
Edited: Messy post
nope it ain't no april fools i wish it was :( and the warrenty on my pc ran out a year ago
Sorry, Where will be the funeral???? What are the deceased's favorite flowers??
What's your plan? We can't live without your TG2 images. Quick.
I know it's difficult to go through this. Make sure it isn't your power supply or connected to the power supply issues. Then, please let us know what you are going to do.
Sorry for the joke but you'll see, at the end you'll get through this with a better system. It has happened to me the end of last year and I now have a way better PC!!!
What do u mean by warranty ran out 1 year ago? The whole computer's warranty or all individual components? Because the warranty for the whole computer is different from the individual components, atleast if it is a pre-built system like most computers are. You can still have few years left on the CPU even if the computer warranty ran out.
The store that sold the computer might have 1 year warranty for the whole package but manufacturer of the individual components might still have few years left..
the manufacture computer warranty
