I knew this would happen at some point, just not now. To be honest I’m not sure what part of my computer is causing it, but I’m getting these screen refreshes every 5-10 minutes, the screen goes black and then returns at some point. It started happening when I played the Modern Warfare 2 free weekend, but it’s appearing more frequent in my other games. It’s the infamous nvlddmkm error, one that some of you may have experienced. The problem with this error is that it’s vague, it’s not a simple error to diagnose as it can apply to RAM, Graphics Card, a Third Party Device, or a feature that seems to be conflicting with it. Either way I’m going to have to do some research, until then I wouldn’t expect very many updates.
If this means getting a new graphics card, I’m probably willing to do so, when I have money.
EDIT: On further Speculation, I opened my case during reno and let the computer run for three hours, I have discovered that my fan makes weird noises depending on where it is positioned, and the graphics card is hotter than hell. It looks to be an overheating issue. Sadface.
My PC is nearly out of commission

Well at least I have my trusty Xbox.. sigh.
