Procrastination is next to Cleanliness

Some people clean their rooms, houses, garden, whatever to just not get around to doing the task at hand. I just don't do it. I know I have to study for accounting, but not now. There's still 9 good hours in the day where I can do that, so I'll just wait a while, relax, update my blog, the usual.

Recently I just received my computer back from the technical guys who, after 3 weeks, finally fixed what was wrong.
I first noticed something was wrong long ago when, while playing Neverwinter Nights 2, polygons decided to start drawing themselves everywhere.
So in a clever fashion I opened up the PC and decided to bash around. Everything looked fine so I went to my next most credible resource, the internet.
I googled "gfx prob NWN2 weird shape thingies geforce 7900gt need 1337 help". After narrowing my keywords slightly I found a sight telling me about the wonders of keeping your card cool.
I downloaded a nVidia utility that would tell me how hot my card was.
IT WAS HOT! Anyway, I told you all this earlier. Eventually I did get a cooler and it dropped nicely down to around 50 degrees celsius.

But this didn't solve my problem as about 2 months ago Warcraft III, a game made ages before NWN or Crysis or any others that used near the intense graphics that I believed overheated my card, started flickering between the picture on screen and black.
This was very worrying and eventually I was left with a completely frozen screen and all I could hear was Matthew Bellamy singing from windows media player in the background.
So I restarted my PC and ran my nVidia utility, with it taking logs of the temperature. I opened up Warcraft and it didn't get past the main menu before it was frozen.
Rebooting and opening the log I saw that there was no abnormal temperature. Heading off to the kitchen, I found the screwdriver.
When I had opened the case, inspected the card, sighed, and saw nothing wrong I put the card back in, closed the case and switched on my PC's power.
Nothing.
The screen was black and only the PC was whirring. The disk drives opened, but it didn't get further than that.

I decided the graphics card had exploded or something and decided I needed a new one. After a few phone calls I had a GeForce 8600GTS waiting to be delivered.
A good 12 days later it came. Plugging it in and pressing the power button, nothing happened.
This was really annoying me so I gave up and sent it in the professionals, the same ones that took 12 days to get a card. Another good few days and I had my PC back, with a new motherboard, and formatted. Why they had to format the hard disk I don't know, but at least I had my PC back.

And after all this I have even less of a desire to study. Life's good....
