Welcome, if you're still here! I think you should know today is the first time I've rebooted my computer this month. I would not have done so if I hadn't awoken this morning and found it hardlocked. I was sad and may have soiled my diaper a bit- more with a pudding than with chunks. I'm not saying there is anything you should do with this information, but you have indeed been informed. And as they say, "Knowing is half the battle, GI Joe!"

Hmmm, If I had to guess, it locked up from one of several possible causes:

It ran over a month straight without a reboot.
It only has 512 megs of ram right now.
Firefox has been acting wonky lately and has been giving me that 'this is embarrassing' message.
Flock was running on the fourth monitor and had the 'this is embarrassing' message this morning.
The operating system is damaged has not be reloaded in a year and half.
My two side monitors run on a card that gets artifacting occasionally(and any attempt to run video results in spontaneous reboot).
Wait I just now discovered the most likely culprit! My main video card has like a half pound copper heat sink and I see right now the fan is not turning! Scary- I wonder how long that has been going on or not going- whatever!

**Edit- That crisis has been resolved by jamming the case fan I wasn't using under the one that is kacked! Gaze upon the magnificence!
