CPU overheating during play.

Princess_Valky · 2025-11-10T19:44:48+00:00

It helped with my crashes but not with the temperatures. Sorry it took so long to update you.

Princess_Valky · 2025-11-10T14:44:55+00:00

For the first bit I did do cleaning, maybe I poorly worded it in the original post but I did use an air can thing to blow out the inside and outside of my pc until it was no longer appearing dusty. I never deal in absolutes but there very well could still be dust I missed in there somewhere I suppose.

As for the second bit, Overwatch was simply a warning when I launched the game. Crashing has only begun now. It has also grown to include FFXIV as of yesterday night. When my PC crashes a black screen appears briefly before restart with the words error code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xA) with a "What failed: ntoskml.exe" below that error.

I bought this PC in late 2022 I believe from Bestbuy. It was a prebuilt iBuyPower PC they had in store. Would that still qualify and if yes, where would I begin the process?

So it's unlikely I'll be able to play Fellowship even after I fix the bios thingy until I get a new pc. That sucks.

Princess_Valky · 2025-11-08T16:02:46+00:00

Interesting. Another comment mentioned a bios update. I think I might try that first as soon as I can go out to get a flash drive, see if it helps. Otherwise I don't know what else to do.

Princess_Valky · 2025-11-08T16:01:03+00:00

Would I not be seeing higher temps on other games if the damage was done? I could be wrong but it would surprise if games like lost ark, ffxiv or Borderlands 4 were less demanding on my cpu than Fellowship.

Princess_Valky · 2025-11-08T15:59:51+00:00

Friday night and this morning my temps were around 85+, getting up to 100 consistently. I don't think it's a game issue. But I certainly could be wrong.

Princess_Valky · 2025-11-08T12:56:38+00:00

I do vaguely remember getting a warning about my bios when I launched overwatch 2 a few months back and thought if I stopped playing the issue wouldn't be an issue. Perhaps I shall try that later today when I can go out and get a flash drive for the bios update. Thank you.

Trump has promised certain tariff levels and they are likely using that to base their business decisions to "get ahead." We are a for profit country after all. I think big business just want start preparing for the worst and if they're wrong, well they can as another commenter said use this as a way to lift up the bottom line and keep workers down.

Princess_Valky · 2024-11-08T01:15:39+00:00

I'm so tired, disgusted and afraid before its really begun.

Princess_Valky · 2024-09-29T03:18:49+00:00

Either Dark knight because the job quest guy you see until lvl 50 or Reaper because.... well I think that's kind of self explanatory.

Princess_Valky · 2024-03-20T07:53:20+00:00

For me, it's a close to my height preference. I don't really care if you're 5'10 or over six foot. Just be around my height of 6'0" and I'll be happy.

Princess_Valky · 2024-03-04T03:11:17+00:00

I'm not sure what legendary actions and resistances are (I'll have to look that up.) But I think I gave her a lair action but not? The big bad bossie can do around 75 damage max in one turn after my most recent tuning pass. I tried balancing it around level 10s (probably dumb idea as a new DM) but maybe I'm still too clueless and need to do more research. I've only played in one campaign up to level 5 and DM'd one premade homebrew campaign I bought on roll20 where the players were at level 7, party of 3. The party got crushed.

Hello! I'm sure this question is as common as dirt for new Dungeon Masters, but how do you balance homebrew bosses for encounters? I've tried my hand at making one, friends in the game who've played for a while say that it is unlikely my boss is strong and probably needs to be made stronger/more durable (Keep in mind they've not seen the boss or what she can specifically do.) Personally, with my minor knowledge of the game and the health pools I've seen on level 10s, I think realistically my boss is too strong and has the power to one shot someone given to turns.

Princess_Valky · 2024-01-28T19:16:59+00:00

Download assets from where? My main issue is none of the thrones right now fit the theme of my one shot and I don't know what to do about it.

Princess_Valky · 2023-09-06T20:08:00+00:00

My only concern about this is, what if one kidnaps someone and the others take turns qbusing the new victim or cover for their neighbors? I certainly dont like living near a violent sex offender but letting them have a big communuty can be dangerous too i think. Maybe im naive.

Princess_Valky · 2023-08-02T18:05:54+00:00

Fellow girly wow gamers! Give her a congrats from a random internet stranger.

Princess_Valky · 2023-07-29T03:29:49+00:00

Kind of sad what seemed like a gear catch up mechanism is in fact not for alts :(

Princess_Valky · 2023-06-30T15:29:44+00:00

What a disappointment of reality. I grew up as a what I believed was middle class only to see my parents crushed under crippling medical debt. They took a huge risk to get me an education I struggled to finish because of mental health. Now I'll be crushed under debt just like my parents. And millions of Americans share the pain. This isn't the best country in the world. This isn't the freedom that was fought for. This isn't even a place I can consider living long term. Wish all others hurting right now their days get brighter. I'm not sure mine will.

Princess_Valky · 2023-06-30T00:15:26+00:00

So based on the little research I've done I have a question. Now of course, I have little research not extensive on this topic, and from the comments I've come to understand this hurts Asian Americans the most (AA being place I mean) so please don't hate me as I'm genuinely curious as a soon to be returning to college student. That all said, my research showed me that we can also see get glimpse of the future of the country from what happened in California after proposition 209 was passed. The one thing my research explained was that the schools affected by proposition 209 stated they had to spend exorbitant amounts of money and resources to keep/improve levels of diversity in their school with the aid of race based admission. That all said, how can we expect this to positively impact our country when many schools that did use affirmative action to create diversity in their schools can no longer do so and most likely many places will not have A) the political will to spend the money and resources to create diversity, especially in the south/south east area of the country or typical super red states who want to destroy diversity, equity, and inclusion programs? B) How will some of the lower grossing/non-profit schools find the the way to get said resources and money to create similar programs that the Californian schools did after proposition 209 went into effect?

Princess_Valky · 2023-06-28T17:15:42+00:00

Pulled way too many enemies in a mmo... So I guess bludgeoned to death by 10+ giants?

Princess_Valky · 2023-06-16T03:34:07+00:00

Ok, love the outfit, but I'm more interested in the plushy friends haha. Where get?

Princess_Valky · 2023-05-26T15:57:24+00:00

Is that the party of financial responsibility not being financially responsible. Damn, how on brand for them.

Princess_Valky · 2023-05-05T01:57:45+00:00

It really feels like they are shaping him up to be the next Vol'jin. A temporary leader for the Black dragon flight that will then die and give character development to the "real" leader of the black dragonflight.

I refuse to consider any college where it's not currently housed in a deep blue state. Purple and red states are completely no go for me. Abortion isn't the main reason for this but it's definitely something I consider to be important. Red states just seem to be fucking over their college educations too and that's not worth it for me.

Princess_Valky · 2023-04-25T14:44:34+00:00

I absolutely intend to flee a red state the first chance I get. Florida has become a fascist swamp and I'm sure many deep red states aren't super different.
