Hey blogland forums, today I post this topic to bring to attention a very particular issue with my computer.
No, this does not belong in the PC megathread because as far as I've been told, it's unfixable.
But still, the issue itself freaks me out and is incredibly annoying.
Anyways, every once in a while my computer will start to freeze itself up. A few seconds every few minutes, and then it gets more frequent.
Once a minute. Five times a minute. Until the damn thing is nearly unusable.
But not only is it doing that, it also forgets with the graphics on the screen. The most prevalent example of this is my
cursor.The cursor itself has very erratic behaviour, sometimes it'll change based on what your mouse is over and sometimes it won't.
Don't believe any of this? Well here's the most common permutation of my cursor when typing:
It's cyan, red, and I'm pretty sure it's leaving parts of the pixels themselves
fully unlit. This pattern doesn't change at all, but it does take even more disturbing forms.
For example, the hand cursor.
And some common Paint.NET cursors.
I took those photos with my webcam, as it won't show up when you take an actual screenshot.
Think it couldn't get weirder?
you were wrongSometimes, when you click on something that has that "give this program admin priveledges" popup happen, the screen will flash white with red squares of various intensities literally cascading down the screen.
I've created this picture to show you what it looks like, as I haven't been able to get it on film, my camera has horrible exposure controls.
And they would be sliding down the screen and some of them would flash randomly.
I'm seriously not kidding one bit here, this is freaky stuff.
