Hi Folks.
I feel I am ok, to finally get round to putting Timothy's replacement Graphics Card into his Computer.
It's not brand new, as Timothy would have done it, but it's the best we could afford and we have up least upgraded his Graphics Card for him.
I hope he will be pleased with it when he comes home for a visit...
I really must get the decorating finished in the living room, so I can get rid of all this mess!
Michael is on Holiday once again, so we got together to install Timothy's Graphics Card, as it will be him, who I will leave to get it all installed in Winjows (Yes I hate it that much!).
This time tho, we just slide the monitor to one side and pull Timothy's Base unit towards the front of the table....
Out comes The Faulty Graphics Card and we discuss the state of the inside of Timothy's Computer.
And we agree that in January it will be pulled to bits and given a real good cleaning! (pencilled in for 3rd Jan 2023)
In goes the replacement Card we have brought and a hunt round as the wires to graphics card are different, we eventually find what we need and close up the case.
And switch on and wait to see what happen's....
that's a good start, so I leave Michael to it, some 2 hours later and he is still trying to get the correct drivers installed, latest up date the C:\ drive is full!!
So he is busy trying to find out whats filling it up, as all the games are installed on the 2nd harddrive.
So it looks as if it will be ok.
Timothy's old card will be on eBay for Saturday with the new fans and will start at what the fans cost us.....
That means we now have Michael's old Graphics card ready for me to build up Lynne's Computer, using some of his old parts.
So I now need to clear my old recliner chair to the side of me, so we can get the table in it's place and give me a place to build Lynne's Computer.
On the table will also be printer that will be connected to both pc's hopefully.
I do have exactly the same printer but with wifi onboard, but want to wait until this computer finally packs up, before using the new one.
As the old printer we are using is not worth anything, may as well keep using it.
