I can only think of one case ever in many years of history where there has even been the slightest chance that a driver update would help an overheating problem in a computer. And that was initially CAUSED by a driver update in the first place.
Main issues are likely potentially higher ambient temperatures and cramped space as you say. If it's a laptop...well I'm not a fan of those and a lot of manufacturers (Apple is particularly notorious) don't put sufficient cooling in them, so they run at higher temperatures than are normally recommended.
If it's a tower/box you're pretty much spot on about the space. If it's in a computer desk or surrounded by too much stuff it might not be getting enough fresh air and/or may not be venting the hot air properly. If it's not that a fan may not be functioning as it should or there may be dust built up somewhere blocking air.
I went on the worst date I've ever been on last night. The girl invites me out to a bar, so I assume she'll be there within the 45 minutes it's going to take me to get there. Instead, I get there and I wait another 45 minutes for her to show up. Turns out she brought a co-worker. She then proceeded to not talk the whole night, except for the occasional "I really want to dance". When I try to get her to dance, she just clams up and starts slumping in her seat. I decided to just leave early. I've never been more bored around other people in my life.
That article confuses me. It was written in 2010, but said the squirrel was rescued in 1978. Considering a squirrel lives about six years, it must be immortal.
This morning I had class at 11, so I got ready to leave when I realized I couldn't find my keys. There's a quiz at the beginning of each class, so I was frantically looking for it and couldn't find it for 20 minutes. I was all pissed off because I was going to be late to class and miss the quiz, and then on the way there I tripped and stubbed my toe. It started bleeding. Not only did I miss my quiz, but now my flipflop is going to be sticking to my toe all day. Hrmph.
Is anyone else from the OB currently in college anymore? I can't keep track of how many people have graduated and how many more people are still in high school. In any case... boo finals.
Good lord. Am I old yet? I think I'm getting to that point. I no longer have the glowing charm of a young, barely legal teenage girl that I used to have.
It was probably the cigarettes that did me in. Or the countless number of all-nighters I've pulled throughout my college career due to chronic procrastination (and other factors caused by general lack of motivation). Maybe because I'm not a barely legal teen anymore... Or maybe because I'm getting fatter than I used to be!
I was set to help with a big install job for my parent's business today. We only got 1 awning up since one guy fell off the 3rd story balcony they were working on. He's in pretty good shape considering. We were across the street from a hospital and were were in there talking to him not even 2 hours after and I'd say he'll probably be able to leave there on his own two feet eventually.
If you want to shape your hair with hair clippers, make sure you have a fucking steady hand, or someone to help. Otherwise you will be forced to make yourself a skinhead. Which I now am

Just in time for Christmas Maybe someone will get you a toupee.

I am! I graduate IN MARCH, so some epic finals are coming my way. But I'm already looking around for some cool Masters programs outside of Ecuador so I can drag out my university years and keep complaining about finals.
WHAT THE FUCK IS SO HARD ABOUT DOING PAPERWORK! So, I got my new car in June. At the dealership, the car dealer faxed my bill of sale to my insurance company and procured an insurance card for my new vehicle. I went to the insurance company with my new car to confirm that everything was copacetic and so they could take pictures for collision (because they did for my last car). They said everything was good and they didn't need pictures because it was a brand new car. Cool.
Come mid-July, I get a call from the bank who has my loan telling me that they never received proof of insurance and they were going to charge me $1000 to insure it themselves if they didn't get it. I went to my insurance company and they faxed over proof of insurance. Everything's good.
September comes and the bank charges me $1033 for not having collision on the vehicle, I call the insurance company, they say I never got a picture taken of my car, so they dropped the collision. I go to the insurance company with my bill of sale , they made a couple of photo-copies, put one in the file and say they're gonna mail the other out to the main headquarters. I call up the bank a few days later and they reimburse the $1033. Alright.
October, my insurance company sends me a refund for $300 and change (the amount for the collision coverage), I go into the office and ask them about it, they say it's a refund because I don't have collision anymore since they never got any pictures of my car. I tell them they said I didn't need pictures because it was a shiny new car, they agree and say they need the bill of sale, I said I already gave it to them and run home and come back with it again, they make more photocopies and tell me it'll take about 2 weeks to confirm reinstatement of collision.
End of October, I forgot about it, I never got any confirmation in the mail. My dad ran into one of the clerks (he knows them from The Chamber of Commerce and he uses Allstate too) and she mentions that I don't have collision and they're going to have to inform the bank soon. So, I go up and ask WTF is going on and they open the file and find the photo-copies. 2 weeks later I get a bill for $300 and change (the amount for the collision), i'm back on, I bring the rebate check to them, they apply it and I finally have collision again. Awesome.
TODAY! I am checking out my loan online to get a payoff amount. There is a $500 collateral insurance charge with my payoff. WTF? I check out my payments history, the refund for the $1033 is gone. They didn't just recharge it to me, they ninja'd away the refund. I have no idea when they did this because there is no record of it. call up and say something along the lines of, "what the fucking fuck are you fucks fucking?" and the nice lady said they never ever received any proof of insurance ever at all. She had a record of me calling about it 3 times and that's it. So I gave her my insurance ID and their phone number and they're going to call them and if Allstate confirms that I've had continuous collision the whole time, i'll be reimbursed again. But I haven't had continual coverage. They took me off because they're stupid. I don't know if they'll consider it retroactive or not. I have to wait 3 or 4 days (which is the weekend, so really until Monday) to find out if I'm getting my $1033 taken off my loan or not. So, If I disappear after Monday, Allstate tried to fuck me and I'm in jail for manslaughter.
Wow. When my insurance company messes up, it's usually in a good way. Like thinking two cars we had crashed years before were still owned by us but simply taken off the road, so they never increased our rates after the accidents. Or applying the (huge) discount I had for keeping my grades up in college for the entire time I was there, while only checking the first couple semesters' grade reports.
So, I have a bum wisdom tooth which is badly infected. The pain is really rather bad. Even more so because I don't handle pain well, and it hurts to talk or swallow and I can't close my mouth. Taking medicines, but it seems to be from the "Worse before it gets better" school of medication.
That said when I went to the dentist, I had a checkup, X-Ray and he also gave me a quick clean. I then got antibiotics, antibacterial mouthwash and a pain relief gel. This was all totally free to me because I am dirt poor. Even if I had paid, the whole thing, appointment and medicine, would have cost me approximately £35 ($54).

A BIOS update fixed it when it turned out it had a bug in the temperature monitoring system.
I mean, um… I'm cool!

...Nah, it was definitely the cigarettes. Gross.
So boo the papers and studying that I am spending my Saturday on :mad:
Still makes for a harsh day.
Just in time for Christmas

And now we're all hateful. You're welcome.
