Issues and update

by FoxKai

Hello everyone just here to give you a few updates.

First the least important thing, I have been ill the past week... Right now for more actual important info.
I have been having severe pc issues for almost 2 weeks, (well technically years but it's a long story) I have tried everything I can but based on the numerous guides and articles I have read and by power of deduction I think my graphics card is busted, that or a faulty hard drive, i'm really hoping it's the hard drive, however for now my pc has a infuriating habit of just randomly closing down programs i'm using such as premiere, clip studio or any web browser and that's the best case scenario what usually happens is all the monitors freeze all audio freezes and begins making ear rape screeching and buzzing and then the pc shuts down.

So yeah for the people waiting on commissions still that is the reason why.

Next Inktober is finally over, well it ended 2 days ago but i'm writing this now while i wait for me pc to re boot. After doing an entire drawing a day for a whole month I can say I learnt a lot. one of those things is to never attempt this again.

And finally about me changing my commission prices. Across the month I will be coloring and shading the more popular drawings from my inktober drawings and then using those finished drawings in my new price sheet with the new prices, so until that's done my prices shall be the same for now.

Could be failing or unseated memory (it can wiggle out over time due to thermal cycles) or other cooling, too. If it's a desktop. have you opened it up and cleaned it out recently and reseated the memory, or reapplied the CPU's thermal paste, if it's possible to do so? Any overclocking could also be an issue - things closing randomly is a great sign that base clock is too high when you are overclocking because bus transfers start to fail. And of course, latest drivers for your hardware (from the system manufacturer, or if newer the component manufacturer like AMD or NVIDIA).

As for Inktober, good job, you did something that few achieve - at least you learnt something from it! 😺

I open it and clean it once a week, it was around 3-4 months ago was the last time a put new thermal paste in as that's when I got a new power supply and cpu cooler to help stop the overheating issues I was having due to rising weather temperatures.
I will try your suggestion with the ram when I clean it next time, I don't overclock anything and all my graphics drivers are up to date, I even tried downgrading them in case that was the issue as that has been an issue in the past.

And thanks, and even though I joke that I learnt I will never attempt it again I did learn a lot about proportions and that I was drawing torso's too short

Good luck with it. GPUs do fail over time (and they have their own thermal solution, but it's harder to replace). The hard drive is probably cheaper to replace though - you could check it with a tool that reads S.M.A.R.T. data. Maybe you could get an SSD? 4TB SATA ones are available at quite reasonable prices now, though still not as cheap as a HDD.
