D.A. fan is back for an ME1 Text Only 'Let's Play' (page 51)

I used the WEbsite save but must have clicked the wrong button cuz I thought you guys said I could remake my Shephard and rename them even with an import save?

The intro:

Firey red planet makes me think of The Planet Char from Star Craft.

I turned on subtitles. I snorted in laughter when I saw Miranda was talking to an "illusive man." With the Cigarette, reminds me of who Fox Mulder was going after in X files. On top of that, Miranda's speech about Shepherd reminds me of Cassandra's speech about Hawke.

Ships getting blown up. Guess that explains the "normandy crash site" I downloaded. Kaidan was there and I ordered him away. Felt dramatic. I'm liking this head canon that I have liekd Kaidan all along but Shephard didn't realise till this moment... not that it matters, he's not in 2. So, she'll have to distract herself with other men.

And juuuuust as I was going after Joker (haha, I missed the stairs and I have no way of knowing where to go so I ran back and forth twice before seeing them.) My computer restarted. How nice. 

The part where you're suddenly in space and can hear your breathing over everything else was pretty darn cool

So there I was thinking... Wow. There is no way Shephard survived lack of oxygen and a crash from space. How they going to make her live through that one?

They didn't, she totally died, and they somehow remade her. Crazy stuff. is 4 Billion credits a lot?

I went from liking Miranda ( I know she's straight) to not liking Miranda at all. Also, I said I may not leave with them and she acted like she didn't care. Which contradicted her statement before that I was the only reason any of this was happening =mega important. Also, they didn't actually let me try to refuse to leave. SO I made an empty threat to go save civilians I guess. Jacob's alright, I'm meh about him at this point and I just saved before going to talk to Illusive Man. Even funnier they actually call him that.

Jacob vouched for my fighting skills and I laughed. my version of aiming was run straight at them shooting.

By the way, Where is the Black Emporium of Mass Effect 2? Looks like I can cut paper with these cheek bones and the red in my hair isn't red enough.

phoray

Drats. Sorry it's going pear-shaped with the PC. My guess is that the random reboots are caused by a problem with the power supply. You mentioned that it is an external device? If at all possible, try to borrow another one and see if the problem persists. That's all I can come up with right now.

Alternately, try to deactivate the automatic reboot on error - Windows may actually give you an error message then instead of just rebooting and making you guess what went wrong. How to deactivate this option depends on your windows version.

I used to think that. Then I had a hard disk head crash.

Of course, if you've got some other backup, you don't need Origin's.

phoray

A random black screen then? Interesting. If that ever happens again, check if the computer is frozen of if it's running and the screen is just rendering black. For example, you could press Alt-F4 - Enter to see if your computer will still shut down. You might have to try several times because if you're in an active Window, Alt-F4 will close that first.

And yes, if it's still on when you get home that would be a good sign, especially if the reboots/black screens happen totally at random and not during times of heavy load.

If it were memory related, we would know by now because that produces blue screens.
