Charlie (5 and a half) installed his “new” graphics card today along with a 500w OCZ PSU I bought in 2010.

I also also setup a Minecraft server with his older brother (almost 7) on an old laptop.

There were some complete system freezes initially but copypastaing a couple of kernel parameters seems to have sorted that.

We have also been outside to the park and enjoyed the sunshine. 😆

Edit: Crashes came back. I’m inclined to think the PSU is at fault. Back to the little Nvidia 210 card for now

Managed to eBay snipe myself a Corsair 650w PSU last night. Hopefully that solves the instability issues with Charlie’s machine when it has the nice AMD graphics card. 🤞
@cablespaghetti You lucky man. Your children are at the age where they're not brand-aware. All of this DIY fun will end once that happens. 😉
