Been a while. Odd issue. Hoping it's just what I think it is. So...
1) noticed new BIOS for ASUS TUF B650+WIFI (1616). Updated to that.
2) Fired up #GuildWars2. Had 3 crashes while in WvW. 4th went BSOD on me.
3) Had previous BIOS file (1413) around. Downgraded to that. Played another couple of hours of GW2 WvW. No crash.
Conclusion: BIOS can actually make system unstable???

Scariest moment for a new computer. After having tried ASUS Amory Crate, I went to uninstall it. Had trouble uninstalling. Then tried to reboot. Stuck trying to reboot. Forced power down via holding power button on case. Turn it back on, no display. Status LED on motherboard showed problem with CPU. Quick fix. then RAM. Reseated RAM. Then GPU. Reseated GPU. No video. Unplugged GPU and used iGPU. Works. Reset BIOS, plugged GPU back, reboot. Works. #gaming #amd #pcbuild

so now @paulg has been suspended on Twitter, after he posted about finding him on Mastodon. The stupidity at Twitter is mind boggling. Twitter has become so anti competitive that it's a wonder why the US gov't hasn't stepped in yet. #Mastodon #TwitterMigration

Good to see this server is back online. It wasn't responding quickly last night. Turns out some asshole decided that the world doesn't need Mastodon. Well fuck those people. Twitter is a cesspool of bullshit and hate now. I better start posting more on Mastodon. And with that....
