A crappy time for my Power Supply Fan......

to go out on me.

Now I can no longer keep my computer on 24/7. I can't even play any games because once I get into one my tower overheats and my computer just shuts off on its own.

I know I'm an applicant and I need to be in-game and such but for the time being until I can replace it I dunno if I'll be able to play either UT or COD4. This sucks big time and I'll understand if my application needs to go for longer before a vote can be made.

I'll be on the forums from time to time. I'll try to play the game when I can but if I leave abruptly from the game and TS then you know my computer just shut off on it's own.

I can't play on Viol8r's computer because he's on his and I can't play on my son's computer either because he's on it or the baby is sleeping.

I hope you can all forgive me but I wasn't expecting this to happen.

Its important NOT to use that computer.
Same thing happened to me, and actually its not the fan, its the little circuit things on the PSU that go bad and can no longer regulate fan speed. Same thing happened to mine, and I was out of the game for a week, because I insisted on using it.
If you continue to use it, the transistors circuit thingies will start leaking a really bad nasty fluid all over the inside casing of your PSU, and could then damage your entire system.
(its what happened to mine)
