As some of you have read my older post you will understand what is going on. Otherwise here is the older post, so the new information can be understood.

Old Information + Show Spoiler +

Lovely day, turn my computer on today, and SSD decides to die out on me. There goes everything. Thank god I had stuff backed up on my seconday drive so I can just plug it into my smaller OS drive.


So I send my RMA in and decide since it crashed I would update my comp.

Go onto newegg and buy some stuff. Pretty enthusiastic


I'm getting a 890FX GD65 AM3 Mobo

G.Skill Sniper 8GB 240 DD3 1600 ram

and Bought a new Processor Which was the most useless update i consider doing

Since i went from
940 Old

to 965 New


Ohh well maybe Ill sell my old one for something cheap like 80 bucks or something, cuz its pretty kick ass.


Thnx for tuning in.

PS: no new art, COMP crashed but you already now that if you read the text up top


Warning: Incoming Text Wall!!!!!

New Information + Show Spoiler +


Well, I received my products today 4/13 at like 1 o'clock,

thank god my brother helped put it together, since he is 100x better than me with computers.

Forgive me I'm just a gamer

Took 3 hours to put it together since, I have a mid tower case, and my video card is a 5870 which takes all the space from where the hard drives goes to the back of the computer.

Called Microsoft up to attempt to figure out if I need to reactivate my key. As I know, if a person updates his mobo he has to buy a new code. And that is 100 bucks down the drain for software I already have owned.

Just couldn't get thru the Microsoft automated guidance crap, which in my opinion is a just them attempting to save some money instead of hiring more people. Which bill gates I know he can afford.

Speaking about bill gates, we talked about him in my calc 2 class weird enough.

Speaking of weird, when i put my mobo on, Turns out i need a new Dvd drive because mine is on the Ribbons type of stuff and I need the ones with sata??? not sure yet.
thats not the point, but the point is It launched into windows.

My bro said it shouldn't launch because of ....... ( To much computer geek language to pay attention to which I forgot anyways!)

Remember how i said about the SSD drive failing on me if you didn't know the entire story read the first spoiler.

I filled our Kingston online RMA, and they said they will respond to me with in 1-2 days. 3 days later nothing so I called them. Turns out they really nice and helped me pretty well, got a person there that speed up the process, WOOT for calling.

And they shipping my new SSD overnight I should have it tomorrow.

Sad part I have to reinstall windows!!! I hate installing windows.

Now I'm afraid If I install windows again on my SSD they gonna say code aint valid and ill have to buy a new one

No art, lately (I know you guys and girls don't care ), Fan art is nice for the one or 2 that say that's cool. Speaking of art, I wanted to make a sorta like signature or a icon (like a logo for me)
that I can have if i decide to make videos in the future. Had this idea about making a button similar to the play button in the middle of the screen and then a cursor clicks on it and then it changes to my icon (logo ) with some sorta of the color of the play bottom going out to the side in like a line of some sorta of fade. might be intreasting



Thanks for reading,

There is no way you will have to repurchase your windows when switching motherboards. You will have to reactivate it, as microsoft will see the key on more than 1 CPU, but NEVER will you have to repurchase a copy just to reinstall it on a different MOBO. The only way a Windows CD is tied to your MOBO is if its an OEM copy, but even then you can just call microsoft and explain what your doing.

Your brother is wrong. Even if you added / changed hardware, it'll load into Windows but your copy may be not be genuine (deactivated) and it'll ask you to reactivate it either online (just one click of a button) or a simple call to Microsoft to get an activation code.
