Whenever I run Iplayer in full screen my GPU fan goes mad. It sounds like a jet engine. I've checked on MSI afterburner and whenever I go full screen the GPU usuage goes from <10% to >90%. Anyone know what could be causing this all of a sudden? I've updated the drivers but it has made no difference.

Noticed a similar problem yesterday with my gtx550, running inecraft, bumped from 50C to 75C for no reason.

Righto, update time.

It's been a mad rollcoaster 6 months, back in late October or early November it looked like things were over and I was a bit of a mess. Turns out she was the same, the ex-boyfriend had messed with her head yet again and she just didn't want to hurt him. Finally I lost my rag, had a huge row with her and that turned the tide, I probably should have manned up earlier to be honest but the moment I did we were back on, full steam ahead. :D

December rolls around, Christmas is a week away, she had already told me that she loved me and I the same to her, everything was utterly brilliant. Whoops, missed period, hmmz. :D A pregnancy test later and we were both smiling from ear to ear, semi-unplanned but who gives a fuck, she is the one for me and I knew that all along so I was delighted.

Sadly, the last few days of January we suffered a miscarriage at 9 weeks in, it was pretty devastating stuff for a few days and the emotional scars still ache a little. :( That said, we are going to try again right away, on Valentines Day we got engaged and are now looking at planning a wedding for June 2014 god willing. We will have been together almost 2 years by then, it's plenty of time to figure everything out and prepare, alot of friends/family think we have rushed it but balls to them all, we both know how we feel and things were electric before the miscarriage but since it happened we are so much closer in every way and so it's time for the old boy to marry the girl of his dreams.

Wish me luck! :D

I know you're going to go ahead anyway - so the wish of "good luck" is genuine.

However:
alot of friends/family think we have rushed it

So do I. Hold off on the kids m8. It's too big a move just a few months after such shitness and the sensible move would be to enjoy being together properly for a while.

Plan for your wedding. Have a nice time for a good while and then go for the kids.


Anything else is sheer madness IMO. Listen to your friends and family's advice. They're on your side.

I don't think you have rushed it at all. Me and the wife were engaged after about 3 months of being together, married 18 months later...that was 11 years ago this year. Her parents were married within 3 months of meeting, that was 40 odd years ago (still together)

Sad to hear about the pregnancy :(

Both a "sorry" and a "grats!" post. Let's focus on the "grats!"

I would also not listen to people telling you to do certain things, especially when they're basing it off an update post. You can't judge their situation properly off that. (cue pointless cyclical Scouse argument #234985623)

I understand where you are coming from bud, however we are both rapidly approaching 38 and the odds of it happening again are low to start with, we don't have years to waste figuring all this out. So, we are taking a risk yes but we are nuts about each other, neither of us has been in a relationship anything like this close and so we both want to try now and risk the consquences. She has alot more to lose than me really, she owns her own home, has a middle managament job that she has been working towards for 20 years with the same firm. Once we got over the initial bumps though she was adamant that she wanted me and this life, I 100% knew the same about her and so fuck it, here we go. :D

Been there, done that (including the miscarriage - now we have two wonderful kids). Wish you all the best with it.

Thanks bud, it was a rough time but she is more than worth the heartache. Even if it happens again we won't stop trying, we are too good together to let this go.

Good luck to you cHodAX especially given the earlier part of your post. Life is too short to worry about what has come before or what others may say.

I had a nightmare last night about being attacked by a big fuck off spider that kept jumping at me. Every time I swatted him away, and everyone in my dream kept telling me to stop, like I was the asshole.

Damn asshole jumping spider.

Go Cho! Good luck and sod the nay sayers - kids are mind blowing but worth it.

I knew within the first few months that the Mrs was the one and we have been married for 15 years this year :)

What the hell is the "Pause/Break" key used for? In all the years I've owned a PC, I can't recall one second of one day when I needed it. I might yank mine out and put a piece of bacon in its place.

Start + Pause = System info window. Other than that, not a whole lot nowadays.

All this talk of Cloud Atlas on the telly, it's first screening in the UK, I've had the screener on my PC for a month now..it's freakin crap!
It's actually very good. You need to be able to follow it though.

Agree with Raven.

Just finished watching it. Quite enjoyed it.

The underlying premise is seductive bullshit - the whole reincarnation and ripples through time thang - like your life has ongoing meaning. It made me remember why religion is such a seductive pile of crap - it would be *really nice* if what you did mattered in the big scheme of things.

But it doesn't. Still. Enjoyed the film :)
