Technical Issues
Added 2022-03-08 11:39:25 +0000 UTCUpdate:
I'm a bit stubborn so I tried to plug in the Graphic Card again, and it worked! Maybe it's a case of moisture.
Just checked the backup files and It's all good where I left yesterday. But I still have to install every program again. For now, I will only focus on those necessary for work.
I won't turn off my PC maybe this will help to avoid further problems until I am ready or find a good deal for an upgrade.
Soon I will be updating the WIP post on the Ballista.
Thanks for the comprehension.

Hello everyone!
I woke up today and started the PC to work as usual, but sadly it did not turn on.
While trying to figure it out I pressed the reset buttons many times. I decided to take out the Graphic card, and the PC turned on, but thanks to my help I may have damaged windows so I had to restore the machine to factory settings.
Considering how old the PC is (2011 i7 DDR3 8GB) and since I use it to work, maybe it's time for an upgrade but, since PC components here in Brazil are expensive I will take my time to upgrade the PC, for now, I will just but a new Graphic card. I live in a city where these types of components are hard to find (when I do they are a lot more expensive), so I will buy them on the internet, and will take a while to get here.
Right now I am downloading my work files on my notebook from the cloud to see what I lost from yesterday's work and reinstalling software on my PC.
Even though not as fast as my PC I can work on my notebook, I will just take a bit more time to finish what I am doing because it will slow down as I increase the polycount on each sculpt.
I will try my best so that this problem does not impact the month's production.
Best regards,
Ivo

I was about to suggest to check the PSU. I have friends that had a similar problem to yours and it was the PSU in the end.

2022-03-08 16:12:54 +0000 UTCYes, it's my graphic card. Since last year it's given me problems when I turn on the PC, sometimes one reset turns on. If I remove it, works fine. I plugged back in and worked without a problem. Maybe it has a boot problem. One of my friends believes that can also be a Power supply problem on the PC, I don't rule that out but I can't test this to really know.
2022-03-08 16:10:04 +0000 UTCOut of curiosity/ Were you able to find out what was the problem?

2022-03-08 14:40:44 +0000 UTCThanks, Feltyr! Manage to do something about it.
2022-03-08 13:42:10 +0000 UTCThanks, Earwaen! Totally, the biggest problem is when the hardware does not keep up with your work speed lol. In December I changed my HD for an SSD ow boy that improved a lot my saving time, from 2min per save to 30sec, this is not much time if you save only once but I save all the time lol, it was a huge win, and less flow breaking. Doing cloud backups is a must, I can work in any station if things go south, that's one of the reasons that I will take this moment and choose another antivirus, my latter was blocking one drive from initialization and I did not know how to turn that option off... so bye bye antivirus.
2022-03-08 13:41:37 +0000 UTCThanks, Hardcleave! I would never sacrifice quality.
2022-03-08 13:35:33 +0000 UTCI am sorry to hear that. Don’t worry and take your time to fix the problem. Best of luck with that!

2022-03-08 13:22:04 +0000 UTCDon't let this stress you out. Take your time and keep on working in your own speed. We'll be here! And cloud backups are your friend!
2022-03-08 12:47:41 +0000 UTCThat really sucks. Sorry for the troubles you're having but understand, I will still be here. Take your time, do what you need to do. Don't forsake the quality for speed. Love the figures. 😁
