So…I bought a new PC

My PC is about 5 years old ( not that old, considering ). It was having some issues last year ( which I managed to fix ) but it was doing great lately… Except, while I was plugging in my secondary screen last week, I saw a spark… and ever since, my Wacom Cintic has been loosing the signal from my PC from time to time. It has been manageable so far, even though I couldn’t fix it, but last night it started doing it every 10 minutes. It always get worst after a few hours of running.

My guess is, I have an issue with the mother board, since this is where my Wacom is plugged in and the other screen, plugged in the graphic card, has zero issue... but considering the age, the fact that the graphic card’s fan has been having fits and that I always taught the de SSD drive was to small ( I had problem with it filling out with window temp files in the past. It’s barely big enough for Win 10 ) I took a chance and decided to change the whole thing.

I should get the new PC tomorrow, and I’ll have to perform a bit of surgery on it to add in my data drives, and maby add in my old RAM if there is space. So is you don’t get any news from me for a few days, now, you’ll know why.

And let’s hope to god that, the mother board was the issue and not the Wacom since I only had the $$ to replace 1 of them. If it is not… I will have to open shop and take commissions faster than I was hoping to since my wacom is vital to my work.

Wish me luck!
