My CQ is on fire. I don't know where my feet are. Everything is made of jelly

Captain's Log, YC113


Jumping into Dodixie in my mighty Maelstrom, the 'GIGA DRILL BREAKER', I smiled at the success of another incursion being repelled. I aligned and warped to the hub station, remembering that I had to restock on ammunition. Upon docking, I realised that something wasn't quite right. I tried to turn my head, but couldn't. My retina-projected user interface had disappeared, and it appeared as if the hangar itself were shrouded in smoke!

Fearful for my safety, I disconnected from the clone.

Reconnecting moments later, I found that everything had returned to normal. Confused, but relieved, I undocked. Suddenly, a force of flashing red shapes began an assault on the system! My camera drones malfunctioned, and barely managed to capture a low-resolution shot of the system before they exploded into flames.

No! I had to escape! Accelerating towards the station, I furiously waited for Scotty to accept my docking request. I felt the space around my Maelstrom become unstable as it was engulfed in the strange, red entity.

Redocking, panting from fear, I made my way towards the medical clone facilities. I had to ensure my clone was up to date before perishing to the red assault! However, once walking, I had suddenly noticed an unusual breeze on the top of my head. I was bald. http://i40.tinypic.com/2qv6mvr.jpg

Taking another step, I stumbled. Something felt wrong. Looking down, I noticed that my feet had fallen off, and I had gained the ability to levitate. http://i42.tinypic.com/2dch54o.jpg

It was all too much. I staggered across the walkway, and collapsed onto the couch. Astonishingly, my groin had disappeared. Furthermore, my hand had gained the ability to pass through solid matter! http://i40.tinypic.com/2aka8b8.jpg

Clearly, something was wrong with the system. I quickly undocked and fearfully jumped several systems to my autopilot destination. I forgot why I had even set it. I had to escape! Feeling faint, I docked into another station and disconnected from my clone.

Reconnecting later, I breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was back to normal. Well, almost everything. A hole to the hangar had opened up within my Captain's Quarter. http://i43.tinypic.com/72poab.jpg
Thankfully, I could step on the hole and not fall through into the hangar below.

If I could step on it, then there must be an issue with my clone's infomorph visual reception and transmission systems. Adjusting the driver software, I reconnected. It appeared as if my personal quarters were constructed out of some kind of jelly, and the CQ screens were distorted. http://i43.tinypic.com/taovps.jpg



More research on the matter is necessary. I hope to unearth this mystery.

A nice reprieve from the usuall rabble.

I haven't been able to log on for a while so I hope my system don't have similar problems

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

If your ship is really named that, then you are my hero.

Change your **** GPU.

It's probably frying.

Very nice read, thank you!

Then again it's rather sad that these issues do even exist.

I guess it's about an exotic graphics device or missing proper cooling.

Looking at your profile picture I can't imagine the horror you must have felt when you discovered you where bald. Losing your entire groin area on top of that its a wonder you survived the day!

I can literally smell your frying GPU from over here. Though watching it die to that narration was entertaining.

BTW, this also happened to me...

My old 4870x2 burned out a few days ago, and I got the exact same problems you have before it burned out completely.

Those red texture pops, my character was blue and hairless, etc.

Now I am waiting for my new 6990, it should arrive in 5 days.

A most rib-tickling adventure dear sir!
I pray that your hangar has since been de-smoked, your (truly fantastic) hair has been restored to you, your pants have had their inter-dimensional crotch hole repaired and your CQ has ceased to be jelly.

Must provide pics of your old GPU when you get the new one. I'm sure it will be slightly crispy by then.

Also, drink more, that will fix many of the problems.

As some people have said already, it looks like GPU death may be imminent.
