Dirty Thirty / Busted Computer Update
Added 2023-11-12 18:02:05 +0000 UTCA "Dirty Thirty" is my name for streaming my animation work 30 days in a row with an 8-hour daily average. Starting on October 11th, I streamed every day, for 30 days, with a final daily average of over 10 hours.
A couple days before I hit day 30, my computer had a very bad crash, and continued to BSOD several times a day. I still managed to finish my "Dirty Thirty"--albeit with many BSOD's/restarts in the streams--and have spent the past several days troubleshooting and getting up in the guts of my work PC. After a full reformat, a re-reformat, and several diagnostic programs, I used MDSched to find that one of my RAM sticks went bad. After removing the RAM, all of the crashes have ceased.
I'm still running some diagnostics, and a little worn out from animating on Twitch for 30 days in a row, so I'll be taking a couple days off.
It's been a wild month.

2023-11-13 16:55:11 +0000 UTCI'm glad you were able to figure out the problem, I only started watching your streams on Halloween so I was able to catch the last bit of the Dirty Thirty but I was really glad to watch and look forward more after your much deserved break. Take care and keep up the good work!

2023-11-13 00:15:26 +0000 UTCYeah man, get that R&R, you're well overdue for it. I'm super glad it turned out to be memory and not the CPU or motherboard, probably the easiest part to replace in-place. You're a beast and a role model, keep being you.

2023-11-12 22:54:26 +0000 UTCYou’re one of the hardest working people I know. The quality of your breaks should equal the quality of your work. I’m glad you’re taking the time for yourself to rest up. 💜

2023-11-12 22:41:10 +0000 UTCWish I could hug you pal, your work is remarkable, top to bottom. Been a fan for decades now! Rest up, take your time, taking care of yourself is top priority, always! And if you ever need computer related help, I'd be more than happy to help any way I can! 😁 I ran in to the exact same issue with my RAM a year or so ago! Truly a pain.

2023-11-12 20:00:40 +0000 UTCYou are such an inspiration to be able to hold that motivation and commit to it for so long. I'm glad that your computer problems were solved in a relatively easy manner, still sucks to have to deal with that headache though!

2023-11-12 19:53:41 +0000 UTCI've had RAM go bad on me while doing important work, scary stuff. Speaking from experience, be careful using your system while it is prone to frequent BSODs. If the system crashes during an important write operation to the filesystem, this can potentially lead to data loss or render the system unbootable. Glad you were able to troubleshoot and get rid of the culprit sooner rather than later. Enjoy the well-deserved break.
