This time around my game crash caused the computer to completely freeze (reset button wouldn't even work) and the Steam Controller was stuck on rumbling (I had to pull the battery out!)
What's your most awesome crash?
Most awesome crash i think was back in february last year. I was playing ARK on Linux, suddenly framerate started to jump and then boom, like electricity went out, tried to turn PC on again, nothing. opened it up and saw my VRM was smoking for a split second. That was it with this FX [email protected] and cheap gigabutt motherboard whos poor VRMs had to keep up with my OC for several years.
That was a confusing one to figure out...
Turned out I had a very furry heatsink on my GPU... oops :-)
I was playing a bootleg copy of C&C Tiberian Sun.
Suddenly the disk spun up to load a movie. Then.... CRACK. I pulled out the drive and i saw shards.
To this day i swear a shard flew out when the tray was closed (though might be my imagination as a kid)
Few people believe me this can happen.
