So, just so everyone knows, my computer has just today started repeatedly crashing, and then claiming it turned itself off to protect against an 'unstable power supply unit'. Like literally crashing while I'm using it, not just showing me the message when I start the computer up. I did get the message when I started my computer up today, and then played about 4 hours of the Sims 4. No problems. Turned it off and opened a Dreamwidth page, crash.

People online (which I looked up using a separate tablet) have said this problem has happened to them, and it's not always the power supply unit, they replace theirs and it still keeps happening, so idk. But just so everyone knows, there's a chance I might not be online as much for a little while? I'm going to keep using it now, and see if it still has a problem - other issues people said might have caused it included surges from USB devices and problems with the wall socket - and I have had a message before about this happening, and kept using it and didn't have another problem for months.

Part 2 - I posted that just so it was posted, in case my computer crashed again. Like I said, I've had a version of this problem before, and it just went away. And annoyingly, these sorts of messages seem to pop up a lot whenever I have new Windows updates to install. And from the sounds of it, even something like not having my internet router plugged properly into the wall might have caused it. And according to the people online, they had this thing happen over and over again and the message keep coming up, so it doesn't seem to damage or burn out your computer. So I'm going to use it for now and see if there's still a problem - hopefully not, because fucking The Sims 4 Seasons comes out next Friday, and I kind of need a PC to play that. I'm not entirely happy to pay a few hundred pounds to get a new power supply unit and replace it, if that might not even be the problem. But if it keeps happening I'm going to have to not use my PC as much for a while, so I might not be online so much for a bit. Just so you all know.

PCs. Who'd have them?

Other complaints you would have heard today: (No crashes since I last posted so far)

• It's been windy as fuck here today.


• Why are all women's light tops basically see-through nowadays? Is that a thing we're supposed to love, showing our bras? Or are they just openly using cheap material nowadays? It makes shopping for work-appropriate tops that won't kill me a nightmare.


• I can't remember the others, but I'm sure they were there and valid.
