    No joke, I was playing Leona in an ARAM, cast Solar Flare, and I had a blue screen of death. :frowning2:

    When I rebooted, Windows had disabled my card, saying under Device Manager "Windows has disabled this device because it reported problems (Code 34)." I thought, hey maybe this is a Windows thing. So I boot into Arch Linux, and Xorg won't start. :frowning2:

    So, ya. I fried my video card. Always clean dust out of your fans, kids...

    What do you guys recommend to replace it with?

    I usually trust this knowledge to you. Nvidia is always decent.

    That last statement is exactly why I should probably not be giving you tech advise.

    Well....that sucks. You should have a memorial for it, bury it in the back yard with a little headstone.

    Sounds coincidental. Maybe bad batch? Did you clock?

    Also, ATI cards are better, since not only are they built like a TANK, they are also cheaper. Go for ASUS models with DirectCU.

    Easiest job at Riot is the balancing department. Its a dart board with Irelias moves and what ever dart lands on it they nerf.

    I'm surprised so many of us immediately understand 'playing Leona in an ARAM'
