Screen image starts jumping every 2 seconds after about 10 minutes.

Reboot, shut down and wait a minute, still jumpy, even the DOS screen in the beginning of the boot up.

But if I turn it off and forgot about it for a few hours, it'll work fine.... For ten minutes.

I figured it's heat. So I took it all the way apart for cleaning. Put it back together, same shit just takes longer before it starts fucking up.

:dunno:

It's been a good computer,... for 12 years. 🙄

I usually just toss them aside and get a new one. Keeping it only because of the stuff hoarded on the hard drive.

I actually only have 3 laptops laying around because I get about 8 years out of each one.
 
New workshop. A tent in the barn loft. 😅

Fake vinyl hardwood on top of real 100 year old hardwood. I ain't sanding that shit clean. 😂

Gotta have a place to store and fix up all these expensive RC cars my friend Ron just gave me.

I think that bench turned out pretty good considering the 2x4s I used were buried in bird shit for 15 years. I had to run a couple of them through the planer to get that shit off.

Light is provided by 400 little white Christmas lights.
 
I built a robot. It's a piece of shit that can barely lift a can of beer.

But check out my new workshop stool from Harbor Freight. 😊

It's going to be the thing I send out to flip the RC cars over when they land belly up and I'm 40 feet up on the lift.
