5 Day Experiment

So I've been gone from Xanga for a few days and haven't written anything. So a little over a week ago I decided to do an experiment. Around October I had been playing this game called Destiny Online for almost a year. Then suddenly my fan stopped working properly and my computers performance, the performance of videos I watch, and a lot of other things started to just go downhill. 

I didn't think it was the game at the time but all the same I cut my playing time down a lot and eventually quit for a long time.

I cleaned out my fan, and started shutting off my computer at night and at least once or twice for an hour every day. My computer's performance went back to normal and everything was good.

So I decided to do an experiment to see if it was really the game that caused all my problems in the first place.  

I gave my computer the normal amount of rest I stated above, shut down un nessicary programs, browsers, music players, anything that would make it increasingly hard on my computer. I installed Destiny Online and started playing again. Within the first two days I cold tell it was hard on my computer, though the game still worked fine, but it got increasingly worse the longer I played it. by the 3rd day videos were starting to get choppy and my character on the game was starting to get laggy and slower every day. I could tell yesterday something was off. Plus I can tell by now much noise my computer makes as well. 

So my game was working semi fine today. then I gave it a  break fora  half an hour a nd everything went back to the way it was when I was having all those computer problems. My game got really slow, videos got choppy again, my fan wasn't working normally. From the behavior of my computer the past couple of days I'd been waiting for this to happen.

so in the end I confirmed that it was Destiny Online that was causing all those problems. Its just to hard on my computer to run it, it exhausts it. I think if I had kept on playing it my computer would have died a long time ago.  It did overheat at least 3 times last year while I was playing.  

So safe to say I think my computer will go back to normal just like it did last time I quit playing. I'm glad I now the reason now.
