Pinstripe screen of death

fatbuckRTO · 02-05-2009, 02:02 PM

Apparently in an effort to assist my (previously unknown to me) struggle to be a non-conformist, my computer has begun locking up and delivering a stylish variation of the Windows standard. Anyone have a similarly metrosexually oriented laptop?

You could possibly have an overheating\bye bye birdie vid card. What kinda laptop and does it have integrated, ATI or Nvidia card.

Dell Vostro 1000, ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 card (integrated).

It doesn't do it often, generally only when I have multiple programs running.

Why did I read that initially as "multiple orgasms" instead of "multiple programs"? I guess that might cause pinstripe screens of death too..

Thank god tomorrow is Friday...

Hmmm... nope, sorry, nothing interesting happening in my pants yet. Think you need to work on that..

Or maybe because my computer is somehow able to "generally only" do something, which might seem contradictory at first glance, but upon closer scrutiny is decidedly possibly incredibly sexy. For the record, I have decided that substituting the word "orgasm" for "program" in my head will make all future tech support calls briefly entertaining, if not bearable.
