PC must be powered on and running for 1 hour before any poker sessions begin. My sweet gaming rig has had a defective video card for the last year now, that seems to crash as the system warms up for the first 30 minutes or so. Entire system freezes and I have to reboot to clear it up. If it has sat for a good hour then it runs stably for the rest of the night. Nothing like getting home, opening a table, flopping the nut straight on a 234 board in a 4way raised pot OTB, just to have my pc lock up as I'm typing in my raise amount.
In fact, I've heard of people keeping a laptop on standby as a backup in such crisis as down internet or something. I'll keep my cellphone tethered to that too just in case.

Well it was a radeon 5770, cant remember how much I paid for it, but something like $300 maybe? It works flawlessly except in this one tiny matter. Just dont feel like shelling out money for it. |

sounds like opposite of little and flawless. All video cards should be 'flawless' all the time. Not fucking up for an hour messing your life up. I'd grab a new vid card for lke $180 asap |
