First off, I would like to thank those of you that have subscribed to me on my youtube channel. I had around 12 or so before I uploaded any Subnautica videos, and now I have 21. So if you were one of those that subscribed, I humbly thank you.
Now, onto the bad news.
Shortly after I had uploaded my 8th video of Subnautica, which was the 21st of January I believe, I decided I wanted to upgrade to three monitors instead of just one. Before I was able to do that, I would need a new graphics card. So I placed an order for a new graphics and it took about..4-5 days to actually get here. When it finally got here I had the help of my brother Greenfire installing it. For some reason, it kept giving us an error. So we put my old card back in and the computer would start up just fine. Okay...a little weird. We took that back out, and inserted the new one again. Same error. Put the old back in, started just fine. Then we decided to try it with no graphics card and low-and-behold, the computer started up just fine with no errors.
This time we put the new card in...error. Took that out, put the old in and....error. Now the caveman DNA is coming up and frustration is setting in. To find out what this meant, we made a quick trip to google. Google search told us the reason behind this, was the result of my hard drive failing.
So now I need to order a new hard drive, and since the windows program I had before was a pirated copy, I would need to buy a legit program. I decided to go with Windows 10 since they practically don't offer Windows 7 anymore..or at the time when we were searching, we couldn't find Windows 7.
Before I placed the order, we gave our good friend a call and told him the situation. He told us he had the same thing happen to him not too long ago when he upgraded his computer. What he told us, is that the best thing to do would be to buy a Solid State Drive 500GB or less and two 2TB hard drives.
So now I'm buying 2TB hard drives, a 500GB SSD, Windows 10, and some sort of adapter that will make my SSD fit inside one of my hard drive ports.
All this stuff takes about a week and a half to get here.
We got the new graphics card installed, installed the two 2TB drives, and the SSD. Now, time to install Windows 10.
For unknown reason, it would fail every single time we tried to install it. My computer in the BIOS menu would decide what it wanted to detect when it came to hard drives or would say I only have one drive when in fact, I have three.
Three days. It took three days to get my computer to successfully install Windows 10. Once I got that finally working, it was time to plug in my three monitors.
....
Son of a b*tch. My new graphics card only has one HDMI port and three display ports. I need to buy three display port cables. Three more days later I now have three monitors. One more small problem. My headset broke during all this. So I don't have a mic to record for videos, nor can I skype chat or listen to anything late at night.
Now, with all that being said and done, I haven't been able to upload any videos for a month now. As soon as I buy a replacement headset, videos should be coming back up..slowly.
