    Looks like my launch day Xenon has finally bit the dust. Even 100% fans were apparently no match for hours of Borderlands 2. System boots then video glitches out and system freezes either before or right after dash loads, happens in xell too, RIP old friend.

    It was a ticking time bomb all things considered, I'm surprised it even made it this far from launch day. Gonna probably just replace it with a rgh slim, even reballing it's still a cruddy xenon and will probably just die again.

    Its not caused by overheating anyway. Over simplifying the problem doesnt mean ramping up the fans is going to stop it.

    Yeah, especially considering it saw regular use, having BL2 on for over a day musta been it's nail in the coffin, I knew it was going to keel over eventually. Least this pushed me to finally upgrade
