No power lights from the charger or where it plugs into the laptop?
I assume tried a known working outlet.

RAM stick could have died.
Charger could have died.
Charging port on the laptop could have died.

Just about anything else I would have gotten rid of it like you did.
But since you went for a GPU I also assume the laptop wasn't a must have thing.

Gee, I hate to tell you but I'm still using my Asus ROG G75V from like 2008.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-G75V.74684.0.html
I stopped using it as my main gaming system around 2015 but as a back up to run a second account to play off line it's fine.
The battery is toast so it's plugged in permanently and I have an Acer 19 inch 60htz as my second screen sitting just behind and above the laptop's screen. This is my main communications hub, surf machine and what ever else I'm doing piece of hardware.
Not sure how it's gonna like switching to Window$10. I'm told I can still do a free upgrade to 10 seeing as everyone is pulling the plug on 7 the end of December.

It kind of was as it was my work computer also haha. But I just removed the SSD. And yeah, the light comes on from the charging port, but all it does is the screen gives a flicker and never turns on. nor do the fans.

I love Windows 10. I do not like 11 and that's what my laptop had. Also, how that computer still works is amazing. Apparently the G14 Zephyrus do have issues of just dying. So guess I got unlucky.

Tried the new WRC and it was meh. Felt as if the cars didn't have any weight at all. Then I re-discovered a true rally gem. Complete rework of Richard Burns Rally by some dudes from Hungary. New physics, lots of stages and cars. I played original RBR about 12 years ago, that was cool, but this Rallysimfans.hu version is truly awesome.

weederr33 · 11-19-2023, 05:42 PM

That trailer made me feel like I was watching a rally game with the Doom soundtrack

Also, I've heard mix reviews about the new WRC, which is why I'm holding off on it. But you basically have to do that with any modern AAA game these days....

Arthur-A · 11-19-2023, 08:46 PM

Here's another one

I've recently been playing Red Dead Redemption 2, probably about 15 hours in and while it's a decent open world/RPG I'm not sure what all the hype was about.

Way too much time riding a horse back and forth, and pretty much every time I talk to someone I end up in a gunfight despite trying to play "the quasi good guy" path.

My sons tell me it's just slow in the beginning and gets better. Fingers crossed.

x808drifter · 11-20-2023, 10:39 AM

The end of Valentine and then on it starts to get good.
REAL good if you follow the story till the start of the epilogue.

Also Elk loading screens = Good
Wolf = Bad.
Honor wise, if you don't want to go to the pause menu and look.

Ch 1 - Tryin to survive/tutorial
Ch 2 - Tryin to settle back in like normal. (Tryin...)
Ch 3 - Didn't try hard enough, let's try again, everything calming down and falling into place. Also so well earned revenge.
Ch 4 - Trying to fit into civilized society.
Ch 5 - Fiji???
Ch - 6 Just straight heartbreak. (Also depending how you played things through the game this has a big affect on a certain mission)
Ch - 7/8 The epilogue leading to RDR1. (also very sad if you know how that game goes)

Still waiting for shipping confirmation

Living in Canada land there is backlog of orders via Canada distributor. Have a 2tb SSD waiting to order as well.

I've already started to amass a wishlist of stuff to play. Waiting for BF sales to go nuts. I did grab all of the half life games on sale for a whopping $6
