It could be Windows Experience index kicking in. I had my computer idle the other day and my GPU started making weird noises, after about 3 minutes it stopped and the temperature of the GPU dropped back down,
This isn't a real build log but its similar. The story behind it is, My youngest brother (20 years of age) has disability's, the main one is Autism, in the past 5 years hes began breaking things, so i have to think of ways to stop him breaking it and build it. Things hes done are, broken 7 laptop screens by snapping them, breaking doors off the hinge, broken 3 tv's by snapping the screen or pouring water down the back of them, breaking tv controllers, media players ect
Ive given him one of the old laptops of the screen hes broken, but its to slow and hes broken the keys on the keyboard, they also are covered in chocolate milk and abit sticky... ect. So for his 21st birthday, i thought i would get him more of a computer what will be faster, but ill have to stop him from pouring water over it, and this is what i came up with, ill also post extra picture of what else ive done at the end, hope you enjoy and hope if anyone else has or knows someone like this, maybe this can help them
This is the start, where i just varnished it
The insides
With the Side on
This is where the USB ports are going to go
Should look something like this
The bottom of them
The ON button :P
This is the Dell computer i got for cheap and you can see the wires for my external button and fan
It will go into that corner covering the power points
The computer inside the box after i bolted the box to the side of the table
With the side on ready to get set down
This is what it looks like Inside its box
Finished product
Finished product
Finished product
Installed for his birthday, while he was at school (special place for the day) and its bolted to the wall, so he cant do anything to it
2 weeks later snapped the keyboard so i had to do this, its glued to the wood
Screwed down here
I found out couple of months later that my job wasn't finished with the screen, i put perspex on the top to stop him pouring water down it but i caught him picking the monitor up and putting it on the side to pour water down.. so it had to be fixed and this is what i came up with
This is it, all ready to be installed
This is the back of it, for the cable management :P i put the wood there so he cant push the monitor back
Fully installed, bolted down and the screen cant move
Everything completed!!
So yea hope you liked, here are the extra picture i took of things i made for him
The Tv, stop him touching it with acrylic perspex screen, and water proof with the speakers and its bolted to the wall
His Media player, the last one he kept smacking it on the desk and after about 6 months and 200+ times getting hit on the desk the hard drive finally gave up and died, so i got a new media player and hard drive and put it inside
The controllers, he use to snap them, i didnt use to have the acrylic perspex on the top but he managed to break a controller buy hitting it with his calculator....
This is his computer screen, acrylic perspex screen and over the heat vents at the top so water cant go down, there is a gap on the side so some hot air can excape, you can also see the chocolate milk on the side of the screen where he has tried to pour it in :P
This is again acrylic perspex over the stained glass because it use to push his hand through it and break it...
Well that just about does it, with most of the things ive done
Everything was cut out with a CNC machine my other brother owns and cut out for me
Hope you enjoyed it and hope it helps anyone else who is dealing with these issues :)
Both my sons are autistic and I am fighting back the tears seeing what you have done for your brother. You are simply an awesome human, Don't let anyone on the planet tell you otherwise.
