Took my computer to a local repair guy yesterday. Geek's, it's called, which I find humorous. Called be mack today . . . umm, called me back today and said he think's that he's pretty sure it's the graphics card that's having the overheat issue because he's literally never seen this kind of weirdness before. So I'm going to talk to someone I know and see if they can toss me a spare graphics card to plug into one of the PCI slots so I can bypass the on-board system and not have to buy a totally new motherboard.

Also I am covered in paint splips.
