I have it a lot easier than most people because I work an early morning shift and I'm done with work by 9 AM. So I theoretically have the entire day to do what I want. But I'm just so fucking exhausted that I usually spend the day sleeping.

Yeah getting up super early like that can pretty much kill you for the rest of the day. I find when I have to get up at 6am I'm tired most of the day. Coffee helps a bit but only goes so far.

On night shifts I'm wide awake the whole time, and when I go to bed I don't need an alarm to wake up either. Night shift should be standard work hours! :biggrin:
 
WELP good news. My computer isn't dead after all. Turns out one of the sticks of RAM is bad. I'm guessing the reason why it had been acting so flaky is that it would work fine when RAM usage was low, but when I would load RAM-intensive applications (virtual instruments), the computer would freak out when accessing that RAM stick.

The weird thing is I just installed that RAM new about 4 months ago.

On my current machine I actually had a stick of ram die completely randomly. Came to it once and it was turned off. Went to turn it on and it would power on but nothing would happen, no beep or nothing. After pulling my hair out turns out it was one of the 4 sticks. They denied the RMA, so I'm down to 12GB from 16GB. I do have 3 other sticks as I had originally gone with a 12GB kit but decided to go with quad while troubleshooting all the issues I was having, thinking maybe this mobo did not do triple very well or something.

I'm tempting to take one of the 3 sticks and put it in to get me back to 16 but when I have all these issues the last thing I want to do is start mixing ram and adding more variables. I should try selling the 3 sticks that are good, but it's almost not worth the effort once I pay for shipping etc. If I can't figure out all the issues with this machine I may end up building another anyway so I'll have the ram on hand.
 
I've been debating on swapping my workstation and server. My server only has 8GB and that's the max it can go. I want to run more VMs and stuff, and I need to upgrade the OS anyway. Running Fedora Core 9 lawls. The yum repository for that distro has not been updated in a long time, so everything is just out of date.

My workstation has nothing but issues related to GUI stuff. So if I use it as server I can put more ram, and since a server does not use GUI, I wont get those issues either. Just not sure if the core2quad will cut it for gaming. Or I might just wait and save up to build a proper server with ECC Ram and stuff. Would also be nice to go to like 64GB or something off the wall like that, maybe even dual cpu.

Since I run Linux I can't say I've used more than like 5-6GB of ram so far on my workstation so 8GB would be plenty.

Would be a complex swap out to do though. I'd be out of a server AND workstation till both are up and running.
