00:35:17 <DHess_US> �There are new and emerging forms of nuclear energy technology that are very different from the old smokestack reactors people tend to picture when they think nuclear energy and it�s on these newer technologies that we�ll focus.�
00:35:24 <DHess_US> WTF? Smokestack?
00:35:58 <DHess_US> If that is the level of knowledge displayed, then it is not going anywhere.
00:36:28 <DHess_US> �All I am calling for is an inquiry as to whether it�s a feasible option to ensure we are up to date with the latest information.�
00:36:34 <DHess_US> You have the latest information. Smokestacks!

00:55:10 <Ampera> DHess_US, Chernobyl was a smokestack reactor.

13:11:39 <Halcyon> Steve :)
13:12:26 <steve30> My graphics card had crashed again when I woke up. Weird.
13:12:55 <Halcyon> :(
13:13:02 <Halcyon> Is it an AMD card?
13:14:28 <steve30> yes
13:14:32 <steve30> Radeon 7770
13:14:46 <Halcyon> Could be a heat related issue?
13:14:53 <Halcyon> AMD cards are like space heaters
13:15:01 <Halcyon> We've had a bunch of them die at work
13:15:25 <steve30> Could be, but it survived the heat wave last week, and it worked fine in my old computer for a few years
13:16:13 <Halcyon> Just check that the heatsink/fan isn't blocked with dust and there is reasonable air flow
13:16:24 <Halcyon> Otherwise, chop it up to an AMD instability
13:16:53 <steve30> there's no dust. Airflow won't be as good as my old PC but should be OK
13:17:12 <Halcyon> Can you view the temperature through the Radeon software?
13:17:46 <steve30> I don't have any radeon software installed; I'm using the built in debian drivers
13:17:53 <Halcyon> Ah right
13:21:45 <DHess_US> Could be the power supply.
13:23:21 <Halcyon> It could be, but in my experience, power supply issues are quite rare
13:23:33 <Halcyon> Usually a power supply will fail in an obvious way
13:26:38 <steve30> here's what it was displaying today when i turned the monitor on: http://stevecoates.net/stuff/radeon_crash.JPG
13:29:14 <steve30> Here's when it crashed a few weeks ago. I was watching YouTube at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7TI26abjmY&feature=youtu.be
13:30:45 <Halcyon> Could be anything, but yeh it's definitely not happy
13:31:18 <Halcyon> I'd be looking at temperature. Do you have a thermocouple you can shove in the heatsink?
13:31:26 <Halcyon> It will give you some kind of idea of how hot it's getting
13:31:35 <steve30> i'll check it now
13:34:35 <steve30> Heatsink is barely 35 C
13:34:49 <Halcyon> Mmmm
13:35:03 <Halcyon> Did you get close to the chip itself?
13:35:20 <steve30> nope
13:35:57 <Halcyon> I'd expect the outer edges of the heatsink to be cool, but you want to try and get as close to the GPU as possible
13:36:07 <Halcyon> They usually measure temperature internally
13:38:06 <steve30> As close as I can get is still barely 35
13:38:23 <Halcyon> Perfectly normal then
13:38:29 <Halcyon> Not sure? Could be failing?
13:39:11 <steve30> maybe time for a new on
13:39:27 <steve30> *one
13:40:06 <Halcyon> Just confirm it's not some kind of weird driver issues
13:40:08 <Halcyon> *issue
13:42:10 <Ampera> Looks like a possible memory issue.
13:42:15 <Ampera> by my guess anyways
13:42:25 <Halcyon> Yah could very well be
13:42:36 <Halcyon> Not sure what killed our AMD cards at work, never bothered to find out
13:42:37 <steve30> could be drivers. I've never had any luck with Linux drivers in all the years I've been usingit.
13:43:00 <Ampera> That's strange, I've found Linux graphics drivers to be on an order of magnitude better than NT ones.
13:43:11 <Ampera> I don't have too many AMD systems, but the ones I've used have always worked perfectly.
13:43:17 <Halcyon> Yeh I can't say I've had too many dramas with video drivers either
13:43:30 <Ampera> That being said, you need to know how to use them, keep them up to date, etc.
13:45:32 <steve30> I think I'll definitely look into getting air conditioning later on in the year.
13:48:41 <Ampera> Well after a load of messing around with PXE and netboot in general, I've come to one conclusion.
13:48:44 <Ampera> It's all fucking shit.
13:49:18 <Ampera> Not necessarily even the PXE implementation side of things, but how people have used it, making it as hard as possible to boot into operating environments for most systems.
14:13:51 <steve30> I've just decided to play a game with the graphics settings turned up. That's ramped up the system fans :)
14:41:06 <steve30> Now it's really kicking the heat out. Heatsink is 60C
14:41:14 <Ampera> 60C isn't much
14:41:52 <steve30> No, but its made the case nice and toasty, and if it were winter, it would make a nice hand warmer :)
