about the stream going down suddenly today


Hi all,
sorry today's stream went kaput randomly. Been working over the past few hours to figure out what went wrong. At the time my streaming PC (Intel Machine) froze and I started hearing noises. I have 2 pcs my main PC (intel machine) and secondary machine (my old streaming set up AMD). Anyway, my first reaction was my main PC had died which is why I was super worried and genuinely thought the whole thing had gone dead. Thankfully this is not the case.

Good news is it looks like my main PC is fine. It just looks like windows did something dumb and hung. Just doing defrags and checking it over so hence cannot stream right now. It is just an unfortunate coincidence that it freaked out at the same time as my other PC. The flip side, however, is it promptly alerted me to the issue with AMD machine

The bad news is it turns out the noise is in fact coming from my AMD machine. Based on the diagnostics so far it looks like my boot drive and possibly one other drive is on its way out and there is the possibility I may have dead ports on the motherboard. The AMD machine is approximately 7 years old so it has done well to last as long as it has with no issues after the hammering I have given it over the years.

I will continue to work on the AMD pc but looks like it is going to be out of action till I can replace it. I have started to do an extra back up of data just to be safe and once that is done will keep the PC off till I can do further testing to confirm if it is the hard drives going wonky or possibly ports being an issue as well.

The upside of all this is I should be able to stream pending defrags and doing some extra checks on my intel machine. I will confirm everything is ok with this PC when I know more. More than likely this will prevent me streaming more today but my plan is to focus on getting the checks done asap so we can go back to being live tomorrow.

I am really really sorry this happened. I never have much trouble in the way of hardware usually. Just my typical luck it does this to me now. I just wanted to say sorry for all the stream disruption the past few days what with my net clearly not being settled yet and now this happening. I will get it resolved so things go back to silky smooth. I appreciate you putting up with the issues and being understanding. Much love, can't wait to hopefully get back gaming and streaming tomorrow. I will post on Twitter and my Discord when I have firm conclusions the issues are fixed.
Thanks have a lovely day.
