Post-Break Update

For those of you reading, you may have noticed that I haven't posted anything since the beginning of my spring break. Unfortunately, my laptop just hasn't been able to handle the stress of editing videos. It has been overheating to the point where it just shuts off entirely whenever I do pretty much anything graphically intensive on it. So, I've just had to let all my videos sit on my video camera.

I did a bunch of research and found out that my type of computer is notorious for its overheating issues. Both the GPU and CPU in my laptop are coated with a special kind of thermal paste. This paste prevents both parts from becoming too hot. Here's the problem: Asus, the company who made my laptop, is known for their shoddy pasting jobs. The thermal paste that they used was simply not applied correctly. Thus, I'm left with a half-functioning laptop. Fortunately, the problem can be fixed relatively cheaply, so I lucked out there. In the meantime, I have temporarily fixed the issue by updating my video drivers and spraying out the fans with condensed air. I am in the process of uploading all my videos right now, so I should have multiple posts up by sometime tomorrow.
