Hmm, looks like you're gonna need some special diagnostic tools that are only available on GNU/Linux systems. Report back when you've installed it.

>>60634718
install gentoo

>>60634845
Just wait for the video card, OP. Meanwhile, search for the ordered video card's driver in case it didn't come with driver CD.

>>60634718
For real, if you're playing Minecraft then install Linux. Mint would probably be a good choice. Don't forget to install Nvidia proprietary drivers (available from Driver Manager).

Anyone have a quick fix for screw that are too tight? I'm trying to get to the battery on the motherboard of my laptop but I can't even open the fucking thing.
