Power Failure
So, a few days ago my gaming computer started randomly shutting itself off. Initially, I thought it was some sort of thermal issue, but after investigating more it seems as though it may be a dying power supply. I've ordered a new PS from neweggg and hopefully that will be sufficient to fix it. If the powersupply isn't the right answer, I fear that I will have to replace the motherboard or the processor--either of these would certainly invalidate my Vista install and annoy me to no end.

This is very annoying because I have been playing Morrowind recently and am making good progress towards becoming king of the world (top of a ludicrous number of factions) and this is causing undue delay.

Metal on metal
Yesterday morning, I was awoken by a periodically recurrent sound of metal hitting against metal. The clang was shrill, but very very brief and loud enough that it was difficult to ascertain direction. Once I was awake enough to attempt to locate the source, it seemed as though the noise had vanished. I attributed it to perhaps some bizarre failure beginning to occur in my bedframe or perhaps box springs. This morning, I was again awoken (at about 5) by the sound's return. This time, it occured a few times then seemed to fade and I was able to sleep until around 7 when it came back with greater vigor. After attempting to ignore it for about half an hour, I gave up and got up. A search of the room turned up no obvious sources of the sound and attempting to fix any possible source originating in the bed itself appeared to have no effect. When walking out of my bedroom, the sound recurred such that I was able to positively identify the source as the smoke detector in my bedroom. This was quite a shock to me as I believed the smoke detector to be non-functional (I certainly had never taken any steps to make it anything else). Apparenly, the sound my detector makes sounds exactly like someone hitting a long piece of thin metal with a hammer. I have no idea how they emulate such a sound, but I have since rectified the problem through removal of the device's battery.
