Default What has my wife done to my PC? (Edited from "What have you guys done to my PC?" LOL)

Ok...

I haven't posted on here for a long time now...

My PC was virus free, is as secure as it possibly can be and was working absolutely 100% until I allowed Steam to install the new patch.

As soon as I clicked "play" to see how the new patch worked, I suddenly found I have no sound (Works fine for everything except Cliffs of Dover) and my monitor is now no longer identified by Windows 7, saying it is a generic non-pnp monitor! I also had to restart the PC with a hard restart as, when doing it via the restart button, it came back with a black screen.

I have not installed anything recently apart from the new patch and a photograph from my camera. The new patch is the only change to my system.

Coincidence?

Anyway... sound came back mysteriously.... monitor still not recognised (Will have to look into that)....

But I will say that I have just run Black Death with an average fps of 41 so I shall shut up now.

Just a bit

I've also uncovered what may have caused the problem now....

Seems that, despite my constant warnings, the missus has been sweeping near the PC instead of using the vacuum cleaner! Just removed what looked like the contents of Tutankhamun's underpants from my case... and now everything is working swimmingly..... and make that an average of 51 on Black Death!
