I can relate to computer difficulties. Months before in the year 2013 I was doing a project in AutoCAD relating to my medical background…I was running AutoCAD on an AMD Quadcore trying to demonstrate organic shapes as a proof of concept…that a computer could be “taught” to generate the geometries needed to 3D print organs. (There’s a company near where I live called Organovo that’s working on it…they can do cartilage, but other organs are trickier).
Just before my project was due, however, my mainboard fried. Yeah, I was careful to liquid cool my CPU, but AMD boards have 2 chipsets…the “Northbridge” (high speed, high demand tasks) and the “Southbridge” (most other tasks). The Northbridge fried. Fortunately I could get a replacement board then easy enough, and I was back up and running.
My project won best in class/best in show at the student showcase that year.
