Puck's PC go brrrr

Who are you?

Hi all, I'm Puck - V-Tuber and host of The VR Community Awards and What The Puck!. I also kiss boys :3

What Happened?

After a week of it being on life support my PC has bricked live on stream. It will not reach BIOS when turned on.

We've tried many, many things to get it working again including:

- Flashing BIOS

- Seating everything

- RAM

- Replacing CMOS Battery

- Connecting JBAT 1 Pins to reset CMOS

- Checked wires

- Troubleshooted error lights

- About 100 other things recommended by the community and many friends in the IT sector.

- Taken it to 3 IT repair shops who won't touch it due to the complexity of diagnostics outside what I've already tried.

I've spoken to many of you and spent days trying to correct the fault but we cannot find it. I have no spare parts to test hardware like motherboards etc so have to concede this is the end of it.

I've had it for 6/7 years and it's done me well, but it's time to move on.

My work on The VR Community Awards on Feb 16th this year was enjoyed by 250,000 of you and made waves in the community, but it also cost me everything I have as it was self funded by me. I have no funds in savings anymore and have no chance to replace this. I literally have no option but to ask for help.

Streaming is my sole income and has been for 3 years, so getting back on track is vital for me. I live alone and pay rent/bills from doing this, so I'm now unable to make money until I'm up and running again.

The goal is for a new PC that is future proofed for the next 6 years and to keep me afloat with bills and rent until I'm able to work again (I don't need a £3k PC that's just overkill).

If you can't donate that's totally OK! Times are hard for most of us. Instead if you could spread the word I would be eternally grateful.

I want to figure out a way to give back to you all so please join the Discord so I can keep you updated on things. Discord.gg/puck

In the event a PC is brought for me these funds will be given to them as reimbursement.

Any spare money over target will go into a float for emergencies. I will not spend it on frivolous things.

Thank you all for supporting me over the years. If this is where it ends I can hold my head high knowing I made a difference to so many lives and I'm so proud of how far you've all come. Although content might be over and ill go back to being an estate agent, I'll still be a part of the greatest community in the world and will be back as a normal member one day.

All my luff,

- Puck
