    My video card keeps crashing randomly, very sporadically like 4-5 days apart, but once it happens I'm hosed as it takes many reboots to get it back. My first abandon was 6 days ago, no penalty. Then last night it crashed and I abandoned another game. It always crashes at the very start of games so we haven't even picked teams yet. I realize this has no impact on whether you get an abandon now or not, but at least I am not actually ruining games, just making people wait a bit longer.

    Anyway, now I am in low priority for 6 games. How come the first one was no penalty then jumped right to 6? What will the next abandon next me and how many games do I need to play to get another penalty free one? I might be too scared to queue until I buy a new card.
