    Radeon HD 4850 causes BSOD on launching any DirectX game

    @Mem: everything runs at stock speeds. Latest chipset driver and DirectX are installed. Different video drivers don't have any significant effect. @Azn: I was kinda hoping someone wouldn't say that, but I guess its time I face up to the truth that this is not going to work. Jetway (the...

    Radeon HD 4850 causes BSOD on launching any DirectX game

    I don't have a drive image to play with...that's all the trouble with the Award BIOS update utility. Its a CLI tool that runs under DOS (meaning no NT, 2K, XP...), but doesn't come with any DOS boot image. The tool assumes you can make one. I can, but the DOS USB drivers that you get in...

    i need to increase my bench press

    I'm pushing about the same weight right now but I weigh in at 198-200. I've been doing 3-4 sets of 10. Do you guys think more sets of lower weight would be better for increasing strength?
