    I think my video card is crashing my computer

    I guess I could do that (BB is a good target ;)). My only concern is that this problem is not consistently reproducible, so I can't guarantee that I won't see the problem in a 30 day trial. Plus I dont have hours to spend playing games trying to crash my computer haha. I found some other...

    I think my video card is crashing my computer

    Well it has done all of the above. The stock driver for the video card would occasionally minimize my game and pop up some error (don't remember what it said, but I remember it was related to the video card). Then I updated the driver, and the error changed from the error to a BOS. More time...

    I think my video card is crashing my computer

    Good call, its actually 4.4GHZ so 2.2Ghz per core. It was one of the first ones (its been awhile since I have had to pull up the stats). So is there some program that can tail the error log and give me an idea of what is up? Could Dr Watson work for this (i just thought of this and Ill have...

    I think my video card is crashing my computer

    I have had this POS Asus AX850 video card for a few years and more often than not, my games will crash. We are talking about Warcraft 3, battlefield 2, halflife 2, etc. I have tried updating all my bios/drivers for mobo and all, and it doesn't seem to help. Anyway, I want to track FOR sure...

    AT, Help me build a C2D system

    Klipsch speaks are the best if you are gonna beef up your sound. ie: http://www.shentech.com/promediaultra51dh.html It is kind of silly that you are getting a "low end sound card", but really expensive speakers... Personally, I wouldn't bother with nice speakers without an about average SC...

    Southbridge drivers? Northbridge filter drivers?

    ATi doesnt support the drivers because they just make the chip, not provide the chip's functionality. Since it is integrated video, the driver is provided by Toshiba. What makes you think that the drivers are not installed? Usually prebuilt systems are already correctly configured...

    pc crashing ingame

    I highly doubt those are the probability ratio of defective hardware... Maybe the PSU... I could agree with that, but the GFX card? hahaha, so F-ing way; the company would go bankrupt with replacements... Do you have supporting data?

    Streaming data across Internet using UPnP using WMP11?

    I am using Windows Media Player 11 to stream, "share", my media within my network. I want to see what the risk factor would be to open a port on my router and stream across the net. I dont think WMP 11 allows receiving of UPnP, just xmitting, correct? Thanks

    Setting up a server with a 1.5TB UPnP storage device

    Thanks for the smart ass comment... The reason I am inquiring about Samba is because it is on Linux, so I know that. However, I would like to know which route I am going to take before I start buying stuff.

    Setting up a server with a 1.5TB UPnP storage device

    This UPnP will be a 1.5TB 'drive' (4 drives RAIDed). In the hardware forum I was told to check around for some advice on setting up my own server my RAID as a UPnP device, OR to just buy a NAS which is already set up to do UPnP (Infrant). I was told a program called Samba could do this? I...
