    One game alone causes hard crashes

    Maybe on their official forum. I decided to just give up and leave it uninstalled. So now something else just did the same thing, hard crash. Ugh. I'm going to try to look through logs etc.

    One game alone causes hard crashes

    Thanks for the replies. You are right that that is my thread. I got a message it has been deleted, apparently they moved it though to a different section. Sorry for being unclear, yes every time it crashes the PC shuts down and I have to reset the power supply before I can restart it. Yes I...

    Good news for video card prices perhaps?

    Many years ago a friend of mine and another guy I know answered a newspaper ad (that long ago) for a really cool sounding job. They went in and sat with a group of 6-8 other people in a small class type room. Turns out there weren't any jobs, but "an amazing opportunity" to get rich and be your...

    One game alone causes hard crashes

    The PC game Empyrion keeps causing hard crashes (PC shuts off, have to reset power supply to turn it back on - Event Kernel-Power 41 (63) - when it goes from the menu to load the game. I've done some troubleshooting but it is confusing me. The game played fine until a week ago. Other resource...

    New TV Can't select native resolution

    Just to close the loop on this: got a Displayport to HDMI cable but it is the same as HDMI - I can do 4k/30Hz or 1080/60Hz, but not 4k/60. The card can do it and the TV can display it but the use of HDMI 1.4 by the card and lack of displayport on the TV appears to be the limiting factors. Lesson...

    New TV Can't select native resolution

    Yep, thanks for the replies, that is apparently the issue. Theoretically a displayport to hdmi 2.0 cable/converter should be able to do the job? Hoping. Thanks!

    RPG recommendation

    Thanks for all the good replies. I have BG2 but he didn't like it, for one thing the characters look tiny and text is unreadable on our 1080p TV. We actually just got Mount and Blade Warband, its fun but combat is hard and he has trouble figuring out where to go/what to do next. I'll follow...

    RPG recommendation

    My 10 year old son has played and enjoyed both KOTOR games and I'm looking for something similar for him. Can be any setting, what I specifically want is: -A good story with lots of dialog driven interactions -simple combat, so not a FPS with rpg elements to it -cool environments -the...

    small business servers, VPN?

    Thanks, I'm not trying to get business recommendations or anything like that, its not my decision anyway. I was just curious for a quick orientation to the technology so I can ask some informed questions.

    small business servers, VPN?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, HIPAA doesn't specify much of anything technical to my knowledge. What I think our company most needs is cost effective maintenance of our computers and some form of EMR. What the boss is saying this will give us is "HIPAA secure" email and the ability to work on...

    small business servers, VPN?

    Hi, not sure best place to post this. I work for a smallish (110 employee) technologically incompetent nonprofit. We still do all of our documentation on paper. We looked at software packages for electronic clinical records but it got axed as the economy worsened. Now they have spoken with a...

    Can anyone speak to the noise level of this particular model? This is the older model without displayport or eyefinity.
