    How does bad memory manifest itself?

    Broke down and bought some new G.Skill ram yesterday. It should be here by tomorrow. I saw another thread on hardocp which described the same symptoms as me, and apparently the reason that the Ballistix Tracer ram was so cheap when I got it was because they were all horrible quality, and died...

    How does bad memory manifest itself?

    That crossed my mind as well, but I don't have any other memory to test the board with. I also thought it might be a drive problem since running a defrag seems to be a guaranteed way to make my system crash. But it's not making any "I'm dying" sounds and SMART says the drive is in perfect...

    How does bad memory manifest itself?

    I think I might have memory problems, but the error messages I'm getting seem so varied it's hard to pin down what exactly is causing them. My machine crashes and shuts down randomly (especially if I'm trying to run a defrag) and when it comes back up it gives me different error messages...

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Crysis?

    Yeah this is more what I was expecting, and I've been trying to play it as such (to disastrous results). I hate finesse, it takes too much work :P

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Crysis?

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'm glad you guys had some useful info instead of just telling me that I suck :D

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Crysis?

    I'm actually being serious here, but I run out of ammo for that gun during my first encounter with the bad guys near the beach and they come up with a humvee and start shooting at me. I don't think I"m a terrible shot (I used to play a lot of cs) but then again maybe I just haven't gotten the...

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Crysis?

    Every other shooter I've ever played, EVER, gives you the ammo of a gun just by running over it. The most complicated this set up ever gets is when you can only hold a limited number of guns at a time and have to drop one to pick up a different one. Can someone tell me why I have to stop...

    what ever happened to GOOD cpu coolers for < $60

    You're not crazy, that's how they're supposed to be, according to this statement from silentpcreview during their review of the TR HR-01 Plus: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article842-page3.html "The base has a smooth finish and it was not flat, but slightly convex. The shape is...

    Best BIOS Fan Control?

    I just picked up an Abit IP35 Pro and one of the main reasons I got it (besides its widespread use and support in online communities) is for its fan control options. Like ModelWorks said, the BIOS allows complete control of every fan attached to the motherboard (up to 6), with the CPU fan...
