    Lol... Why am I not surprised (at all) that Sony has sunk this low?

    It actually makes a lot more sense. Not only is it all done by SOE (which allows for better cheat/crap checking since eBay is almost a free-for-all) the actually exchange of items and other things will be handled in server. For example, you put an item up for auction, as far as I know, it is...

    UT2004 keyboard malfunction...

    Ok, I recently got UT2004 to stop crashing after quitting by changing my boot.ini file from NotExecute to Execute... anyway, I'm not going to list my system specs because that can't be the problem seeing as it worked before... but I don't know what's wrong now. I have a Logitech MX-1000 laser...

    6800 Overheating badly...

    Well, not sure if this will fix the problem or not, but I sent the card back to New Egg for the full $509 refund and am putting that same moeny (plus more for the full year and not 30 day warranty) into BFG-Tech nVidia GeForce Ultra 6800 256MB... essentially the same card but its listed core...

    6800 Overheating badly...

    Ok, I got Coolbits and NVTweak to work and in the OC settings under nVidia Display, there was the option for "Fan Always On." Guess what? It's not. I rebooted (and have it set to always do this upon reboot) and the fan is not spinning. It spins at turn on, but then stops at Windows. I...

    Graphics problems... again.

    Ok, it seems the fan is no longer running on the GPU. It does when the computer is booting up, but once Windows is loaded and going, the fan stops. Obviously, that means the card will overheat majorly, but I have no clue why it's stopping (it never did before). I thought maybe eVGA drivers...

    6800 Overheating badly...

    Ok, new development. When the computer starts up, everything starts normally. However, once Windows is situated and ready to go, the fan on the GPU stops. It spins when the computer is loading, but once Windows is up it stops. That makes a lot of sense, actually, but what's making it do...

    Graphics problems... again.

    Crap, a reinstall of Windows? Yeck... doesn't sound like much fun... :( Yea, the 5 fans (3 fans, 2 exhausts) are running fine... And I think it's celsius... either way, the nView display shows it in the red, so I assume it's bad.

    6800 Overheating badly...

    To be honest, I'm not sure what HS is... heh... but I can tell you that this case is only 2 1/2 weeks old so I'd hope nothing that came with it has melted or been damaged already... I have no window on the case, but all 5 case fans (3 fans, 2 exhausts) are working. Two fans on the side panel...

    6800 Overheating badly...

    (BTW, I have a 560W Thermaltake PurePower PSU...) I'm not sure. In the nView thing, it has basically 2 things: Ambient (outside?) temperature (which is at around 40-50 degrees thanks to 5 fans) and then the GPU temp (which does the rising). And I can leave it sitting at the desktop and it...

    Graphics problems... again.

    I'm using a Thermaltake PurePower 560W PSU. Up until today it hadn't had any problems... and I was assured that 560W would be plenty...

    6800 Overheating badly...

    Ok, so, I'd had another topic on my GPU problem, but this has manifested into something so much worse. Ok, starting today, my GPU is running hot... real hot. It will open at around 50-60 degrees... standard... and then begin to steadily climb into the 90s and even 100s. But nothing's...

    Ok... I completely removed my drivers and reinstalled the 67.03 ones and I'm still getting a 66 and climbing temperature... ... ... ...

    Help... GeForce 6800

    Ok, I did a topic in Support, but I thought this place get's read a lot more, so I'm asking here as well... with a link to my original topic because I typed a lot: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...1884&enterthread=y

    Graphics problems... again.

    Ok, well, we have a new development. I read somewhere else while searching for a solution that the black bar thing can be caused by overheating... yay. So, I checked my GPU temp and, Holy Mother of God, it's at like 94 degrees. And from there it kept rising. I bolted down to check my fans...
