So I ran both Furmark and MSI Kumbustor, and both of them didn't seem to trigger a crash. Today I tried clearing the StarCraft II caches folder, and I haven't received a crash yet after playing for a couple of hours on and off. Probably some corrupt data, though I'm not sure why it started...

Okay, I will try MSI Kumbustor. When my computer did crash, I was monitoring the GPU temperatures and it was nothing out of the ordinary, so I don't think it's a temperature problem. I've already tried reinstalling SC2 and it still crashed.

I've started having blue screen problems on my desktop (specs can be seen in my signature, except I've removed the 3650 card) which happens when I play StarCraft II. This problem started occuring a few days ago when I turned on my computer for the first time in 4 months. It doesn't seem to...

My 4870 idles at 70 C (the default I guess, since I never changed it) at around 27% and 23% fan speed. It gets quite annoying when it switches between those two fan speeds randomly as it goes over/under the 70 C mark.

I ended up updating the BIOS (With ASUS EZ Flash 2), and I tried adding in the RAM one at a time (4GB, 6GB, then 8GB), and it seems to work without giving errors. However, the Marvell hard disk error still shows up. I don't think there are any issues with the BIOS hard disk settings, since I...

For reference, I'm using a self-built ASUS P5Q Pro with a Q9550, and 8GB of RAM (x4 2GB OCZ DDR2 800 RAM). I'm running 64 bit Vista Ultimate. Today I decided to turn off my computer (I generally don't turn it off very often, perhaps once or twice a month), and the problem occurs when I start...

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/...91076&logon=&langid=EN Not sure if many of you guys can get it unless you happen to live near a BestBuy location that still has it in stock. The London, ON location has stock, so get it quick before it's gone.

I don't think they're selling it anymore, as it was the last one. Nonetheless, I'll post it to see if people can find one locally. :)

I ended up getting a L7780 for an insane price ($200 CDN) at BestBuy (they were in clearance, I have no clue why because other stores were selling them for $500). Just got it up and running through Wifi, and I'm pleased. :)

Well, I doubt I'll require such a high-end printer like that, other than the fact that it's twice the price of the comparison. How much of a price difference is toner compared to ink given how much yield each of them gives? I'm not sure I use a printer enough to be able to make up the...

Ah, thanks for clearing up the differences. I guess I'll be going with the HP OfficeJet L7590, unless there is another printer in the similar price range with similar features (duplexing is a must!)

About two months in with the computer, and it's very nice. Triple monitor configuration is very convenient, and the ATI drivers make it fairly easy to position the screens to my liking. I could never get a 3450 with dual DVI, so I just went ahead and got an ASUS EAH 3650 SILENT MAGIC. A bit...

After a bit of thinking, I found a few other models, and I'm rethinking of getting a laser printer. Other than quality, what is so good about a colour laser printer? I compared this printer with an Ink printer, and by spec, it seems to be getting crushed by the HP OfficeJet L7590. Stuff like...

Seeing as my old printer doesn't have any Vista x64 drivers that will work (Xerox Workstation XD102), it has kind of become a sole photocopier. I'm looking for possible options for a multi-function colour laser printer. I don't really want to spend a fortune, but I'd like to see options from...

Isn't this only the case when the component is connect to the case? If you equalize potential electric energy between you and the case, then you may still have potential between you and other components outside of the case that aren't grounded to it.
