    New SSDs crippled?

    I didn't mean to offend. I simply didn't expect such tactics from any company. When I read OCZ made a detrimental change to their lineup, I wanted to make sure Corsair hadn't made such changes either. Now that I have an official answer, I'm off to buy an F60. Thanks.

    New SSDs crippled?

    Although I appreciate the SSD optimization tips, my main concern at the moment is that Corsair might have followed OCZ and pulled an ol' switcharoo with performance. Do recent F60 (or any F-series) perform poorly compared to established F series benchmarks?

    New SSDs crippled?

    Video card crashes when gaming

    I swapped the PCIe power cable from my (modular) PSU and can now complete both OCCT and Furmark (I stopped the tests after 10 minutes). I'll continue to test, but I think I've found the culprit. Thanks for the advice.

    busydude: Yes, I did wait sometime before restarting. RedShirt: I had 10.09 installed previously (and still experienced this problem), but I will try re-installing it. Thanks.

    Video card crashes when gaming

    Thanks, busydude for the quick reply. However, my situation seems a little more drastic than the ones in your link. There, the game crashes to the desktop. I have to push the restart button on my case (sometimes, that doesn't work and I have to hold the power button).

    Hello, My monitor enters stand-by when gaming. It happens with a variety of games, but I'll use Dead Space as an example. Specs: Windows 7, Intel E8400 @ 3GHz (stock), Asus P5K-E, 4x1GB OCZ ram, Sapphire 5770 1GB graphics card, 4 SATA disk drives, Antec NeoHE 550W PSU. When playing...
