    Error: Unable to dump physical Memory

    Hello, Sometime last week, my PC started reporting this error. After the PC runs for approximately 60-65 minutes, the PC will either freeze, blue screen (then end up unable to dump physical memory), or start shutting down individual programs due to lack of memory before crashing. The 60-65...

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    Managed to recover everything. System is running great now. I'm well below 40 when idle and around 46 or so when gaming. Thanks for all the help.

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    Thanks for the info. I'm guessing there isn't a work-around? Not that it matters too much as I can just install to another drive and pull the data out (hopefully).

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    Well, the chip may or may not have been ok. I couldn't find out because the mobo is dead. I went and got the z77 pro3 and 3570k. Then I found out my OS is corrupt and can't be fixed so right now doing a reinstall. Hopefully I'll be done with this soon. Awesome cooler though.

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    I did not know the combo discount are in-store only. I have one close to my location so that won't be an issue. I will go with your suggestion if my current parts are gone. I will also hold off on RAM. Thanks for your help again.

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    I've looked around the forums for a little more information. I think if I need a new CPU (I will find out tonight. The cooler gets here today. Yay for fast shipping) I will go with http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354589 For Mobo, I'm looking at the...

    Yeah I ordered U12p SE2. Based on feedback, I'm not sure if D14 would have fit in my case. I forgot to make that correction with the whole computer won't turn on thing distracting me >.>;

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    The stock cooler had one of the push-pins basically detach, so it's no longer locked in place. Would it be ok to monitor in BIOS with a cooler that's basically not secured in place anymore? I don't know if I did hit it or not when I was moving the power cable, but that was the only time I...

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    I was cleaning using compressed air. After cleaning, I checked the temp. I went from idle at ~53C to about 46-47C. Then I shut it off and then installed a new SSD. The power cable was positioned kind of weird so I had to try to bend it (If I accidentally touched the cooler at some point...

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    Well, I opened up my PC to clean out dust. When I got to the stock cooler, I realize it has become loose. After fiddling with it, I can no longer turn on my PC. It would automatically shutdown while trying to boot up. I'm assuming it's an overheating issue. I'm gonna see what I can do to...

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    I bought the one you suggested ($75). I'm going to clean up and install it, check the new numbers, then go from there. It's also nice that the cooler works with 1155 if I do end up needing to upgrade my CPU. Thank you for your help.

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    The game had a Beta weekend event about a month ago, so I had some experience with the game and how it performed on my PC. It was definitely not optimized, but my current unit isn't really that good anyways since I also have some issues running other games. I tried to use some stability testing...

    Partial Upgrade to Setup

    I will go ahead with the Gigabyte recommended by Durvelle27. I think I will read more about OC before making the fan purchases as it's something completely new to me. I will also need to gauge the power consumption, and if OC is an option I may just get a new power supply to be able to do it...

    UPS Suggestion

    Cost below $200, preferably around $100. Nothing specific to protect from. Just want one for precautionary reasons. Does not need to stay on for longer than a couple of minutes. Unsure if power is unhealthy, although not particularly comfortable because my new place is fairly old.

    Help with Laptop selection

    The high res isn't really for work and more for entertainment. I think 1080p would be more than plenty, and a minimum of 720p will suffice. I've looked at this one too, and would like an opinion if possible. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16834146584 Thank you for you help.
