    Problem worse. Computer freezing instantly after starting.

    I wrote last week about random lock ups from my computer...well, the problem soon got much worse.

    Temp readings on the K8N Neo2 Plat

    Has a BIOS update fixed the temp readings at all? I heard they were off. I'm using 1.3 now.

    Problem with my new build

    So I finally got my new system put together yesterday and installed Farcry to see what it could do. I installed everything fine but when I tried to actually play the game it brought up the initial farcry logo then froze. The same thing happened with Call of duty. When I installed Dark Age of...
