    How does bad memory manifest itself?

    Broke down and bought some new G.Skill ram yesterday. It should be here by tomorrow. I saw another thread on hardocp which described the same symptoms as me, and apparently the reason that the Ballistix Tracer ram was so cheap when I got it was because they were all horrible quality, and died...

    How does bad memory manifest itself?

    That crossed my mind as well, but I don't have any other memory to test the board with. I also thought it might be a drive problem since running a defrag seems to be a guaranteed way to make my system crash. But it's not making any "I'm dying" sounds and SMART says the drive is in perfect...

    How does bad memory manifest itself?

    I think I might have memory problems, but the error messages I'm getting seem so varied it's hard to pin down what exactly is causing them. My machine crashes and shuts down randomly (especially if I'm trying to run a defrag) and when it comes back up it gives me different error messages...

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Crysis?

    Yeah this is more what I was expecting, and I've been trying to play it as such (to disastrous results). I hate finesse, it takes too much work :P

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Crysis?

    I'm actually being serious here, but I run out of ammo for that gun during my first encounter with the bad guys near the beach and they come up with a humvee and start shooting at me. I don't think I"m a terrible shot (I used to play a lot of cs) but then again maybe I just haven't gotten the...

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Crysis?

    Every other shooter I've ever played, EVER, gives you the ammo of a gun just by running over it. The most complicated this set up ever gets is when you can only hold a limited number of guns at a time and have to drop one to pick up a different one. Can someone tell me why I have to stop...

    what ever happened to GOOD cpu coolers for < $60

    You're not crazy, that's how they're supposed to be, according to this statement from silentpcreview during their review of the TR HR-01 Plus: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article842-page3.html "The base has a smooth finish and it was not flat, but slightly convex. The shape is...

    Best BIOS Fan Control?

    I just picked up an Abit IP35 Pro and one of the main reasons I got it (besides its widespread use and support in online communities) is for its fan control options. Like ModelWorks said, the BIOS allows complete control of every fan attached to the motherboard (up to 6), with the CPU fan...

    Uh how quiet is the PS3 supposed to be?

    Reading this topic i'm starting to think there's something wrong with my PS3. I have the 40gb version and it's freaking loud. When I turn it on it's great, virtually silent, but about 10 minutes into whatever I'm doing (whether it's a dvd or a game) the fans inside kick in and go to 100% and...

    Smaller, quieter, cooler PS3 coming this autumn

    It would be awesome if they would allow me to trade in my old system for one of these. I love my PS3, but I hate how the fan has to spin up at full speed just to watch a dvd :(

    What's the Worst Thing You've Ever Done?

    When I was in middle school a group of kids used to pick on me when I was walking home from school. Nothing physical, just verbal insults and threats and the like. I returned their insults, and said some choice words about one guy's mother. He got really mad and threatened me more, but didn't...

    Clubs are only fun if you're rich enough for the VIP section. Otherwise I don't bother, those places are just filled with the type of people I dislike.

    So what exactly is the deal with PS3 pricing?

    Thanks Blurredvision, that's exactly the kind of insider opinion I was looking for. I'll keep an eye on my local game stores but if what you say is true then I'll be able to hold out and have a proper birthday present, instead of looking greedy and asking for it months in advance. :P

    What are the must have games for PS3?

    Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band should be coming out this fall, probably around november. Unfortunately GTA4 got pushed back to 2008. Also UT3, but I forget when that's coming out.

    So what exactly is the deal with PS3 pricing?

    So I've decided that I'm going to ask for a PS3 for my birthday this year, but I want to know exactly what's going on with the pricing because I'm hearing a lot of different things and I don't know what to believe. Here's what I know so far: 1 - the 60gb PS3 is now $499 2 - the 60gb PS3...

    Things you need to believe when you're old and have a computer
