    Need some advice on some odd computer crashes

    Thanks for the help, I'm going to try implementing some of these in the next couple of days.

    Need some advice on some odd computer crashes

    I am using an AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition CPU and 16 Gb of Corsair XMS3 RAM. My motherboard is an ASUS M4N98TD EVO AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard. If I use Prime95 to test my system can it diagnose where a breakdown occurs, especially if the machine reboots? Because, like I...

    Need some advice on some odd computer crashes

    I've run some virus scans in safe mode and under regular operation and they have come up clean. I checked all of my fans and they're all running properly so cooling shouldn't be an issue, unless all of the parts are badly designed, so what else could this be? My system only ever crashes when I'm...

    Need some advice on some odd computer crashes

    So has anybody here actually used this program who can tell me.

    Need some advice on some odd computer crashes

    So will this program keep track of temperatures even after a crash? Because, like I said, the crashes only occur in full screen games using 3D rendered models, and the crashes are unpredictable.

    Need some advice on some odd computer crashes

    I talked with my brother today, he works in IT, and he figures it's a heat issue as well. I just figured that if my video card was overheating, or something else was over heating, the games would be crashing at a similar rate, even this morning I played LEGO Harry Potter for over an hour without...

    Need some advice on some odd computer crashes

    I've got a computer that's maybe six months old, if that, using a single ASUS GeForce 580 GTX direct CU II video card and now it crashes either to a reboot or just a straight black screen with the last sound repeating over and over or a general growl from the speakers. I downloaded new drivers...

    Saving Dr. Severin—Are they serious?

    Dude, I never had that much trouble pulling off that mission. What difficulty level are you playing it on?

    You Didn't Buy it for the Articles (August 11, 2011)

    The Dragons are, apparently, unmanned too.

    Sol: Exodus

    Don't get me wrong LOAF, I don't mind simple graphics. But the two things that keep me coming back to a game are either good story or open world. The whole reason I still play Half Life or the Sam And Max games is because I enjoy the storyline. I don't really care for the storyline in the GTA...

    Sol: Exodus

    It looks okay, I mean the graphics almost look pre-Freelancer in quality. If it's a good free roaming Privateer style game I'll give it a shot, if not I'll give it a pass unless it's got a really killer story told really well, but it just doesn't look like that's so.

    Mortality among pilots

    I think Vietnam was pretty close to that level, particularly if you're counting fighter and bomber roles which (aside from a few airframes) the planes at the time carried out both roles.

    Realistic wishlist of features for a new WC game

    Well here's my top 3, from a technical stand point: 1: PhysX support for better destruction sequences when you shoot up another fighter and maybe a larger danger, akin to WC4's crashing into the dead hulk, only now there's the risk of being peppered by a sort of shotgun blast of shrapnel. It...

    Which Kilrathi fighter do you like?

    I love all of the WC 1 birds but my tied top two are probably that era Dralthi and the Gratha.

    Damn Darn DRM Discussion

    Triple-B, Steam isn't so bad. You know it;'s not like it's being made by Ubisoft, now that would be a disaster.

    Why don't torpedoes count?

    @ELTEE I remember seeing the same thing, but then again those are bombers. I think the traditional perception of a kill board though usually carries the perception of dogfighting kills and nothing more, but that's just my view. In Freelancer it keeps track of how many fighters, battleships...

    Why don't torpedoes count?

    I don't think Capship kills ever counted in any WC game, Origin or fan made. Historically, as far as I remember, fighter pilots never recorded kills against anything other than enemy fighter planes. Oh, and don't forget I do have over 400 years worth of A.B.S. experience in all things I care to...

    Pilgrim Truth Released (August 11, 2011)

    At the end of the movie and the novelization the Pilgrim bigotry was fairly well closed up and the Pilgrim threat was pretty much contained, done better in the book than the movie for obvious reasons. It's not until Pilgrim Stars that the new and more potent threat appears and then the Kilrathi...

    Pilgrim Truth Released (August 11, 2011)

    I finished it on Thursday the 15th of September and I have to say, I'm rather disappointed. But the disappointment isn't severe, or recent. (SOME SPOILERS AND ADULT SITUATIONS :) ) So let me explain: The Movie Novelization was very good and makes a fine addition to the Baen series. We get a a...

    What a novel conversation!

    My choices were down to Action Stations and False Colors, though choosing one out of all the books is about like choosing your favorite child (only the one with the most candy at Halloween will do). I picked False Colors for two reasons. 1: It didn't have any votes when I voted and 2: It was a...
