I'll check into the RMA with Asus, but I'll have to wait until my brother gets back from vacation to ask him. He knows when we bought all this stuff. I have started looking into other new cards and I realized one thing. At the price point that I have found other 580 GTX cards at, I could pick up...

I'm almost 100% certain the crashing issues I've had with my computer are video card related. I've started running into weird artifacts on my monitor that don't extend to the monitor's settings menu. So I'm looking for a new nVidia based, video card in the 580 GTX range, mainly because I've got...

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

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...

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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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

The Dragons are, apparently, unmanned too.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

@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...

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...

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...
