    ASUS Z77 Motherboards - Official Support Thread

    Sadly, that didn't help. Tried it twice with no impact.

    ASUS Z77 Motherboards - Official Support Thread

    Hey everyone. I'm having issues with my P8Z77-V where it takes a long time to reboot or shut down. I can't put it in sleep mode because it will just hang and I'll have to cold reset it. I've got version 2003 of the BIOS, i5-3570K, 8GB Corsair RAM, and a Geforce 770 video card. The wifi module...

    What games have you stopped playing because of severe bugs?

    Damn. Burnout Paradise is one of my favorite games of all time. Sucks you had all those problems. :(

    What games have you stopped playing because of severe bugs?

    While I hadn't run into any large glitches, I did take a break from Skyrim after they announced what the 1.4 patch would contain. Up to then I had been doing more exploring than questing, but I was starting to focus more on quests, so I figured I'd wait for 1.4 to fix up a bunch of quest and...

    xbox360 hard drives

    Amazon's had several sales lately where you buy a 4GB Xbox/Kinect bundle, and they give you a $100 credit. I used the credit to buy a 250GB hard drive. You might want to see if they're offering the same deal or maybe wait a little bit to see if they offer it again.

    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Announced for release on 11/11/11.

    I'm at 80 hours played and have done a ton of exploring and individual quests, but feel like I've barely progressed in the main or faction quests. I think I'll start trying to focus on them, but damn if it isn't easy to get sidetracked. I went to Falkreath to continue the Dark Brotherhood quest...

    Metro 2033 or Portal 2?

    Sums it up pretty well. I'll just point out that Metro 2033 has some FANTASTIC atmosphere, especially if you play it with russian dialogue and english subtitles. The sense of vulnerability and loneliness when going onto the surface is unmatched. It's also one of the best looking PC games I've...

    Which preorder bonus for Red Dead Redemption are you going to choose?

    I got it at Amazon. Free release day delivery with Amazon Prime, and $10 towards my next game purchase. I get most of my games from them nowadays.

    response from avg. gamer's about the IW recent news...

    The vast majority of people probably don't even think about the fact that there are real people constructing these games for 2+ years at a time before it shows up on retail shelves. They see "Call of Duty", and they buy it. It's only the hardcore who know the difference between Infinity Ward and...

    PhysX in Batman Arkham Asylum

    I wasn't sure if I should put this in the PC gaming section or not, but if the mods feel it should be moved, I won't complain. :p I currently am running a Q6600/GTX280 setup and was thinking about getting a second card to allow me to turn the PhysX effects to their highest. I haven't been...

    Batman Arkham Asylum, PC or Console :o

    I'm forcing myself to wait for the PC release. I keep hearing how awesome the game is though, which is encouraging. However, if I find a deal for the console version before the PC version is released, I'll probably pick that up instead.

    Happy Windows 7! How'd your install go?

    True, but I'm not convinced it'll fix my problem. Like I said, the message asking for a CD/DVD driver went away when I switched to PATA. It still doesn't see my hard drive.

    Happy Windows 7! How'd your install go?

    I've been having a LOT of issues. Every time I boot from the DVD it spends about 20 minutes at the Starting Windows screen. Then the initial screen comes up, I choose English, then click Install Now. After that it spends another 20 minutes or so thinking hard about... something. The first...
