Yep, it still freezes after booting in dual core mode. I'm guessing this is just another bug bethesda hasn't discovered and/or fixed yet.

Actually that's what I was doing and it didn't seem to fix the problem. Although that method did work for someone else who seemed to have the exact same thing going on....

Thanks a lot, I'll test that in a bit.

I recently bought a q9550 and am very pleased however I've been having a problem with Oblivion where the cursor will freeze. (The rest of the game continues to run fine, I just can't move my cursor). This game ran perfectly with my previous CPU and I only started experiencing this problem after...

Ah, I found the antec manual and read this statement. "The external exhaust fan remains off to make sure your computer maintains a quiet computing environment until the power supply senses the required temperature to turn on the external exhaust fan." I guess that explains it... I'm still...

^ Because I wasn't sure where this question belonged and was kind of panicking and looking for a quick response. Which one should I delete? I am absolutely sure that the fan is stopped. I don't know why it would stop, is there a way to turn it back on?

I just noticed that my PSU fan was not spinning. I'm not sure how long it's been like this and I have noticed the box getting a little hot in the past. My system still runs fine and I've experienced no random shutdowns or anything out of the ordinary. How serious of a problem is a broken PSU...

Yea I figured I'd be ok as long as I didn't overclock it. I'm just going to run it on my 667 sticks until I get some more money to upgrade them. I'm running my e6300 at 333 fsb now and all is well... Thanks for all your input sdsdv.

Alright, I've decided to buy a q9550 and just have one more question. Will it be compatible with my pc2-5300 (ddr2 667mhz) ram sticks? Do I need to upgrade to at least pc2-6400?

Specs are: 500W Antec Smartpower GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R C2D e6300 OC'd to 2.33GHz 2x1gb corsair ddr2 667 8800gt 512mb I'm looking for a decent, affordable upgrade that will work on my current motherboard. I'd prefer to stick with 2 cores but am open to all suggestions especially if...

Well obviously there's something wrong with his vid card. I'm just wondering what caused this though. If he wants to avoid this problem again say if he gets a new 8800gt should he buy a more powerful PSU, maybe something around 500 or 550w compared to his current 300w? Or do you think...

bumping.... I'm looking for any input you guys might have.

Haha I had a geforce 2 ti as well that allowed me to play Black and White smoothly. That made me really happy. Few years later I got a geforce4 ti 4200 which was pretty awesome. Probably the best card I ever had for its time was the ati 9800 pro. First time I had a beast machine and I loved...
