Thanks for the advice. I was mainly looking at the i7 for triple channel and pcie 16x2 for sli/crossfire but after reading the horror stories of micro stutter, I'm not so keen on the idea anymore.

edit : Didn't see the sticky. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Browsing, World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, CoD: Black Ops 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Around $1500 total 3) Where do you live? North Carolina 4) What exact...

I've tried every compatibility mode and ran as administrator, but still nothing. I'm about to just say screw it and give up.

I can't get the game to even begin installing, so I'm not sure where I would even disable 3d acceleration.

Unfortunately I had already tried those things, and it still doesn't work. :<

Baldurs Gate 2. e8400 @ 3.6 Gigabyte x38-ds4 250gb WD Caviar 4gb Mushkin DDR2 800 PNY 8800GTX Windows 7

I'm trying to install a game, but I get this error. Internal Failure Error 0x80040707. I've looked all over for a few days, and all of the solutions are from a few years ago. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry if this has been posted, but ZZF has the Diamond 5850 up for purchase. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10011258&prodlist=celebros

Yeah I have a 22" 1080p monitor. Hopefully this lasts until the 5850's come up on newegg. Are they going to be $250 or $299?

Unfortunately I already put it in the oven, so no pics or vids. :( Fortunately it works like a charm now! Thanks for all the help!

I'm probably going to try the oven method. How long can I expect it to work after baking it?

I used to be sponsored by PNY, so I got the card for free from them. I don't think I can RMA it.

My system : e8400, 4gb mushkin ddr2 800, dead 8800gtx, Gigabyte x38 ds4, Corsair HX620 psu. I use my comp for gaming, and I'd like to keep the video card under $300. I haven't used an ATI card in a very long time, have they improved their horrible driver support?

So after a solid 2 years of constant use, my 8800 GTX is finally dying. Graphics wigging out and locking up as soon as I get into windows, green lines all over my screen while booting etc etc. What would be a noticeable, reasonably priced upgrade?

I just got my x38 ds4 today to replace my ram killing evga 680i board, and unless there is something new with these motherboards, I think it might be doa. Are there any lights actually on the motherboard? I've tried and checked pretty much everything. Any ideas?
