Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Just dropped $810 on a 670, a dell U2412, and the PSU that danny suggested
upgrade #1 should be complete by tuesday next week :D
Thanks for the help, guys
thanks for the replies, guys
I have a few questions/concerns regarding your gfx card suggestions. I never planned on spending half my budget on a GPU, so I'm a bit hesitant pulling the trigger on a $400+ gpu...
Would getting the 670 or something similar boost my performance significantly...
Hey guys,
I recently found myself a relatively high paying internship for the summer, meaning I have computer-part sized holes in my pocket :cool:
I'm looking to add/replace parts from my build last October/November
Here's what I currently have:
i3 2100 (stock....obviously) :(
HD 6870 1gb...
I wasn't going to buy it just yet, but having a gaming rig that can barely surf the internet sucks lol
Thanks for your help narrowing everything down. I figure that since it crashes after any gpu dependent program is run and the crash log indicates a power related crash, it's gotta be the psu
I'm at school and 99% of the people I know have laptops, so finding another decent psu is damn near impossible...
I think I'll just have to take a gamble and buy a new psu:

thanks for your help...i was looking through error logs in windows and discovered this:
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
I also just ran memtest to 100% with 0...
i just restarted in safemode and was able to open firefox...i was, of course, unable to start the futuremark test due to safemode
this just furthers the my idea that its a gfx problem. Buuut, I still don't know where to go from here
Hey guys,
Just got my parts for my new build in last night, and managed to install windows 7 64 bit after minimal trouble... but now I have problems opening and running certain programs and I have no idea why.
Last night I downloaded and installed firefox successfully. I cannot run firefox...
