Hmm, do you know of a program I can run from desktop to monitor the temp? I dont "think" I have a temp problem as I run with one side of my case open but you never know. Yes I did clean a lot of stuff out and I dont think its directly related to cpu? as I can put my 9800 back in and the system...

Yes. Fresh install of windows/drivers/everything.

Its not just that one game. Sometimes it happens when I am running internet explorer. Sometimes it happens on bootup/splashscreen. Semi random enough that I can not pin it down, but definately card related because I do not have the problems with my older vid card(which I keep putting back in for...

When I get some time I will try those memory tests, however, I did try the memtest off microsofts site not long ago and it ran without any problems. I just played an older game warlords III battlecry and it ran fine without any crashes. So far the crashes seem to be centered around running...

I get a blue screen every now and then. I am not sure exactly what is causing it. The exact error is this: IRQL_Not_less_or_equal Technical Information: Stop: 0x0000000A(0xc2e0F5B0,0x00000001,0x0000000,0x8050298A) Also Techinical Information: Stop...

Thanks for the responses. It lines up with what I was thinking allready.

O.k. I have never really researched the sound card aspect of my computer builds a whole lot in the past and usually just went with whatever Creative card I could afford at the time. As an example I am still using my soundblaster live! card I purchased in 1999 :) . I havent worried about it much...

After getting a new Video Card I have been having a heck of a time getting my system to run properly. I am not really sure what is going on but I have been reading up on things and have decided to go ahead and upgrade my Mobo/Cpu a year ahead of schedule to fix several issues at once. Here...

I was in the store today and I saw one that claimed to be a wireless version. IE you put the strap on your wrist and something works electronically without having to attach to a ground. Anyone know anything about these and if they are any good?
