    John Mellencamp Likens Internet to an A-Bomb

    I can't even believe how stupid that statement is. Insensitive, too. Likening hundreds of thousands of deaths to the semi-downfall of the stupid money-hungry music and movie industries... get out of here with that crap.

    Help with crashed i5 750 build

    Well you never know what you're gonna get with Fry's customer service. I figured asking for an exchange would decrease the chances they'd try and make me RMA it. But you're right, I'm too lazy to make two trips to Fry's anyways. So I'm gonna return it this evening. Thanks for your help everyone.

Any idea what caused this? Too much OC? It...

    Help with crashed i5 750 build

    Hey all, I just put together a Core i5 750 and MSI P55-GD55 mobo with 2x2GB Kingston DDR3 1600 8-8-8-24/1.65v and my old GTX 260. Board kind of sucks but I got it practically free as a combo with the i5. Got it running at 4GHz stable (200x20) at 1.35v (as high as the board would go) and the RAM...
