I loved Thousand Suns too, I honestly think it's their best album. This one is ok after first listen. I think I just need to give it more time.

So what model (or brand) would you recommend for a two-user household? We'll be getting an (advertised) 10m Mbps connection. I was looking to keep it under $100. I'm way out of the loop on routers (haven't bought one in five years, last one was a Linksys), so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I used the above referral link. Feel free to use mine: http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=pagesimu I just pre-ordered; I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty stoked for this game :) I remember playing through the first one and loving it, so I hope I feel the same way

Did you play the original? If so, how would they compare?

Well, I wasn't asking cause I was having trouble; I was just curious. I would rather use my CC than my debit card in case there are any problems. I would prefer not to use paypal at all, cause I'm stupid and don't leave money in there all the time :D Why wouldn't there be a problem with using a...

Are you guys having any problems using a US credit card like some people in the last thread were?

I bought it a couple weeks ago; it's a B3 stepping. Why?

Looks like that did the trick! I turned the computer on around 6 am, and got home around 6 pm and it was still on! I've got it overclocked and I'm running stress tests now :) Thanks for all the help

I think that's the trick. I disabled hibernation and left the computer on overnight. I woke up this morning, and it was frozen, but it froze after many hours (I know because the stream game I started downloading when I left the computer on was 75% done). I noticed the mouse and keyboard weren't...

Has that been confirmed, or are you just hoping?

AHCI is enabled, although I was having this problem in IDE mode too. I'll run memtest for 20 hours or so, but I don't think it's going to show anything. I really think it is a problem with intel c-states or a low power mode. I came across some information about turning s3 sleep mode off during...

So I bought a new SSD from amazon, and when I went to reformat the secondary HD, it froze again. The computer seems to be fine when I'm busy working on it, but as soon as I leave it, it freezes. I really think it is a problem with sleep mode or a low-power state mode. Possibly a problem with...

I turned the computer on for a couple hours after work (got home early from work) and after being on for a couple of hours, I realized it froze again. So I guess I need to run those stability tests over night when I get back to see what's going on. The more I think about it, the more I think it...

Alright, thanks for the info. I ran prime and memtest for a couple hours each last night, and I had zero problems with them. I'm going out of town tonight, but when I get back on sunday, I'll start running those tests. I guess I'll bump the thread when I get back. Thanks for all your help

I disabled hot swapping and set my video card back to stock. I also set my CPU voltage to a constant 1.2V and RAM to a constant 1.5V. I'm running a blend test for Prime95 , the highest core temp has been 54 C as shown by real temp. How long should I let it run for to rule out the CPU? And is...
