I am looking for something like Rise of Nations, Empire at War, etc. that combines real time battles with the larger turn based map with resource management, attacking and conquering different territories, etc. I heard that Medieval II: Total War was very good, any other suggestions?

I tried the other slots before I got this new RAM, (that being said maybe my old RAM was okay too, I'm guessing it's a mobo or BIOS problem). However, I remembered that the incorrectly plugged in Firewire port was causing problems, so i unplugged a front panel audio connector. I had this...

Well I guess I spoke too soon. I was just sitting here with pretty much just a browser and pidgin open, and I got that memory management error BSOD. Where do I go from here? :( I saw someone up there recommended 2V for the RAM but I looked at the specs on Newegg and it recommends 1.8-1.9 volts...

I started testing for artifacts in ATi tool and it just seems to sit there with that cube like thing, but it's not moving, although the card temps are going up? Is it supposed to do this? After it got done installing it said it might not work properly because it wasn't "digitally signed" I...

Oh, alright that works since I am already using Rivatuner for temps and then I can just use it for OCing too. Thanks.

I know most people use ATiTool now, but as far as I know, this only works in Windows XP. I also know that people used to use rthdribl or whatever it was, but what is the new standard that is also compatible with Vista. Also, what would be the usual amount of time needed testing to really say...

Upped the voltage for the memory from 1.8 to 1.9 and run Windows Memory Diagnostic. It passed with no problems, so I'm assuming that fixed that problem. :) It's weird though because the RAM is rated at 1.8-1.9 volts, so I would have thought it would be fine. Thanks for the responses.

I will look at the memory voltages and timings, but assuming I wanted to update the BIOS and didn't have a floppy drive, how would I go about it? Edit: And everything has been at stock since I got the computer BTW.

A few questions Sorry this will be kind of long but PLEASE read and try to help me out, I'm pulling my hair out over this stupid thing, and it's probably some noob mistake. 1. First and most importantly I am getting random BSOD. I had them before (I forget what the exact message displayed...

Thanks for the responses. Ended up all I had to do was re-seat the card. :)

It appears other people are having the same problem, but what makes it especially weird in my case is that I had the card plugged in and working for almost a week. Then I started having problems with my RAM, so I went in to adjust some of that and after plugging the computer back in, all I get...
