So he went from typical douchbag (though I applaud the ears) to typical gamer?

Says you.....:P Seriously though, I think this is roughly 75% conspiracy theory, and 25% Nvidia not going about this very well. As an admitted ATi fanboy, I enjoy the competition between the two behemoths, but at the same time I also enjoy the levels of BS that it pulls out of both of them...

Well, the troubles are back. I went a couple weeks with an occasional crash, but not really enought to make me get anything other than annoyed. Now it's pretty much a fight to even play games sometimes. I just did a clean install for Windows 7 and got a few Superfetch, Windows Explorer, and...

I only have about a month on this vista 64 install, but I'll be doing a complete install of 7. I do fresh installs every year or so on all my computers and figure it's probably a good idea to keep the habit going.

Parent of the fucking year. Hands down. (Yes, I'm serious)

I've pretty much solved the issues. I haven't had any problems for a few days now, though I will probably look into replacing my RAM in the near future, but I'll take those questions to the appropriate forum :P Thanks for the help everyone though. It seems in my hiatus from computer building, I...

I've basically isolated it to memory. Now it's just a matter of determining whether it's the sticks or something between them and the CPU. /praying for sticks

I've basically narrowed it down to a RAM issue. I manually adjusted all of the settings to be synced up correctly and had a pretty stable run playing L4D for a couple of hours and then a raid in WoW without any crashes. I did get a few fatal errors with WoW that after checking the tech forums...

Ran a good 3 hours solid with no problems....then randomly two crashes in a row while playing WoW. Still can't really figure out how/why it's occuring. RAM settings seem stablized. Maybe more power to the DRAM?

Here are the settings via cpuz. I just got home from work and it booted up just fine, including using the case power button. Core: 3210 mhz multiplier: 16 FSB: 200.6 mhz HT link: 1003.4 mhz Core Voltage: 1.375v Memory: Link to actual ram for comparison as it's obviously not running at the...

I set everything to auto except voltage, which I had around 1.325 (stock is 1.3). Memory was around 1.65 most of the time. Clock speed was at 3.2 (200 fsb x 16) and HT was reading 2000 on cpuz the last time it didn't crash immediately. Memory timings were auto as well (cpuz had them at 7-7-7-20)...

Ran memtest, failed at the last second but during it, it said there were hardware problems but didn't give details. Then it restarted and went to a screen that let me choose either my OS or do memtest again. If I chose OS, it restarts and comes back. If I pick memtest, it says there is an error...

Looks like it's gonna be a long week >.< I'll give memtest a shot, but the fact the power button doesn't even work leads me to believe there is something more than just memory errors or what have you. *edit* The power button issue just randomly appeared. It worked fine an hour or so ago, but...

Can't run Memtest. Any given boot has about a 20% chance of successfully making it to windows, most just either hang somewhere between loading the OS and logging on or loop back to the boot up. Another new symptom.....my power/reset buttons don't work and the CPU is around 48C atm (haven't...
