Yeah, 450 is right, because today the 8800gts totally blew right the fuck up. After a long time of no weird crashes and video errors, the card finally gave out completely today while watching a starcraft tournament live stream. The monitors blacked out after the entire screen turned to magenta...

Thanks for all the replies ;o I think I figured it out... I rolled back the nvidia drivers to version 197 and all the problems have disappeared. For some reason my 8800GTS does not like any drivers beyond that version, and will freak the fuck out with anything recent. I updated my drivers to...

I updated the drivers, which didn't seem to do anything. And the card has no issue running Starcraft 2 as far as I can tell.

I recently upped my work station's monitors to 2x 1920 x 1200 displays. One is in portrait for ze codes, and the other is in landscape for ze arts. Since I've made this change, I've been having all sorts of problems with my video card... it seems to be running out of texture memory or...

All I can offer is that I've seen two clicking dead drives get revived from freezing. One was alive for about 20 minutes, and the other lived for about 3 hours before clicking again. If you get it working, you gotta work fast.

I don't think I can smash it with a hammer and get a replacement ;p

Hmm I'm trying to boot into a liveCD of Knoppix but it's getting hung up on "Starting ADRIANE screenreader..." with no progress past that point. The BIOS can't even see the hard drive so I'm guessing the whole thing is done. I've heard that WD's RMA system is pretty awesome, but does...

I've tried it both the external eSATA adapter and plugged right into the motherboard of a different computer.

This morning I had a USB card reader that wasn't working on an OSX laptop, so I plugged it into my PC. My PC then went bonkers and everything slowed down to a crawl, so I unplugged the card reader, and the lag didn't let up. I then unplugged everything from the back, including a eSATA hard...

There's a fair number of people having ram detection issues across all x58 platforms... http://i4memory.com/f54/asus-x58-6-12gb-memory-overclocking-detecting-less-memory-than-installed-19200/ http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=82274...

I just made this jump almost exactly the way you have planned, trisscross. I went from getting 50-70fps on medium settings in L4D2 (q6600 at 3.2ghz 8800gts), to 200fps on maxed out settings. Starcraft 2 also runs at a solid 120fps with Ultra settings. The differences are I have a 5870...

Just updated the BIOS today. And yeah, I think it was setting those timings because it wasnt running at 1600mhz by default. The problem only appears on a cold boot so I won't know for sure if the problem still happens with the new bios until tomorrow.

I haven't reseated anything yet, but here's something weird... All 6 gigs are being recognized today. When I look at the dram timing control though, it reads 7-7-7-20 in the "1st Information" which isn't at all correct for my ram.

Since the MX518 came out I have sworn by it. I've tried new mice by logitech and razer over the years but every time I just end up going back to the mx518. I get kicked from servers in every FPS I have played for having an "aimbot" : )

I disabled XMP and went to manual, still showing 4gb. AthlonX2: Were you showing 4gb in windows, and the BIOS, with 6gb in CPU-Z? Also, I ran a memtest last night and memtest detected all 6 gigs and it ran 10 passes with 0 errors. Guess I'll have to reseat the CPU.
