    Halo 2 gamers face Vista upgrade...

    meh, already tired of halo 2 anyway (and i never really did like it much to begin with) making a PC port would mean it would essentially compete against other games in a 13-year old mostly PC-native platform. to me, the halo series just doesnt have the innovation of other FPS games --...

    EVGA SLi Mobo discussion thread. Come one, come all.

    i would assume any cycling would be done within a few seconds at most, so im convinced that its just locked at FF. im gonna lean on the side of the bios. connecting the 4-pin P4 connector actually makes things worse; i just get a little 'fizzing' sound when i start up and nothing else at all...

    well i resolved the power issue (just needed to replace the power supply) but now the board isnt even POSTing as far as i can tell.. heres what im getting: the fans, cpu fan and 7800gt fan are running, so i can assume they're receiving power ive tried connecting the pc speaker both ways...

    EVGA SLi Mobo discussion thread. Come one, come all.

    just got mine and connected everything up, but i cant seem to boot at all. once i power up the psu, all i get is a red light and nothing at all from the fans, cpu, anything else. im assuming a red light means that although the board is receiving power, something might not be right. any suggestions?

    Halo - The most overrated game ever?

    being a PC FPS gamer for a few years, i wont give in to the hype surrounding halo, and i wont declare it "the best game ever", but i will give halo and halo 2 credit for what it tries to do. the halo series attempted to translate the keyboard/mouse formula for PC FPS games into the xbox...

    constant bluescreens: "hardware malfuncion. call your hardware vendor for support"

    another update: i booted up knoppix in order to see if it would give a similar message from linux's perspective: although it did boot up and work fine, the console said, at the beginning, something along the lines of "nmi received for unknown reason 3d" and something about a weird power mode...

    constant bluescreens: "hardware malfuncion. call your hardware vendor for support"

    i ran memtest86 overnight and it completed 12 loops without any errors, but it may be because i disabled ECC as one of the remedies for the blue screen this leaves it down to the psu or motherboard and possibly the vid card

    Don't you wish you had classes like this?

    constant bluescreens: "hardware malfuncion. call your hardware vendor for support"

    the problem started at least two weeks ago and seems to show no signs of stopping. it MAINLY occurs when i play 3d-intensive games, but ive had several occasions (especially recently) where it will happen after a few hours or so of normal use. what irks me is how vague the blue screen is: it...

    The PC is Dead?... Long live the Console!?!

    as far as pc-to-console and console-to-pc conversions go, generally, i believe that the medium upon which a game was first released on is usually the ideal media to play the game on. of course, there are a few exceptions such as the halo series (although halo for the pc was a crappy port despite...
