I totally agree with Wrecked Em. I have an IB too, and it destroys movies for so little cost. When I demo Master and Commander, it's like the cannons mule kick you in the chest. This was my first IB and I built a line array with 4 18" drivers. Next HT will have 2 manifolds, similar to...

From 2005 to 2009, I had the max available speed of 1.5Mb. In 2009, I was able to increase to 3.0. I am still on 3.0, with no future upgrades planned for the system in my area, per AT&T's engineers. The bright side? Uverse arrived last year, after waiting for it for years. Downside...

And that matters how? For the record, I have agreed with some of your posts. It's just that I thought the language you used was unnecessarily inflammatory. After all, I'm sure most people here wouldn't want to think about being ruled or lorded over by anyone. Young, old, white, black...

Wow. That's kind of an ageist racist remark isn't it?

That's not very open minded or tolerant.

I think you are generally correct Kbrickley. That said, I think it is more accuate, at this point, with our limited facts, to say that he was likely a racist who was mentally ill. From what I have read, the killer's reported statements would lead a reasonable person to believe he had a...

Totally agree. Luckily for us, there is. If you haven't heard of it yet, do a search for "Worlds of Magic." It is a spiritual sucessor to MOM. Beta has been buggy, but fun. Hopefully most of the bugs will be gone by release.

More jealously... I pay $45 for 3/1. After being limited to 1.5 for years, I finally got the "upgrade" about 2 years ago. After I recently talked to the head engineer in my area, I was told that there were currently 0 plans to increase the speed in my area, even during the next 3-5 years...

I'd take 1Gb for $120 a month.... Then again, I'm currently paying $45 a month for 3 meg DSL. The MAXIMUM speed my AT&T offers. Sadly, I've been waiting for U-verse for years and it just arrived Wednesday! Problem is... I called to upgrade and the maximum speed offered in my area is...

Bingo! That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. I'm thinking that this as wallpaper in critical areas would really be awesome. Then cleaning and dust wouldn't be as big a problem as it is with velvet.

That's what expert witnesses are for.

Due to this error, I've been working for two months on my desktop, testing everything under the sun. Last night, on a whim, I downclocked my two month old 780 and for the first time, I could play for hours on multiple games without a single error. I agree with the others, it is likely your...

I used a program to remove the Nvidia drivers, delete the NV folder, and clean the registry. I then reinstalled the latest drivers using a clean install. Afterwards, I tested one of my games that locked around every 15 minutes in; I played for 2 hours without a glitch or freeze. After I do...

Thank you for the suggestion. I've tried that and it still froze in some games on occasion.

Ok, I visited Microsoft's site and read up on how to look for .net in the registry. Looks like I have a few versions, apparently ending with 4.5. I have one v.4 and one v4.0. Though the version key is different in both. I also reset the bios.

There is nothing in my uninstall list that says, Microsoft .NET Framework. If it's supposed to show up, I can see what one problem may be.... I'll try the bios reset this evening. I appreciate your help with this.

Ran 8 threads for a little over 10 hours. Average for each thread was 661% of 1500mb. 0 errors on all threads.

Ok, I ran the scannow and got: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." Question: what do the .net showup as when looking at programs to uninstall? Are they the XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1 and 4.0? I don't mind trying to uninstall them and re-install...

Sorry I missed the temps and the power supply question. The highest I've ever seen the cpu get is 74C and that was after running the new heaven benchmark for a couple of hours or so. When I was running the Gigabyte monitoring program, the temps on the VC seemed very reasonable, less than...

Yes, I updated my bios to the latest on the website. Right now the case is open to air as I have one panel off. It seems like airflow and cooling are ok, based on the bios reports. What's a good program to monitor that while in windows? I have a nocua D-14 for cooling and I am gently...

Yes, I installed the newest drivers on the Asus website. I have a Gigabyte GHZ edition GTX 780. I'm using the new drivers that were just released. For tonight, I'll go ahead and run prime all night and list any errors if any. Latest freeze, no error listing, but a warning: Log Name...

Here is the most recent error. Kicked me out of the game. Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 5/28/2014 10:07:18 PM Event ID: 1000 Task Category: (100) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Description: Faulting...

Thank you Cyclone3d. Installed the driver off of Asus's support website and ran chkdsk on both drives. Now I need to figure out what to do about the reoccurring errors and exception codes. Any ideas or common areas to check first? Looks like changing the connections for the drives fixed...

CrystalDiscInfo shows my system drive health status is 100% and my game drive is 93% Both are SATA/600.

Ok, this was very helpful. I think I see the problem, or at least one of the major problems. In my system logs I can finally see the application errors. Namely several of my games, though not all, have been "freezing" which necessitated a reboot. The thing in common that many, though not...

Thank you for the replies. What is the best way to check the smart info and the windows event log? I admit I'm still trying to get used to windows 8.1. A few years ago, I had a desktop that changed the drive names on occasion and caused some crashing. After I changed how they were...

Hi All. I've been struggling with some system instability for a little over a month. I've been working to eliminate the VC and memory. I think I may have stumbled across the problem. I've noticed that my machine shows both disc drives (2 SSDs) but gives me the option to disable my...

Thanks for the suggestion of Prime95. I had thought about taking one stick out, but that would involve major surgery, so I've wanted to save that for last (huge D-14 cooler over the memory in a mini-atx case). I ran Prime 95 for about 16 hours and had 0 errors and 0 warnings. In case I...

First, let me say thank you for the suggestions. I set my MB on "auto" for the memory and noted that it was running at 1333. Still froze. I'm going to run memtest x86+ while I am at work today and while the setting are still relaxed to see if I get the same error on the ram. Any other...

Hi all. I have a 3770K system (Win 8.1) with 16gigs 1600 ram (C Ballistic) , a 750w PS (seasonic gold X) and two SSDS (one system disc and the other steam). I have a reocurring freeze problem in a couple of games and I would like to A) eliminate the chance that the new 780 is defective and...

AMD needs to release their Triax models in response. Nice reference btw. ;)

I have to agree with scgt1. A GOTY has historically contained ALL DLC and not just some. I think the normal approach is to finish all the DLC and then offer a GOTY. If I had bought it not reading this thread I would have been irritated. Instead, I'll just wait for it to got to $7.49 or...

What? You would have others base a belief in stereotypes on a drive through? Not very open minded of you Dekoth-E. I would imagine many people from other non-southern states would be surprised to see what Alabama is really like in 2013, as compared to what most television portrays it to be...

Well, I've got to give you props, because I sure never did. I tried on and off for a couple of years before my Atari went into long-term storage. You've inspired me with your accomplishment, so I think I'll make it a personal goal to finally send ET home sometime in the next few months...

+1000. I broke ET out last year to try it again to see if my maturity over the last 30 years or so had made me any better at that game. Nope! It was an hour of pure frustration. D**mn pits!!!! I've beat several of the games on this list over the years, though I've never heard of I...

JD is absolutely correct. Capacitors do FILTER the sound. How much effect they have on the card's sound quality, I personally do not know. However, as a person who has modded several of his own speakers and consulted with speaker designers, caps do matter beyond their fail rate. Capacitors...

In for one. Been waiting on this one to drop. Thanks OP!

Fast, cool, efficient, and less expensive. What's not to love?

Just picked up one of these. Amazon had it at the sale price and prime made it sweeter. Thanks for the heads up OP.
