It's a DLL problem related to DirectX. If you go and find the actual executable file for trackmania it will tell you which file is the problem. Or just reinstall the latest direct x and you'll be fixed.

I was using vista 64bit ultimate for gaming for a while. It ended up crashing hard, and some really odd things started happening. Went back to 64 bit xp and all was fine. I was quick to pass judgment blaming the Os, but it turned out my vid card would cause drivers in Vista 64 to become corrupt...

I didn't read entire thread, but since your current PSU has the quad rail junk, make sure you have the card on a separate rail with nothing else. If this was already suggested, forgive me. Edit: nm i see you are up and running fine now with third card from evga. Gl man.

when did the switch occur? I remember water cooling was the only way to go for high end over clocks a few years ago. But i guess now, with 65nm and soon 45nm, couple with the fact that newer HSF are fcking huge, Guess it makes up for it. edit; I stuck my old swiftech block onto my x2 3800 ( it...

So as i stated I was bored and I lapped the stock intel HS. And I put on another fan. Cores are now reading around 48-49C under full load. Almost 10C drop. Not to shabby.

get cpuid's HWmonitor. Works fine in vista 64, no workaround needed.

New machine is up, and a few questions about these newer heatsinks. To start, I haven't really even kept up with hardware since my last build. Out of the blue a few days ago I wanted a new machine and all the parts came in. Abit IP35 Pro E6750 4gig Corsair XMS2 Since I want to get back into...

edit: nm

I didn't wanna order a monitor online, and no best buys had the 226CW in stock in my area. I went to a best buy though and they had the 226BW on display. I checked on the back and it was an S panel. Told the dude i would take the floor model, and so got it for 321( 10% discount for being...

Or buy some silicon waterproofing spray. I used that when i built a watercooling rig inside a fridge. Some condensation built up around the waterblock and on the chipsets, but i just let it build up, it never hurt anything. My next idea, Is to build it inside a freezer, and instead of...

probably just the boards. Had a board few weeks ago that i had a bit of trouble with, i refused to beleive it was the board, and something i was doing. Ended up RMA'ing back to newegg, new board went perfect. 2 yellow crabs were cought in a few weeks time, you got 3 bad boards back to back and...

------------- problem solved ----------------------------- Older board / proc combo i picked up for a 6th system in the house... but after throwing everything together, its getting no power. Memory, vid card and power supply all work on another mobo / proc. The board seems to...

I ended up RMA'ing the board. This is really odd, I reflashed the bios, and reset CMOS, it let me copy over install files, next reboot, it would freeze on loading windows. Cleared CMOS again, let me get a littler further into the install, but still froze on detecting devices. Tried...

IDE drive, but i have a SATA adapter, that i was trying with both. Tried a few ribbon cables(4 ), and 4-5 different SATA cables. And EVGA didnt list a bios update on their site =(. I just tried 4 different memory sticks, in different slots, 2 were mushkin, other 2 im not sure ( stickers...

I picked up a new motherboard, and since then ive had multiple problems. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813188007 First i installed everything slowly and carefully. I took an old HD, and tried to install windows, it keeps freezings on format saying my drive is...

Im so glad I stopped playing Wow. It seems from the people i know that still play problems have only been getting worse lately.

i like the idea. And not to mention pc gamers are always bitching " i wish i could own those console guys" I consider myself a good pc gamer, and i was decent at halo on xbox. But I knew a few guys that were so damn amazing at halo, watching them play made me think to myself" i use keyboard...

i think it was a big marketing ploy. If they announced another name change to something normal, no one would have said much. with Wii, they really didnt need to market it, it got all its hype by the name itself. Now that it has attention to it, when they do another name change, more people will...

I botted my crafting when i played eq2... =( Macrocrafter was a godsend.

Ive played both, both have there ups and downs, but Wow can be played by a kid within a few hours, Eve ( when i played ) if you didnt do the tuturial, you had no idea what you were doing.

Pretty much what he said. I played the demo, and i like the 360 version alot more, even in 3rd person.

Hard to say. You can justify it by saying games you want to play are on the PC, but alot of them are designed for a console. The fact you are saying you will buy one down the line, is a big hint its a mistake putting it up for sale. You won't make a profit off it anymore, the boom of selling...

I play mine at work, on lunch. Me and my fiance will play multiplayer while we are waiting to be seated at a restaurant. We play during commercials watching TV, ect.

the remote was for a limited time only =(

for what you describe you want, i would start with a core system, and build from there over time.

the flood of MMOS killed PC gaming. Heck I remember it was like a dark secret you kept that you played an MMORPG at the time. Now its cool to boast " yeah dude i play wow, what server you on?" Now every single company is trying to bank on them. Starcraft 2 could revive the RTS market, hell...

I should have elaborated my post more regarding the Blu ray statements. I was more so trying to point out that blu ray would not be the main reason of buying a PS3, as some people seem to think. I focused more on the fact of TV resolutions, after all I bought a xbox 360 and i dont have a Hd tv...

Its Sengoku found a review to refresh your memory =p 'Sengoku gets my vote for "video game most likely to cause carpool tunnel syndrome". It's a button masher that goes on and on - far longer than my attention span. It's a side-scrolling fighter with jaw-dropping graphics but repetitive...

used to be mang, but now its 'mangloid'. I think when i made a Wow character mang was taken and so it morphed into mangloid. I found out 6 months later i had a friend reserve the char name mang on his account and forgot.

Alof of arguments going on here, and its hard to say what will happen and what won't. The only thing I personally think is true, is that they couldn't release the Ps3 at $400. It would be too much at a loss for sony. They just don't have the resources that microsoft does. And as for blu ray...

wish i could test , but i only have a regular tv, and havent picked up a vga adapter for the xbox.

oh the the regular xbox i dont doubt it, but on 360 is hasnt been a problem yet. Being forced to update to new patches for games, or it discs you from live seems to help. Ill admit i have come across some people in BF2 boosting stats, but thats too hard to stray away from, but i havent come...

Mario Co-Op looks so fun. unless that was where you guys just battle to get to the end first, either way looks awesome.

Pc gaming is hittin the shitter. With all the cheaters, map hackers and crap i was finally pushed over the edge. I completely agree with noid for the costs too.

Brain age is great game. Best 20 bucks in a while. To add: i have problems with blue too, every person i have had try brain age always has problems with blue =(

best buy has the BFG 6800 OC for 255 after IR and bundled with farcry,. Deal expires today though. bought mine yesterday, and unlocked pipes / vertex shader without any issues

unlocking the pipes isnt always 100% successful, it varies card to card. You may have a card where, you wont be able to unlock them.

bought a BFG 6800 OC today from best buy ( 255 after the 50 IR and bundled with farcry ) within 10 minutes of install. Extra pipes and vertex shader were up and going, and no artifacting in any tested games.. I havent really overclocked the card too high yet. ( 375 / 750 ) Aquamark...

i dunno about 223 being the stonewall, ive seen rare SS's of people going higher using customer bios' and 12.5 i know isnt the limit, http://forums.pimprig.com/showthread.php?t=15360 hits 225 in that pic, and im sure people have gone higher.

my nf7-s is rock solid, Theres some custom bios' out there that are great for it as well ( and overclock alot better then the abit official bios' )
