Finished the main story arc after about 40 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure yet if I'll go around and complete some of the unfinished side quests but I do greatly appreciate that they leave you the option, unlike the previous games where you had to reload a pre-final-mission save in...

So I've just played through ME1-3 recently for the first time and am now ~10 hours into Andromeda and boy am I glad that I didn't listen to the bad press the game got. Was almost going to skip it, or at least wait until it becomes really cheap, but I didn't and now this is probably my favourite...

Well I know I was tempted to buy this game but won't, at least not until a patch comes out that removes this nasty DRM. I would probably even be willing to look past the whole Internet connection required bit but only 3 activations, no way to revoke an activation, hardware changes require...

I know geometry isn't considered sexy anymore but does anybody know if Tahiti has "full" geometry throughput under normal (non-tessellation) circumstances or is it (artificially) limited in the same way that Fermi is to preserve value of their professional cards?

I call bullshit on anybody claiming that the moral decay of western society is to blame for this sort of thing. The people that do this sort of thing are mentally unbalanced, always have been, always will be. The only thing you can argue is that they should have been treated and/or locked away...

I'm going to briefly interrupt the bickering about the art direction (which in my opinion is bloody beautiful by the way) with my thoughts on this game. First let me say: Yes! Finally! Ok then, that's out of the way. I've been waiting for Blizzard to announce Diablo 3 for forever and I'm glad...

Ok, so I've pulled everything out, ending up with just the motherboard, cpu and PSU. Shorted the power pins to try to get it to boot but nothing. The CPU fan spins up for a second and then powers straight down (this is exactly all that I've been getting from it in the case now as well). So I...

Ok, here it goes: a couple of days ago I come home and my computer is displaying a rather odd bluescreen - something about an unknown error and no address or anything. So I reboot, hoping it was just a random bluescreen but nope. First time booting the RAID manager thing that pops up had...

Just to clarify, I'm talking about Windows Explorer, the shell, and not Internet Explorer, the web browser. I wouldn't touch IE with a ten foot pole. Anyway, I've unregistered nevideo.ax and I'm keeping an eye on Explorer's memory usage (after restarting it). So far it's sitting at a far more...

Thanks for the reply, that prompted me to have a closer look at Explorer. One interesting thing that I found was that it had a ton of threads running in nevideo.ax and mpg2splt.ax. nevideo.ax is Nero video (codec?) file. Presumably this is related to thumbnail generation of videos. Perhaps I...

I am beginning to suspect that Vista Explorer has some sort of memory leak and I'm wondering if I'm alone on this. I've noticed this ever since upgrading to Vista a couple of weeks ago. For example, currently my uptime is around 5-6 days and Explorer is using about 800MB of memory, which seems a...

Heh, I was getting the disk error on Disk3 in the event viewer again, so I had a hunt around the device manager to figure out exactly which disk this is (being rather worried about failing harddisks and the like). Turns out this is my CF card reader slot and the errors were happening while...

I've been meaning to reply to this thread for a while but was caught without Internet for over a week (ugh!). Anyway, this odd freezing continues to annoy (and intrigue) me. The disk error seems so far to be unrelated (after some searching on the Internet I found this to be related to the...

Actually, no I didn't. How stupid of me. Now that I did... lot's of warnings there like this: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\D during a paging operation. I'm thinking that's not so good. Might be a borked RAID array. It could certainly explain a thing or two. I'll have...

Well its nothing this simple. It isn't just the program that is unresponsive. All of Windows is. I've never seen anything like it and I've had to kill a lot of unresponsive programs. Like I said, you can't click on anything in taskmanager so there's no way to kill the offending program. I've had...
