I fixed it. :)
Dunno what exactly was the problem, but I cleared the GPU and chipset drivers again and reinstalled the latest. Everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks everyone!
I completely wiped the driver and reinstalled. Morrowind works fine with fewer pauses (only when it loads a new town or something) but Far Cry and Half Life 2 run horribly. I was running both games on high settings flawlessly before. Now both slow down (especially in the outdoor bits of Far...
I have a BFG 6800 OC with latest nVidia drivers installed. For some reason most games I play (Half Life 2, Morrowind) occasionally pause for a few seconds and then resume. It is incredibly annoying. What is wrong and what would I do you fix it?
I'm going to be purchasing the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard and an AMD 64 3000+ CPU soon. I have heard many stories about people receiving their K8N and having to RMA it because it did not work. I do not want this to happen to me.
Would it be wise to buy a combo at Mwave.com (mobo + CPU)...
Bronze comes with everything the retail version does.
You can download it more than once as long as you are on the same Steam account.
I believe there is a way to back up the files on to a disk, but I'm not sure.

Get that and a nice heatsink with fan (http://www.jab-tech.com/customer/product.php?productid=2921) for about the same price as retail. But you'll have a cooler CPU and possibly...
I got mine today from Techonweb. Despite what the information says, there are 3 fans included! I don't exactly have all my stuff to put in the case, but it sure is nice to look at. :P
Way too much for the case, especially since you won't use the PSU.
Suggestions: Something by Antec. These are nice.

Antec P160...
Very nice. My P180 should come tomorrow (if FedEx ships on holidays. Edit: dammit! I just read that they don't). Bought it from Techonweb, too.
Two questions. The Techonweb product info sheet said the P180 came with 2 fans instead of the 3 stated on Antec's site. How many did your package...
Gift or are you buying it yourself?
What size is that harddrive? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=22-148-034&depa=0 ?
What OCZ RAM type? Gold I'm guessing.
Might as well use this thread for something useful :D :
I am buying my motherboard retail, but I cannot decide between these two:
MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM Socket 939 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130468
and
DFI UT NF3 ULTRA-D Socket 939...
Yeah, I've had that in my bookmarks since I started planning this PC. :)
I've taken apart and put back together one computer. But that was some monster from the early 1990's. I doubt it would be much like today's computers. :P
A few of the parts I am buying for my PC are OEM (mostly because I cannot find a retail version.). It would be a great help if anyone could tell me what cords I will need to connect these OEM pieces:
Floppy drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=21-103-203&depa=0)
CD/DVD...
Mayhaps.
I just ordered from there, too. I haven't heard any complaints about the site's sale of the P180 on SPCR (which is where I found the deal, on backorder, 2 weeks ago.), so I doubt the case will be supremely gutted.
I can't speak for your CD-Key problems, but I can tell you that VALVe axed the WON servers used by Half Life (and mods) after Steam released. That's why your friend couldn't update and see your server.

AMD Athlon 64 2800+ Socket 754
DFI LANParty which is an option in the bundle (Click the second dropdown box).
Kingston DDR 400 Value RAM (512mb X 2). Also an option in the bundle. Last dropdown box.
It adds up to about $385...
I will soon be replacing my old mouse with the Logitech MX510; which I am quite excited about. My current mouse, I just noticed, has a tag on the cord saying "WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead. Wash hands after handling." :-/
