One game alone causes hard crashes

Maybe on their official forum. I decided to just give up and leave it uninstalled. So now something else just did the same thing, hard crash. Ugh. I'm going to try to look through logs etc.

Thanks for the replies. You are right that that is my thread. I got a message it has been deleted, apparently they moved it though to a different section. Sorry for being unclear, yes every time it crashes the PC shuts down and I have to reset the power supply before I can restart it. Yes I...

Good news for video card prices perhaps?

Many years ago a friend of mine and another guy I know answered a newspaper ad (that long ago) for a really cool sounding job. They went in and sat with a group of 6-8 other people in a small class type room. Turns out there weren't any jobs, but "an amazing opportunity" to get rich and be your...

One game alone causes hard crashes

The PC game Empyrion keeps causing hard crashes (PC shuts off, have to reset power supply to turn it back on - Event Kernel-Power 41 (63) - when it goes from the menu to load the game. I've done some troubleshooting but it is confusing me. The game played fine until a week ago. Other resource...

New TV Can't select native resolution

Just to close the loop on this: got a Displayport to HDMI cable but it is the same as HDMI - I can do 4k/30Hz or 1080/60Hz, but not 4k/60. The card can do it and the TV can display it but the use of HDMI 1.4 by the card and lack of displayport on the TV appears to be the limiting factors. Lesson...

New TV Can't select native resolution

Yep, thanks for the replies, that is apparently the issue. Theoretically a displayport to hdmi 2.0 cable/converter should be able to do the job? Hoping. Thanks!

RPG recommendation

Thanks for all the good replies. I have BG2 but he didn't like it, for one thing the characters look tiny and text is unreadable on our 1080p TV. We actually just got Mount and Blade Warband, its fun but combat is hard and he has trouble figuring out where to go/what to do next. I'll follow...

My 10 year old son has played and enjoyed both KOTOR games and I'm looking for something similar for him. Can be any setting, what I specifically want is: -A good story with lots of dialog driven interactions -simple combat, so not a FPS with rpg elements to it -cool environments -the...

Thanks, I'm not trying to get business recommendations or anything like that, its not my decision anyway. I was just curious for a quick orientation to the technology so I can ask some informed questions.

Civilization 4

Funny coincidence, I just finally bought CIV 4 and started playing about 3 weeks ago. I'm someone who probably logged thousands of hours on the original, I still remember how psyched I was when I was able to install it in black and white on the old Mac Plus my brother gave me. In my opinion...

You're right, I just buy a lot of used media (books, cds) and its annoying to me how game makers seem to have combined some of the worst distribution features together. But yeah, demos, patches, mods, small indie games, the PC has a lot of advantages. Plus I like the scalable hardware. I like...

used games

I can't resist noticing though, it seems PC games have pain in the ass copy protection, a very limited resale market (compared to consoles), and they get pirated more than consoles. Talk about the worst of all worlds. Somebody seriously needs to bite the bullet one way or another, either give...

Thanks for all the responses. What I'm hearing is no steam and research the DRM first to be clear on install limits. Thanks for your list mindcycle, I appreciate your effort, I wish people would maintain it somewhere.

used games

I'm looking to do a little pc gaming after being out for a few years, I have the sense now that buying a used game is risky because they need a key to activate and the first user will have already used it up. (I'm talking legitimate product like half.com or amazon partners, not craiglist wares...

Make sure you use version 2.11 from memtest.org, not 3.5 from memtest.com. Er, freezing in bios? That's not good.

Northbridge Temperature

Thanks, I just looked at the product description and it only lists CPU Temperature Sensing and Chassis Temperature Sensing so you must be right. I wish it would just say 0 instead of a crazy number like that.

If one dimm works in one slot and everything else fails, that could mean that 3 out of 4 dimms and the motherboard are all faulty. That just seems too unlikely, there must some common problem, I guess I can take things apart and reseat everything, CPU temp never goes above 50. If no other...

new system, dead mobo, cpu, psu, or what?

I'm no expert, but if there's no sound from psu you need to start there. No fan spinning in psu means its not working at all. No offense intended, but is it switched on? Did it accidentally get switched to 220v?
