Help needed diagnosing random shutdowns

^ Wouldn't Windows Updates result in computer restarts, and not shutdowns? I will check that out.

Ok, done. It was already on balanced, but I did a settings restore anyway. Thank you for the advice.

Help needed diagnosing random shutdowns

System in signature has begun shutting down randomly on me. Five times in the past two days. I can't correlate any sort of trigger to the behavior. I was playing Portal once. Web browsing a few of the times. I will be doing normal activities, and then out of nowhere - without any sort of...

Latest AMD Crossfire Application Profile update: 12/3/12?

I just noticed that it's been almost 5 months since the last CAP update on AMD's website: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/pages/crossfirex-app-profiles.aspx Did I miss some major news about them no longer issuing updates? They used to be released on a near-monthly basis, and...

YATT: pizza delivery guy gets no tip; pees on door

I have a friend who delivers pizza in Grand Rapids, MI. Recently he decided to log all tips received during a 3-night stretch. A full half of the customers tipped $0. That kind of blew me away. I guess I give people too much credit. This friend of mine is a good guy, and very friendly.

**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

Man, it's amazing how much an influx of gold can reinvigorate your play. I got my first legendary at P14, sold it for 40m, and proceeded to use the profits to buy 3 pieces that took my monk DPS from 38K to 55K, all while increasing my movement speed to +24% and resistances by about +100...

Exactly half of me gone. . .

Grats, OP. Very inspiring. My math on this says you've lost ~2 lbs/week during that stretch, which I hear is a fairly ideal rate. Is your loose skin terrible looking to you? Or acceptable? Is it mostly in your gut?

Could someone help me diagnose why my cable modem won't get a cable signal?

So, both upstream and downstream is not being acquired? The lights on the modem don't stop blinking and go solid? I haven't been a modem installer for about 10 years now, but the first thing I would have done back then is check my signal meter. I'm guessing there's poor/improper signal being...

AT, help me get back in shape!!

You have pretty much the same guidelines that I have, OP. I've only been re-committed to a workout routine in the past two months and I've already dumped 15 lbs. The only difference is that I have access to an elliptical machine, thanks to my roommate. But if you are comfortable jogging, then...

I'm starting P90X on Wednesday...

I've hit a big wall in this program! So deflating. It's made me realize that my left leg is simply much weaker than my right. I had an idea of this going into the program (due to a couple of left knee surgeries), but I didn't understand the degree of the separation until now. I cannot do...

Choppy Amazon Cloud player streaming performance on Evo Shift (Sprint)

I recently picked up an Evo Shift. I like it for the most part but I'm encountering an issue that is pretty much a deal breaker unless I can get it resolved. I cannot smoothly stream the music from my Amazon Cloud Player. When I go to play a song, it might take up to 30 seconds before it...

Effectiveness comparison: walking vs elliptical

Yeah, you guys are right. Elliptical just seems superior in every way, when it comes to getting exercise. I was kind of hoping that walking had some valuable merits, since it's nice to actually be outside sometimes and get some fresh (and hot) air. When it comes down to it though, I think...

Effectiveness comparison: walking vs elliptical

Good thoughts. Yes, I use the hand grips on the elliptical. And when I walk, I walk very hard, so there's some good arm swinging motion there too.

UPS strikes again.....loses my package.

They are my employer. I'm sorry we suck. If the last known step was "out for delivery" wouldn't that mean fault should be squarely on the driver? It was either stolen off the truck, or they... threw it away, or something? I don't even know how a package can go missing at that point.

**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

Cleared A2 inferno on my monk. It's pretty brutal, and you just have to accept that some champion/elite pack combos are not beatable. You have to suck it up and skip, or reload the map. The worst for me are invulnerable minions. You can't really tank their damage so you're kiting them...

The Death of Handheld gaming from console makers?

Mobile games are simply not "real" games in my head. I don't need to justify that to anyone but myself. They are not fulfilling experiences. They are good to play while I take a dump for 5 minutes. When phones regress from full touchscreen (and get actual buttons), and put out games of equal...
