Computer crash issue - need help

I recently custom built my computer and am suffering crashes in FPS games. I can have the computer on for hours on end using basic programs like Word, WM10, Winamp, and IE with no problem. This problem only occurs in graphics-demanding games. After playing the game for anywhere from 2-10...

ediOffice Depot 3-day sale this thursday through saturday

There is actually a $100 HP laptop rebate floating around in the thread of the same topic at that OTHER forum you would use instead of the $50 one. Also, OD.com is doing free ship of orders over $50 and many have had success in getting the stores to waive the $35 ship fee for the laptops as a...

Dead: 512MB Kingston PC2700 Valueram $26 AR/PM YMMV OMax-->CC

Well, I had a similar experience as SnoWyV82 did. The store manager (first person to help me) at first said, "Wow, that is a good deal." Then, after she entered all the info and really looked at my printout from OM she said, "Oh, this is from Office Max. There isn't one around here." I told...

Someone above mentioned that since you can order it online it shouldn't matter. I bought my RAM yesterday and am going in today to try the PM. Will give an update when done as to whether they had to call OM. My closest one is 25 miles.

Dead: 512MB Kingston PC2700 Valueram $26 AR/PM YMMV OMax-->CC

Questions: 1. Is it recommended to buy the RAM first, then go to customer service for PM or has everyone decided that the CC rebate house does not care about original price and do just do the PM at the first point of sale? 2. How does one determine what chip the stick of RAM has? Where do I...

The original price was $19.99, which is still a great deal for this cable. I found them right behind the cashier desk in electronics. The only ones they had were the component and an S-video one as well of the Prograde.

The HP/Compaq rebate expired 03/01/04. Also, the link is not correct, there is a "]" at the end that needs to be removed. This computer is on the OD website but no link to any rebates. Here is a link to the special on the website: Compaq 2596US
