Where to start? Well, I recently bought a new system and I went through hell to get it up and running. I won't bother you with that story but if you wanna see the spesifics you can take a look here
Anyway, I was just playing GTA: San Andreas when I noticed reverse laggin for lack of a better word. Things would at random interval speed up unctrollably before going back to normal. It got annoying so I restarted the machine and everything worked fine for about 10 minutes then it satrted again. I had just cleared a mission and saved when "wham" the machine just turned off cold without any warning. I don't know why or even if I'm posting in the right section but I figured that perhaps it was a result of a protective feature of the MB. I haven't turned the machine back on yet for fear off destroying something. Help would be grately appriciated as I don't know if my new system is in perril. BTW, the memory in the thread linked to above is wrong because I had to RMA it. I'm currently running with the old TwinMos from my previous system, 2 DIMM's of 256 mb running in dual channel mode (or whatever that is called).
