Computer Jargon

My computer randomly shuts down for no apparent reason either.

It's either motherboard or cpu as i've i've tested everything else.

I hate pc's as it means to fix it realistically i need new RAM, motherboard, and cpu, powersuply

It never usually happens to me but I have noticed that upon new OS install it does it maybe 4-5 times then it becomes completely stable, it must be patches or something that fixes it.

I am now running 64bit winxp pro and I must say significantly quiker than vanilla xp pro.

Btw, I have a Antec True Power 2.0 550 watt PSU and its the best I have ever used.

hhhmmmmmmmm damn pc's

going to try the 4pin to 8pin converter first up.

$10.

hope it makes it more stable :sorcerer:

Well i seem to of fixed my wireless woes.

I got another wireless adaptor. A linksys one.

I now get excellent signal strength and no dropouts what so ever.

Also my computer seems to boot in half the time and is more stable.

I'm guessing that the netgear wire;ess adaptor just didn't agree with my hardware and/or drivers.

Everything was up to date, including firmware on everything.

Ohh well all good now.

Also fishpaste someone from your work rang me today.

Do you guys have any games in stock at all? or is that not really your area?

someone is pulling some kinda random insurance job thing and wanted quotes on crap

have to ask the boss about games, we normally get copies of the new big titles when they come out, but other than that, we dont get much demand for them

wtf thats crazy.. lol

320mb version?

[Pauly33GTS-t]

HAHAAHA your the 4th person I know then that happened to them

[chops]

Yep Joel, 320 meg.

Makes sense really, the 8800GTS is about the same spot in the lineup as the 7900GT was when I bought it.

[Cubes]

Makes sense to me. I'll be buying XFX then when it plays up trade in for a newy free of charge.

[Tangles]

nice score Chops

I gotta say that Im *finally* happy with my Xpertvision 2900xt 512mb from MSY Adelaide.

better performance and quality in my mind then 2x 256mb MSI 7800gtx in sli mode

.......... just awaiting my Vista Ultimate I scored for under $250 on ebay and Im set

[Pauly33GTS-t]

*cough torrent *cough vista dell version no limitations *cough

[Tangles]

hahaha oh well, atm my broadband is so bad I cant even access this webpage at home.

churning to Internode as we speak.

never mind, OEM Vista Ultimate 64-bit for 235 + delivery, guaranteed new and unopened. saw it in harvey norman for $700 odd

crazy

my current XPpro is a dodgy copy. so I guess its time to do the "right" thing

[Pauly33GTS-t]

I've got around 250 xp licenses with me right here.

I'm running XP 64bit at home I wont go to Vista until the proper SP1 is released.

[Fishpaste~]

vista sp1 isnt actually going to fix anything wrong with vista, M$ are being sued over some peice of software they included in vista, and sp1 is there only to take it out!!!! =(

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Well they did just release a new patch which supposedly increased overall speed and performance by 50 percent...
