Sacred

I have no clue now. closed case. install temp monitor that came with MB. CPU temp never went over 46 degrees GPU never went over 60. Ran the game for a good 2 hours straight too.

yes there is need to install that when I get home.

all the fans seem to be working fine though. I can add 2 fans in front to suck in some cool air think that might help. Have 2 fans in rear sucking the warm air out.

Things seemed to be better once I opened the case. I was able to get into NHL 07 and play a few periods. with no problems.

now its happening when I shutdown the computer. wondering if my os is having issues some corrupt files or something. might start with a fresh install then troubleshoot the hardware.

No I am not OC at all. I am not even using the SATA ports at all though.

I am wondering if that would be better thaN MY 6800 gs. contemplating selling 6800 to get that the 1950 pro agp. Have not seen it in etailers just yet though.

going to try my old video card a radeon 8500 64 meg. then see how things go. If I dont have a problem will send my 6800 GS back.

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro AGP Is Coming http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display...1023104107.html

So basically almost anything could cause that error. glad I kept my old video card gonna swap that out and see how things go.

Thanks I am at work but will look at that when get home. at 12:30

Machine Check exception Error when shutting down and in my games like titan quest and NHL 07. Not sure why?

I would electricute myself if I tried to do that. You should have seen this breaker box. had 2 wires to 8 of the breakers. The wires were like going all over the place and were grounded 2 wires to each ground also. was not pretty.

The kids mainly and looking for a house. had the one we liked inspected there were too many things wrong with it so we backed out of contract. foundation was cracked. about 7 outlets were ungrounded. The breaker box was a mess it was only 100 amp but box on outside is rated for 200 amps. a couple other things. Woman said she would fix things. we wanted out so we gave her everything that was wrong from the inspection. our agent got a little annoyed I think but who cares there are thousands of agents in this area, and besides its a buyers market now. Been playing around with Zenwalk a bit. lost all my file on gaming partition then got them all back with some awesome recovery tools. My son is going to be a year on Tuesday so we are having a big party for him on Saturday anyone want to come over. I have Halloween off taking the kids out, might take Friday off to get ready for the party.

hey all hows it going. not bad here.

I know it has already started falling out.

I bought a house.

My new drive is detected by the bios and disk management but does not show up in my computer. Doh. forgot to have windows assign a drive letter.

no 1800xt here

That sounds like a good idea.

Woot got my new harddrive yesterday. I am planning on dual booting with XP and Fedora Core 5 and maybe Mepis I think. gonna be tricky considering I have never used Linux before.

Just ordered a new harddrive. 320 gig seagate drive shouldn't have a problem with space next week. Yayyy.

I think I will be able to make it to this one. over the summer my wife had my weekends pretty much all planned out.
