I would suggest a Zalman CNPS9500 as a heatsink.

fs.Read() will return >0 when there are bytes left to read.

TMAT's on the job.

Um, no.

Uninstall Sunbelt Kerio Firewall. Reboot. See if it stops.

I have no qualms with Dance Dance Revolution, I think that was a brilliant idea. You can spend a lot of energy and keep in good shape playing that for a long time. You're not sitting on your arse in couch drinking cola and eating chips while you're playing DDR.

Sure, except that RyanVM packs do not include IE7.

For one, get rid of that whole calc function. Read the bytes until EOF in 80 byte chunks. Second, you do not need to seek. When you first open the file, it is already at position 0. Everytime you Read, the cursor advances in the stream by the size of the read. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s...tream.read.aspx

To the best of my knowledge, NEC has only ever outsourced to Sony.

do any companies even offer that? Sure, even my local computer store here, MicroBytes offers that. Albeit for a $25 fee, but what's $25 to return a dead pixel monitor compared to it's full price? In fact, even some manufacturers offer no-dead pixel policies. I *think* NEC does.

I made a mistake in my post, individual files cannot be more then 2GB, the ISO itself should be able to grow to the size of the media. More on the topic can be found at Wikipedia.

I won't be suprised to see powerful nVidia GPUs on-board one day either.

Whichever one you get, make sure you get it from a company that can offer a no dead pixel return policy.

The firewall is disabled. Then I doubt the firewall is an issue.

Using an 80 byte byte array, you would read 80 bytes at a time in the stream: fs.Read(bytes, 0, 80)

A DVD and CD ISO are the same as long as the total contents individual files do not exceed 2GB, if they do, they the ISO needs to be made using the UDF file system.

One way would be to swap your power supply with a new one and see if the condition changes. You could also check your voltages in the BIOS to see if they're within spec. Also something like the EZ Power Supply Tester 2 can give you a general idea on your power supply and is not very expensive.

Check in the Network Connections to see if Windows Firewall is active.

Perhaps you have a hardware problem.

I'd check to make sure your power supply is okay, and if it is, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Reducing the default values of those registry tweaks for a "fast shutdown" is the best way to make sure your settings are lost and data gets corrupted when you shutdown.

Which LED?

Unfortunately, I can only access my website (from the server's web browser) when the server is configured to serve files from port 80. If I change the port number to anything else, a page not available error occurs. That's because after you change the port, you have to specifically state the port in the URL of the webbrowser: http://www.domain.com:8080/
