but MS shouldnt put out drivers that are bad and not tested properly..

its the SATA driver. i just dloaded it the other day and have gotten a few BSODs due to it.. i decided to research it and many other people are having the same problem.

http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...71&code=014 i used to use this one and it worked very well

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...0&Tpk=vc-re not sure if this will fit, but its a great heatsink/fan edit: this one won't fit. a cheap one would be this.. not sure how good it is tho but it should get the job done http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835103015

so what video card is it.. i've never played socom but it looks somewhat similar to counterstrike of battlefield..

i havnt tried pinging it, but the mouse freezes and the keyboard does nothing and the clock doesnt count up.

im not sure if this classifies as going against the rules.. but you could grab an illegal key just to be able to install it, then insert the registry key and hope it works.

the comp is clean, i cleaned it out last week when i installed an 8800gts. i ran memtest last night and it was fine. it hasnt done it yet today.. only yesterday? i wondered if my paritions were to full, they were all on red so this morning i deleted alot of stuff that i didn't need, and now it's better.. i don't see why that would cause a problem tho.

why? that's soo cheap! have you guts even checked out the price of 2x1gigs of ddr3? $400 for the cheapest set at newegg.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....amp;srchInDesc=

this is the only error. it just started yesterday.. no updated drivers.

this is soo annoying! just starting today i'm getting this error. windows would just freeze up randomly and i would have to restart, no BSOD or anything. i even reinstalled vista! still getting this. i hope my hdd isn't going! it's only a few months old..

lol, the main purpose of my computer was'nt for gaming. but don't get me wrong, gaming is a large part of it, hence the 8800gts i just got i barely play games on it, im too busy doing other things such as coding or reading up on things.

ah sorry there zxian. for a workstation with xp 512mb is perfect and for vista 1gb is perfect. for ppl who game like me on vista, you really need 3gigs.

some of those arn't all that recent.. anyways GRAW2 and Rainbow Six: Vegas are some newer shooters with sweet graphics.

well i would say that you need at least 3gigs if you have vista.. with xp lots of people have 2gb of ram b/c the need it, xp only uses like 300-400mb of ram.. vista uses close to 1gig of ram, so if you have 3gigs of ram, that is a little more free ram than what you had for xp.. all i know is that i will be going 2x2gigs for my next pc.

i was going to say the same thing. asus has one of the best designs in the whole motherboard business.

well what drives did it compair? was it seagate's 7200.9 or 7200.10?

by BT you mean Bluetooth? does this happen when it's plugged in and not plugged in?

there are no ram slots.. but what i want to know is what is under the ram heatsink? are there slots there? if so, how many?

my seagate 320gig sataII drives rocks! i have a few seagate drives and they have been the best for my. WD is also another favorite. i highly suggest on getting this drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822148136

ya i saw the video review of it with an asus guy. suppose to be fairly cheap too, compared to buying the ram separatly. it is hand picked ram that should overclock very nicely and stay very cool.

well that's just drivers.. maybe there is nothing new to add to them..

haha, good one

ya, it is simple to do, but i would never do it b/c i don't like the rating system

so when you go to your display settings, it only shows 1 monitor? try going into the nvidia control panel and forcing tv detection.
