dude, i just configured it on newegg, and it’s about $600 or so cheaper.
plus, when you buy parts, you get better overall warranties
evga video cards are lifetime
mobos are typicaly 1 or 3 year
ram is life time
hdds are 3 or 5 years
etc…
I’ve got something bugging me if anyone has any suggestions.
A couple months ago, my RAM died (2x sticks of 1gig Corsair DDR2). After a long backorder process, they were replaced. After getting the new RAM installed, I started getting BSOD when playing games.
Usually the BSOD is gone before I can read anything, but sometimes it stays around long enough to report the message. It’s:
Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_EQUAL
nv4_min1.sys
After googling this error report, it suggests the prime cause of this is bad RAM. I ran mem test for several hours to rule this out and I’m getting clean tests. The rest of the posts suggest some sort of driver, IRQ conflict, or virtual memory problem, but were hazy on how to fix it.
Does anyone have advice on how to proceed? I’m not really sure what I need to do here.
Thank you in advance for any help you might offer.
I have an external HD formatted in NTFS by Windows…
I want to take it to school to get some images off their Macs. I’ve read Macs can’t write to NTFS, so what am I going to need to do?
I turned on my computer today, and now I only hear system sounds (the clicks and the bleeps), but I can’t hear any other audio. I checked to make sure everything was fine, but when I checked in my Sounds and Audio Properties, it says there is no audio device. Any help? I bet you this has to do with me installing WoW yesterday.:amazed:
What’s nv4_min1.sys? I certainly don’t recognize that. NV to me usually stands for nVidia (?), but online searches don’t show anything. This article can help you read the bluescreen text, but that might not tell you much more. The crash files (KDMP?) themselves might be useful/interesting.
I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of problem with my nvidia driver cause by the period my system was running on faulty RAM. I’ve reinstalled drivers though.
I’m thinking a clean format will fix things, but I was hoping to avoid something that drastic.
hey preppy
the videos on your site… is there any way that i can make them compatible with my zen micro video player?
Is that the full name? I don’t recognize the device offhand and thus don’t know what file formats it supports. What file format does it support?
Generally WMP should be able to transcode anything if it tells WMP it supports video. If it just supports AVI or something like that, they would probably have their own sync software that would be expected to do this work.
Nobody knows how I can use an external HD between a Windows PC and a Mac?
It says “wmv” should work…
and by the way, the wishlist, i just realized, is missing something… motherboard. haha
Best budget board: $90 from Gigabyte:

Best Intel run board, and most upgradable at the moment, without going to the Asus Striker and $300+ boards: $250 by nVidia (by the way, these boards will make your GT run faster because of the nVidia bridge… I’ve never tested, but these are things I’ve heard)

Format it to FAT32 (runs slower than NTFS and max capacity, I think, is 128GB or something) or FAT (runs slightly slower than FAT32 and supports a limited amount of space - 32GB perhaps?)
Thanks! Stupid macs! =p
I don’t think FAT32 is limited to 128. I had a 320gb drive formatted to FAT32. I usually pick FAT32 over NTFS because more operating systems can read/write FAT32 drives (OS X, Linux, Etc.).
I think fat32 is 2 terabytes. Limited to 4gig files though. Either way, it will make do for images.
i am using a laptop now and the computer is constantly blowing heat out…this was not a case before when i first got it about a month ago. What can i do to stop the noises? Thanks
Dell Vostro 1400, 1.6 ghz, 2gb mem…hope that helps.
It looks like it supports MJPEG AVI internally? As such you would have to use the Creative Toolbox to convert it first, then sync it. Or whatever Creative interface there is might support direct transcoding (as WMP does when you give it non-WMV files for a device that only supports WMV).
WMP wouldn’t help here, to my knowledge, since WMP isn’t really tuned to transcode stuff to AVI. AVI sucks. 
Theres a guy on here, his name is korea_sf2ce, and he typically has a live stream of people playing sf2ce from korea. The thread he posts in is here

However, recently, he said that his server is broken, and so he cant stream video anymore. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

Alright thanks Preppy. I’m going to have to install the software then and convert… I want to watch some matches when I’m on the go, beacuse I don’t get time to watch everything at home.
About the FAT32 thing, I think the limit I mentioned might be then on FAT16? I dunno… It’s been SOOOO long since I did all that crap.
Thanks.
BTW: formatting HDDs in FAT32 isn’t a BAD idea per say, however, be aware that if yo uhave the Windows OS installed on the disk, you’re going to want it in NTFS, beacuse the indexing that it does makes your drive run faster AND will require less stress on the HDD in the long run
Posted this in the PS3 thread but realised that it can also be classed as technical. 
Ok. Using the ps3 to play some homebrew (well trying) and I have managed to boot up ulauncher and others but cannot get the snes emu working. I know the problem but cannot work out how to solve it. I need a couple of files from the PS2 bios (I have only the Euro bios as my PS2 is euro and so this should be legal - a backup of what I own) namely XMCMAN , XMCSERV and LIBSD. I am trying to use romdir but permission is always denied. Any help would be great.
P.S I own a snes as well but it is in the loft plus upscaled snes games = too good.
Ok, real noob question:
If i install programs onto an external hard drive will those programs work on any computer the HD is plugged in to? Or would you have to re-install the program onto each different computer the HD was plugged into anyway.
Thanks!
