Sounds like a motherboard issue to me. Read all your temps in core temp (windows) or in the BIOS and post 'em back, since it sounds like an overheating issue to me. Btw, desktop or laptop?

His PSU depends on what sort of setup he goes for. If for example he choses a quad and overclocks it a bit, 4870x2 and 1hd... Then something like Corsair (or another good brand) around 550w will be good. But you don't got alot of room for more harddrives... more overclocking and blah blah. For example, Corsair 550w would work... But you don't got alot of room and the fan will produce quite a noice... 650w will (quite obvious) give you more room and lower noise. I must say (again), i'd wait for the i7 release because it will lower the prices of the 775 quads and if he feels like (since his budget is pretty nice) he has the option of i7. And yeah, as you said... Depends on what he plans on doing. Something like e8400+4870 would be a great and not too expensive rig for gaming... But depends on what he plans to do.

[hide=hide] the solution at age 25? move out. get a job. the solution for everyone else, and you once they do find out, or if i'm wrong i'll glad post that i'm wrong (i'll be sending a query about this) is appeal it telling them about your parental policies, they'll still most likely ask you to remove the filter. it's basically taking money away from the company. so, i'll post the answer to my query to jagex about this, and i'll let you know the answer. (just because it's online, doesn't mean it's not taking money from a business) ~evil_mu "just a query away from being correct" mm_ra~ You are evil, aren't you? Jagex will only be so dumb as to ban if they want to lose possible customers. (BTW, that group would obviously include anyone who can introduce possible customers to the game.) :shame: I wonder, being that there are children, teens, and young adults who can't use PCs unless they follow their Parents'/School's/Workplace's/ISP's anti-advert policies about those PCs... How much would F2P shrink, which would equally hurt P2P's in-game market rather harshly, if a whole bunch of people were lost because Jagex couldn't understand their adverts being blocked for safety/security/parental reasons? Maybe 25% minimum, or possibly more like half of F2P? Or more??? Yeah, I'm sure you'd hate to see TET's events get kinda small because something like that happened. :ugeek: ~D. V. "Hurting people because of greed for $$$ = wrong..." Devnull [/hide] You seem to have forgotten that the adverts on F2P servers pay for your place on the server.

Hm, if you have tried so much and not gotten any results... My only suggestion is going to a doctor. I've had quite mild acne... Well, more sort of pimples. I'm 20 now, and they've more or less gone away... So either wait or go see a doctor.

Yes yes. I just threw it in, as it's a 3rd company that actually produces very good lower-end cards. Matrox are more focused on multi-screen cards (if my memory doesn't fail me). Intel with their Larrabee platform will be intresting... Haven't heard any news about it in a couple of months tho.

This is the actual GPU. [hide=Actual GPU][/hide] A video card... [hide=Looks like this][/hide] The GPU on your motherboard is not visable, as it has a heatsink on it. Eggzs: There's also a company called S3 Graphics.

Yup, quite easy if you've ever read a review or seen anything from the game... Not many (any at all?) that are similar as this game. Damn, i "love" it so much! Just wished i had a faster gpu for it. Well, someones elses turn to throw a picture.

Yes, it's Heroes of might and magic V. [hide=What's this?][/hide]

You don't mess with the Zohan. Pretty funny movie i must say, haven't seen many new movies this year... But i really liked this one.

Lost Generation - It doesn't matter

Uhm, no. Just simply no.

When i just read "worlds #1 sport?" i thought you were asking about the first sport to be played in the world lol. To be honest, either: Sport fishing or football (soccer).

Breaks easier? What do you base that on? I don't think you've owned enough cpu's to see a pattern to be honest. Both Intel and AMD chips can break, it's nothing new... I've never seen a news/review or anything that supports your claim. *off topic*... I really look forward to Bulldozer, i really hope it will perform good... And if it does, it's going into a new system for me.

Ahhhhhhh you again. You don't read what people write, do you? His budget is circa 300£! *snore*.. i7 uses QPI, not FSB. The AMD he has chosen, is great value for the money. Eggy: Yeah, i forgot about that lol.

If he want's to spend like half his budget on cpu/ram/motherboard.. sure. Yes, it supports tri-channel mode (bit performance boost from it instead of just dual-channel). New FSB technology? It doesn't use FSB, It uses QPI. And, it doesn't just outperform AMD... It outperforms all other non-i7 Intels too.

Moby - South Side (ft.Gwen Stefani) (wow, i'm listening to strange stuff... Bit different from the usual Opeth/Bathory etc..)

Yup, correct. It's made with 55nm technology instead of 8800gt' 65nm=Little bit less power hungry, little bit cooler and a little better to overclock with. Otherwise there's no difference in actual performance. Just re-named to sell more lol.

Looks good. As long as your psu got a 6pin pci-e connector or two 4pin-molex to 6pin (you can buy adapters for a fiver or so), just make sure you got molex or pci-e connectors available. But really, if you got another 10£ to spare i would recommend the 9800gt. It performs better (don't remember how much, some months since i checked a review comparing the two) for a slight higher price, but it depends on how much you game. 9600gt will last a long way anyways.

[hide=] [/hide] He should really wait and see what prices i7 will get in USA. And the psu you listed is waaay overkill.

There's two good reasons to wait for you. 1: See what the prices in US will be for the i7 (where i live, cpu+mobo+ram - the cheapest setup, goes for around 700euros). 2: The prices on the quads (like the one you listed) should drop after i7 have been released. So, wait and see... It will be a couple of weeks until you can buy it. Also; Why not get 1tb hd? And, with your budget i'd spend an extra 100$ on the 4870x2... It performs much better for a bit higher price And you don't need a 950w psu... This will cover all your needs, you can even throw in a few more harddrives if you want to. Case, depends how much stuff you want to fit... Antec 1200 - 160$ or perhaps a Antec 900 - 100$

Intel setup: Mobo: Asustek S775 Intel P35 ATX - 57£ CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz - 85£ RAM: Crucial 2GB 800MHz DDR2 PC2-6400 - x2 38£ =180£ So you see, 120£ to play around with... If you want a new graphics card GeForce 9800GT 512MB DDR3 - 92£ and new psu Enermax Technology 425W 82+ - 49£ That psu would work. But if you plan on putting in more harddrives or something you need to go for a more powerfull psu. AMD setup: Mobo: XFX AM2+ GeForce 8200 MATX - 57£ CPU: AMD PhenomX3 8750 2.4ghz - 89£ Intel: 321£ AMD: 325£ So you see, same price. I'd choose the X3, but that's me. Oh and, why i'd choose an 4850? Because the price/performance is awesome. It offers so good performance for the money you pay. EDIT: By the way, what sort of case do you got? Because if you got a midtower, you'll have to pick another Intel mobo... Smaller mobos fits in bigger cases but atx mobos doesn't fit in smaller cases.

I have this one, c2d @2.5ghz, 1 hd, 8600gt... Got about 10min backup on that setup (dont really remember the exact time, got it hooked up to another pc atm).
