whats a number 4?:(

That machine will get nowhere if you dont get that gig o ram in there.

I'd hold off on XP64 till it get's some decent, compatible Anti virus software.

Or are there some good ones out for it now?

Hence the dual boot. Not using the net on it yet, just gonna get used to it until the full version comes out

My 64cpu PC keeps crashing and I can't work out why, it will work fine for games and the like but Word and IE crash it. Maybe you can help, you seem quite knowledgeable.

The screen will go offline along with the mouse/keyboard/speakers but the PC seems to working itself, the disk drives still open etc.

All drivers/updates/bios are up-to-date and it's not a ahrdware confliction. It sounds like somthing has overheated when it crashes but everything is at normal temp according to my Uguru clock

We leave our dell on all the time, we don't turn anything off not the moniter or anything and we've never had a prolem

that's just stupid :\

Der meister ive not heard of anything like that before. Are your keyboard and mouse plugged into the onboard USB on the GFX/Sound card? I think it may be a motherboard or PCI problem, not an actual processor problem. The only problem i get is that WMP sometimes gives me the blue screen of doom, but thats just XP hating me i think. I leave it on for days at a time and all that happens is it slows down

O well.... whats the worst that could happen.

Your house catching fire?

And Phil, I plug the mouse/keyboard/speakers etc into the mobo but the LED screen on it is giving me the code that everything is working fine. The moniter is going into the gfx card which is at norm temp and the fan/leds on it are on.

I have no idea what to do. I guess I'll just have to not use MS office :\

You could burn out your processor.

Mine was built to withstand that kinda heat, it has a heat sync the size of a small planet. Im also considering a backup fan just in case.

I doubt yours was designed like that

Der meister, the only way i can explain it is a loose connection or a faulty DLL somewhere.


I got rejected for a job at Pc World cause i put on my application

"Reason for applying: Because i know more than every member of your moronic staff put together"

Perhaps downgrade your office?

Well I guess my house of fire is pretty bad... But it hasn't happened and i'm quite sure it wont... we'll see

better safe than sorry

Yeah. If you need to use it, then that may be the best solution for now.

Oh man, my dad just ordered me a 60 gig black IPOD for christmas :eek: He even threw in next day shipping so I'll have it tomorrow. Wow this is just as cool as drum gear and I'm so pumped :thumb:

it's not just office, it seems anything designed by microsoft crashes it. Might be because I have a copied OS come to think of it :lol:

I only use it for playing online games really anyway so I'm not that bothered

Thats awesome man, I wana see pics!

You bet I'll take pictures man. This thing is going to freaking own. 60 gigs is SO huge haha. That's as much as the hardrive of our computer :lol:

****ty deal for you man

ipods suck balls i got one :(

atleast ur getting one free

They aren't as bad as everyone is making them out to be.

RAM is cheap, man... I can get 512MB for about $60 Canadian... or is that a gig for $60? lol, one or the other.

iPods aren't actually that great. I've heard a LOT of bad things about them... like, when the battery dies, it's practically cheaper to buy a new one than to replace the battery.

Don't you recharge the battery...

After two years the battery completely dies. You can't recharge it.

^ He ment that after a certain amount of time the battery just stops working and won't charge anymore.

I just use my car stereo, and battery (What a concept!)

But, still, if you pay $300 or something for an electronic item, you expect to at least be able to plug in new batteries...

yeah, most definately....

I just found out what drum related stuff I'm getting for Christmas (I accidentally looked on my parents' Musician Friend's order tracking).

Zildjian A 18" thin crash
Zildjian A 16" thin crash
hardware bag

Can't wait until I get to use them in a week.

sure, accidentally. we all believe you :) congratulations man

Awesome, PM. Have fun with the crashes.

I want a true crash cymbal, instead of a crash/ride.
