One day when rebooting a windows update it all went to BSOD hell (random errors, never the same each time). Linux will not boot with random IRQ sync errors. Bootable OS on CD will only boot to completion 5% of the time, and then just halt. I managed to run memtest with [...]

Been out of the computer thing for a while, so I don’t know what’s the best bang for the buck build is right now.
Q9450. Seems like the new hotness?
8800GT was a bargain for performance last I read when it first came out.
Dunno about mobo or chipset.
Help. Seems like nobody ever needs to build a badass [...]

My old computer had Windows XP and Ubuntu Fiesty installed
2.8 Ghz Pentium 4
512 [...]
EDIT: TTest #4 did fail. This was the test with JUST the new ram. I have like 10 errors on memtest. If someone here does have some free time, maybe you can read my thread and confirm that it is faulty ram and not because of my OCing? But I’m 75% sure that there’s a [...]
