Still no errors/problems with the Audigy drivers removed. Passed the last stress test where I was running a PiPo scan w/ DIP, ImgBurn burning w/ 3 discs in the que, DVDShrink running compressing a disc to 75% w/ deep analysis and compress video w/ quality adaptive et al running, also had 5 folders open, Mozilla running downloading, and Epson Print CD running but not printing. Shrink was done in 12 minutes, I like this dual core
Only problem no audio

Thanks Men.

Quite a few European countries are into curling, although I can't personally stand it. It usually involves a lot of drinking though, which is it's only bright spot
Watching paint dry IMO, now hockey.... or Canadian Football!! -
I wish Canada would be able to table a team worth talking about, unfortunately if it doesn't involve sticks, ice and fighting we aren't that good. Would be nice to at least make the worlds biggest sporting event, no fun beating the Americans in hockey all the time

I've been wondering about the vid card also, drivers are up to date, but apparently some people are having issues with nvidia drivers and dual core processors. I played FarCry for an hour the other night with no issues, not that that makes it all right though.

When you hit the backup button in Shrink, it pops up another window, which gives you the option of burning, crating an iso, or creating a hard disc folder. Make sure you have it set for create an ISO, remember where it's saving it too, and then you can burn with ImgBurn when it's done.

Update. So I tried the AMD driver download which is supposed to allow windows to allocate resources to which every CPU would serve best, hasn't really helped the stop errors, but it has started the FSB Multiplier to dance from 6X to 18X. Runs really stable until I tax the system. Cleared the CMOS, have gotten a BSOD after that which was very crytic, said TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN, which from what I've found on the web, along with a string of numbers I wrote down as fast as I could(not fast enough to get all) XXX STOP 0X00000012, which "sort of" points to a Sound Blaster driver issue, but more on ME OS's. As I'd had problems with my old Athlon 64 Skt939 and a Audigy card (could never get it to work without a BSOD), I thought that may be worth looking into. So I've removed the Sound Blaster driver from the on-board Creative card. So far so good, has passed the first "stress" test, compressing video, burning DVD's, & surfing the web without crashing. Nice scans also. I'm not convinced this is the problem, but will happily be wrong.

Erm, what do you like better?

South Park did a great episode also where the boys try to stop Lucas & Spielburg from changing their films for the umpteenth time, where Ewoks are starting to appear in Indiana Jones films

My hooligans lost their first game, about 3 hours after the pick. Come on Brazil....
-
We had a World Cup draft at work today, picking teams to make it out of their respective groups etc. I ended up with Brazil, France, Portugal & "drum roll please" Poland! I like their hooligans
-
I found a driver on AMD's site that is for their dual core CPU's & WinXp, allows XP to allocate duties correctly (supposedly) to the 2 cores. Installed it, working well "so far". Failing that I'll clear the CMOS, thanks for the tip Shamus. This MB has a button to clear it, apparently you don't need to remove the battery, which is kind of neat.

The BIOS doesn't even give the option of what to do when encountering an error, ASUS usually had that option in there.

Still getting the restarts, no BSOD, just reboots. Fucker is starting to piss me off. Tried the windows debug utility, but it couldn't read the files stored in the mini dump, said they were not for it(I'm paraphrasing, at the fiance's). Monitor shows the temps and wattages are fine, and it's not giving me anywhere to start looking. BIOS won't allow me to change what it does on critical stops like some will, I'd rather it slowly go down than this.

I'm on an farm, and DSL, cable etc is not available yet, apparently putting in fibre optic cable, but that's years off IMO. I live less than an hour from a city of a million people, yet no broadband available, WTF? My only options so far are satellite or what I mentioned earlier. That's from a tower nearby that broadcast's the stream through the airwaves within a certain distance. You need to use a specific 900, 2.4 or 5.8MHZ receiver/broadcaster to get it (depending how far from the tower you are), which is where the 500 bills comes from. This tower was stricktly for the local booming oil business, but now have apparently aquired enough bandwidth to less to the local folk. They have the usual claim, "up to" 400mbps for the regular, 800 for the business package. One is 50 per month, the other 90ish, very rich.

Can get hi-speed now, but need to buy $500 worth of hardware first. Will likely do it sooner rather than later though.

Installed the latest video driver and found a utility at MSI's site that monitors the fans and psu output, the generic ones could give me any info for some reason. One could give the HDD temp and that was it. Kind of neat, but not crucial. Downloading the Windows DeBug Utility now, OH! Goody! A dual core processsor and it still takes 1.5 hours to download a 12MB file
"Your only as fast as your slowest component". Fuck. -
Got 3 files in the minidump folder, Doc Watson doesn't give any info on them though. Where can I find Microsofts debug program?
-
It's a 620 watt Enermax, so that should be more than enough. Possibly faulty though. I'll have to find a good fan speed and current output monitor software of some sort. Asus always has a decent PCProb with their MB's, MSI doesn't seem to have it.

I use Spybot and Zonealarm also, like em both, but ewido is new to me, thanks for the tip. Go Oilers!

Had a couple stop errors happen so far on my new computer. First was when I was trying out Far Cry, but I had every setting cranked, and I thought at the time it was probably just an unstable setting on the game. But I just had it happen now, and Microsoft has no idea. When it goes, it just goes black, no BSD, fans all speed up like they do when coming out of low power/heat setting. And she restarts. Cock.

Appears to be the latest bios. Still no issues, it seems fully stable now, without the sudigy driver, which is weird. Must be something(software) I'm running elsewhere that conflicts with it.
