    OpenGL Programs Load in Safe Mode, but not Normal Mode?

    I booted up Poser in Safe Mode and it works. Yet, everytime I try to boot it (or any other OpenGL program) in Normal Mode I get a system freeze. What are the differences between Safe Mode and Normal Mode? Could it be that Safe Mode uses less exe files? My System: E8400 @ 3.0ghz Sony DVD-RW...

    Games Crash to Desktop within 10-50 Minutes

    Oddly enough, I can play Mass Effect for 6 hours straight without a single problem. Well, once the the game stopped responding to my cursor, but that was an isolated event. I think this is a software issue since the Sims 2 was made on an XP platform, whereas Mass Effect was optimized for Vista...

    Random Game Crashes

    I transfered game files saved on a 32-bit system to 64-bit system. It was the Sims 2. I transfered all my neighborhoods, cache files, and lot files, etc...that was in the EA games folder. Could this be the reason my game keeps crashing? Should I just use a 32-bit system now?

But it crashes even when the game is not doing much. I was going to test Half Life 2, but I can't find my disk...

    Will my motherboard be okay?

    I placed washers over the metalized holes. I heard later that I wasn't supposed to, and simply just screw the screws in the standoffs. Do I need to take the washers off or will I be fine?

    Will the e7200 bottleneck the Radeon 3870 x2?

    I was initially going to purchase the e8400, but I need to tighten up my budget so that I can afford my college tuition. Is the e8400 worth the added $70? Will I still have good frame rates with the e7200 that won't hold back the power of the 3870x2? I don't plan on over clocking, but if I do...

    I need a cheap power supply for the Radeon 3870x2

    I would prefer one that costs under $75w/shipping. I remember that this card needs 2x3 and 2x4 connectors or something. Can you recommend any? How about this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182032
