I approve of the Eddie Izzard clip

In other news my flash drive decided to eat it today... thankfully it is a corsair and they have basically a no questions asked replacement policy. Unfortunately I still get shafted by return shipping.

That reply was brief because I typed it on my phone while eating. Elaborating on the RAM bit, my ram was sold as DDR3 1600 and 1.65 v and intel claims that that would cause it not to boot with my processor but my motherboard recognizes it as 1333 and 1.5v so I am just suspecting that kingston ...

Got the replacement 2500K and it works fine, also my ram was recognized as 1333 and 1.5 volt so it is proper spec

Should I still consider getting it tested if it is a new Corsair HX850?, I thought it was a pretty good quality PSU. The cpu won't get sent out til friday from me and has a few day turn around so I have some time to order a psu tester.

Second, any recommendations on a psu tester? what about ...

Update:

New motherboard came in, rev 3.1 instead (different usb 3.0 controller I believe)

Popped it in and got it to power up with a lovely CPU error light.

So now to see about RMAing my processor.

ASUS is going to RMA the motherboard and because of its price they will cross ship it so I dont have to figure out how to safely store a CPU in a dorm room without its original packaging.

To add a little more

When I press the mem ok button it does nothing

If I unplug it for a bit and plug it back in and press the power button the cpu fan twitches for a split second then nothing

If I unplug the 8 pin cpu connector it seemingly comes to life minus the fan not being ...

I was wondering if any of you could provide some insight as to why my sandybridge built shut down suddenly and wont boot.

I was about to hit shutdown after updating to the latest beta nvidia drivers in an attempt to get something to work, before I can click the button the power suddenly cuts ...

Oh licensing... Clearly it is better to have a unnecessary connection/point of increased resistance than have reasonable licensing...

Picked up L4D2 for 4.99 for the sister.

The whole pack is not necessary. Just get the original. It's a strong candidate for best game of all time.

Picked up the original and downloaded a DirectX 10 Renderer at the recommendation of Paradigm and played through the tutorial. Will probably start the game tomorrow.

Thinking of picking up Deus Ex for 2.50 given I never played it...

It is 5 bucks for the whole Deus Ex pack.

Really? I liked Trine a bunch. Torchlight I didn't touch up on. I probably should have.

Looks like the other laptop is capable of handling Trine, thank goodness... and managed to get the achievement and earned a ticket.

Sorry the edit was about torchlight.

I downloaded Trine and it ...

Thinking of picking up Trine, trying the demo (I have 21 hours to decide). For some reason I didn't pick up torchlight yesterday.

EDIT: Nevermind, looked at screenshots, I remember trying it and not really caring for it. Not a huge fan of MMORPG style RPGs I prefer games like fallout ...

Just to be wary the Steam Subscriber Agreement says:

which would allow them to potentially terminate the account.

Picked up the Bad Company 2 pack.

Regretting not buying Oblivion yesterday but I am not sure I have the time to put into a game that long.

If L4D2 goes on a larger sale will probably buy a copy for the sister same with Bad Company 2.

Hmm, I am also wondering if it is a driver thing. I played through at at 1920x1200 at fairly high settings on my 2.4ghz macbook pro with 8600m GT 256MB and I think I used vsync without lag.

I may give it a shot later maxed on my GTX480 with vsync and see how it acts (I have it on steam also)
