Hello, I am planning to build a small ubuntu or other linux distro server for hosting a small portfolio website (maximum 10 visits a day) as well as using it as a file server for me and my flat mate to share files with. Here are the parts I've put together. What I really need to know is if...

Ever since I built my computer from scratch about 6 months ago, I seem to be getting crashes randomly during games that have moderate to high graphics. The games always crash in the same way with "[GAME NAME] has stopped working" message that i can close and doesn't reboot my computer. I also...

No they wouldn't be compatible. They need to be the same card to run in crossfire/SLI.

You can't because that's part of the .swf file which you're trying to embed. The only way you could possibly change it is if you had access to the flash file and their servers to put the recompiled swf file on. They probably have it there to stop people from streaming content from their site...

Sadly don't have another one to test it in, nor do i have any friends with computers that can support it. Think i'll return it, considering i only got it a few days ago, and if the new one doesnt run either then i'll upgrade and get a better PSU.

Just tried plugging in my old 8800GT and that seems to work fine, so at this point i'm guessing it's the graphics card.

I used the asustek PSU calculator and it said at minimum i should have 600w. Wouldn't PSU problems cause other symptoms other than just the graphics card though?

I've just built a new rig with an ASRock Z68 Extreme 4 and a Gainward GTX 570. Everything's plugged in, and when I power it on the fans on the card spin up, but i cant get any image from it. I can get an image from the motherboards built in VGA no problem though. Is the graphics card broken?

Nice spam.

Battlefield 3 fact sheet. if click "Show Press release", then do CTRL+F and search "battlelog", there's a small paragraph about it. You got a clan already Trotter?

Just read a press release which states Battlelog will have an inbuilt "Platoon" feature. Awesome news. Will definitely be using it for this clan

I don't see much point in a steam group as all PC Gamers are going to have to use Origin for BF3. Also want to keep the amount of systems in use down to the minimum (whatever BF3 implements and the forums here, so people can see it here, join the group, then get invited to the BF3 clan). If it...

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that it might be paypal not being configured correctly, and instead of taking payments, it fails and redirects to the page it's been configured to go to on order fail/cancelation(possibly the cart). Take a look in paypals seller settings and...

There are some new issues about the EULA apparently allowing EA to collect data on what you do on your computer and sell it on to third parties, but i don't see the problem as it's anonymous. Read for yourselves: Article Lol bet i just made like 20 people decide not to get the game.
