That's my PSU http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ULT31556 Power Specifications: 115V, 230V switchable power supply +3.3V, 28A +5V, 30A +12V, 34A -12V, 0.8A -5V, 0.3A +5Vsb, 2.0A Now i know what do you mean. If my video draw more then 34 A my system will fail. I can play Arma for several hours without crash but as i mentioned every couple months trouble starts. I disassembly box put it back together and runs ok for another couple months.

I rethink everything again and i have to agree PSU could be week link. My is 5 yo and that can ba a problem even if it says 500w. I will start from this side. My question is how much power do i need? As i state before have Q8200 , 4 gig of ram ati4850, 2x 1TB drive, 3x 500 GB, 1x 250, DVD-R drive (currently disconnected) wireless KB/mouse on USB, wirelesses radio mouse, wacom tablet, eizo monitor with USB hub, 2x epson printers px660 and pro 4000, USB headset. Occasionally i use USB card reader and charge my iphone using hub in monitor.Wirelesses USB WIFI card im not using right now. It never happens my PC quit just after connecting any of those devices , even if all of them where hooked up at once. It refuse to start up, or went down when i play arma or use web browser. For sure this PSU will stay with me when i move to I7 CPu next year. 600W or more?

I'm not ruling out PSU, but there is no way to buy and return in my country if you open the box. There is only minor chance they will take it back if not opened. Problem is i have this kind of signs every 2-4 months, so if everything work again i will know after his time period. I did test my USB ports they way you suggested. If they are plugged in to PCI Card everything seams to be ok. But 4 ports is not enough for me, so i have to use those on MB.

I had power up problems before. If my USB cables are re-arranged after unplugging them and plugging back in random slots. My PC is working for couple minutes and reset itself or just froze. I do have additional USB PCI card with 4 slots. My screen is becoming black or in green vertical patter and not respond to anything but hard reset. Its not my video card, cuz i had same signs with my previous video card. I thought it was their fault. But after change i had several crashes with same pattern. My PSU is 500W witch should be more then sufficient for my setup. It's 5 yo old but never let me down. Time to time i do maintenance and clean all dust from inside fun's/radiators, unplug and clean PCI slots and change thermal compound between CPU and heat sink. It seams like helping for 2-3 months and same story with crashes start again. I can suspect my PSU but i already had other PSU (less powerful, like 400 W) and problem repeats. What i have left is heat sink witch came with CPU (original intel) Motherboard, RAM If my RAM would be bad my PC should be very unstable all the time. Its not so its not a case Mobo and CPU heat sink is only things left in my setup i have not change yet. After each crash i chk my CPU temperature and its not overheating. So my conclusion is cheap MB fault witch came with this CPU when i got it from Fry's

Thank you very much. I will now look for them. I dont feel i need to upgrade performance untill summer 2012(arma3). I'm using this box for photo and arma only. So for that purpose my PC is just fine. I may actually kill it yesterday by bumping FSb from 333 to 400 yesterday. Probably MB reset will restor it. Im on the road today and will chk that later evening. From what i read i should be able to bump FSB onthis cpu up to 475(450). Not sure what can i do with memory. Windows performance meter rate cpu-video on 7.6 and my hdd's on 5.4. Not sure if there is way to improving it without hardware upgrade. As for now i have 1T drive as main and rest as photo storage.

Looks like my motherboard is starting to go down. Im not keen to buy new setup but only mobo and o OC'it My current setup is: Processor Name Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 Codename Yorkfield Specification Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz Package (platform ID) Socket 775 LGA (0x4) CPUID 6.7.7 Extended CPUID 6.17 Core Stepping M1 Technology 45 nm TDP Limit 95 Watts Core Speed 1994.9 MHz Multiplier x FSB 6.0 x 332.5 MHz Rated Bus speed 1329.9 MHz Stock frequency 2333 MHz Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, EM64T L1 Data cache 4 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size L1 Instruction cache 4 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size L2 cache 2 x 2048 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size FID/VID Control yes FID range 6.0x - 7.0x Max VID 1.238 V 2x DIMM # 1 SMBus address 0x50 Memory type DDR2 Module format Regular UDIMM Manufacturer (ID) Patriot Memory (7F7F7F7F7F020000) Size 2048 MBytes Max bandwidth PC2-6400 (400 MHz) Part number 6400EL Series Number of banks 2 Data width 64 bits Correction None Nominal Voltage 1.80 Volts EPP yes (1 profiles) XMP no JEDEC timings table CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC @ frequency JEDEC #1 3.0-3-3-6-12 @ 200 MHz JEDEC #2 4.0-4-4-8-16 @ 266 MHz JEDEC #3 5.0-5-5-12-23 @ 400 MHz EPP timings table CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC-CR @ frequency (voltage) EPP profile #1 (full) 5.0-5-5-12-22-2T @ 400 MHz (1.900 Volts) and motherboard is ecs g31t-m1 video ATI 4850 with 1Gb and 6 HDU's, mix of sata and eide What MB should i get so its not cost me arm and leg?

Imho overkill but if it make you happy, go for it.

For gaming ? Is it going to be 8x faster then 1000$ PC? It will last 8x longer before upgrade? Its not chick magnet you can take sturday night out.

BS video. Spit mk9 with tropic filter frm 302rd sqadron fighting early version of 109 from BoB era.

It looks like Michael Bay movie.......

Medevac: It pick you up and drop off at southern airbase. But there is no Hospital. Looks like it have coordinates for old location of base. If you are unconscious , there is no way to get out of this chopper or any other veh, you have to blow them up

I'm in Squad Leader role but i cannot recruit any AI. After searching enemy/suspect , there is no message saying anything was found but distance markers to ammo cache are appearing on the map. After ammo cash is sized/destroyed there is no message about completing this goal and markers stay

turn it off, remove sim card, place in the bag with demoisturizer (silica ,rice w will do) close the bag and pray. Live it like that for day or 2. Problem is , even when you dry it out there is no guarantee all connections will work properly due to corrosion. Ideally would be to disassemble unit and clean it with alcohol but you need tools for that, manuals are available on youtube.

There was some changes made by Dai yesterday. By default you have earplugs and goggles available This is early test runs and as Dai state, when we figure out most important stuff then he can move to adding more weapons and other stuff.

Get Gopro Hero and mount it on a car. http://gopro.com/products/ Buddy of mine mount one on his plane http://www.youtube.com/user/wolfala#p/u/34/7CpnQH-U0hU

Pass is same as yesterday. Ill be hanging in TS, if you need it ask me. As for enemy. As i notice yesterday you guys bring run and gun altitude in to this map yesterday. Its same problem as with insurgency. Its fine for me since we are learning here, but remember it's not domination.

Im looking forward to it. I just hope there will be admin available to upload maps for us.

Lightspeed if you will be ready for friday i would be happy to test this mission Have you make changes to first mission as well?

OMG. Zeno was taken hostage, we have to assemble team and get him out of there!

Lightspeed, Note about Mission we try yesterday "The Dock" As we spawn and depart zodiak, some of us landed on the top of the pier and exposed to enemy. Thats almost instantly blow our cover and start firefight. Turning on engine and move to the beach alerts patrols , since they are like 20m away from spawn point.

I had the same with California wildfires. Each time something happen in California. Media in my home country make "news" about huge wildfire" devastating CA. My family just to call me and ask about this disaster. Well, for locals it was just another fire, nothing special, nothing to worry about.

It's fixed
