sorry boss

oh! sorry night crawler happy B-day for yesterday. thats from zeealice she had some issues logging in.

AMD recommends a 400w PSU for it to run but ive heard of people running the card on 250w easily, so should i risk it i always thought they boosted the requirements a bit to prevent too many warranty claims. an HD 4550 draws 25w when 350w is required compared to the 5450's 20w draw and its 400w requirement it doesnt make sense. im looking at the lo pro version with no 6 pin requirement, on of those plug in a play types. thanks for any advice i just want it future proof for at least 6 months i have a 300w PSU if you didnt guess.

thanks i figured out it's a rare prototype of the 4770 model and it doesnt fit in my PC

ooooohhhh i dont like those roads, how many people have fallen off the edge?

i know it's ATI HD 4750 but what are its power requirements and how do i wire it up? oh what are it's specs too? my friend gave it to me and he said it's been sitting in a cupboard for a while. anyway if you could give me any information at all about this card great its the DVI,VGA,S-video one if that helps.

thanks anthony, i'll give you a shout if i need any i usually need the dvi cable for dual monitor.

hahahaha very funny not.

thanks guys the RAM was seated great roco, thanks for the advice though. lil got back from hospital yesterday and the first thing she asked, was "did you plug the DVI cable into it?" and i answered yes and she said that, the dvi cable was faulty and she had been through many GFX cards because of that one cable, she was meant to dispose of it but she didnt get around to it. we'll get our ATI card hopefully soon.

okay i'll try and ask lil when she is out if she knows anyone willing to let me borrow one, i'll think i'll go for ATI next time they seem to have better cards for cheaper.

well, i turned my PC on this afternoon,, nothing abnormal to report, then while in windows mode, the top of my screen went all weird and "broken up" i couldnt access control panel or the event viewer to see what went wrong, i tried plugging my T.V into it and no response from it, i tried restarting it and the PC posted with1 long beep 2 short beeps wich is in my books a graphic card or monitor failure, but is it a graphic card failure or a monitorfailure, just incase i replace something perfectly fine.

i saw that advertised, they said windows XP was going to be supported until 2014 but this is only for vista and 7, somewhat doubtful about compatability. bah! it just gives me another reason to install windows7 tomorrow.

hhhmmm i found went something like that happened it was my motherboard or, the card isnt seated right open it up and push the card down a little more and see if there is a response. its best to do that when the PC is off and unplugged but it might not be that, it could be something totally different.

yeah i was hoping to buy a few new sticks of RAM but i'll wait until lilly is at home and with me, i dont do anything inside the PC until she is around even though she has told me numerous times to just buy it and put it in, dont wait for her. as for the XP/ 7 thing i understand that the 64 bit version of XP is rather unstable and has compatability issues. so i was going to put 7 on tonight, but it looks like i'll have to do it tomorrow or thursday, installing an operating system is something i can do without lil but it's too late and the computer has to be shut off around 9 o clock due to cooling issues.

the PC is capable of either but looking at the requirements im unsure, what do you think Machine name: HAVOK Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

TAW zero has figured it out for you as for the MULE it's a little tank thing you can move around, you can get it on the tutorial and on the second mission. you can resupply from it at any time. so long as you have it under control. you can get it on other missions too but i didnt get that far.

done! i'm officially online and working if only everest would display my CPu temperature

yeah zeealice did that yesterday but it didnt work sadly then along came her accident, it just wasnt her day at all.

on behalf of zeealice "hahahahahahaha" i found it funny too but, you know.

cool so it does just delete the content then.

kewl i love it, i'll download it sometime this week providin i can get my Pc working

does it happen when using the MULE to resupply? it's a common error that happens try using different guns to start with. then try and resupply

stealth force 2 had a cover system sure it was a bad one because you fell through the floor if your in a certain place taking cover. but it was from 1st to third person. i quite liked it, it was cleaverly done you could still get hit and killed behind cover. what i want though is movement sensors like in multiplayer on splinter cell:pandora tomorrow

hi, i have a problem with my PC and it requires a fresh install of windows XP. but what i want to know about is the effects of the "delete partition" button if you get me will i still have a 160gb hard drive or will the number be reduced? or is there a way of deleting the hard drive so i can just install it willy nilly. i cant download programs because the error is due to changing the motherboard and processor. in wich case it bluescreens me on bootup of windows. i am using zeealice's computer (no i didnt rob her, shes my wife and shes in hospital)
