lol sorry for posting in blahx3. Ok, ima check it out, though now that i recall...

Lu i more then meet the requirements for Fallout 3 and all my other games thus far (though Metro 2033 does lag at parts with lots of particles e.g when theres light cutting through the fog and what not like this; http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-co...33_preview.jpg well actually i guess its more like FPS drop but what ev's)

Metro 2033 required me to update my Nvidia drivers, and on the Nvidia site it said one of the versions that they removed made the fan stop working correctly or something, but the version i got didn't do that, but it IS a possibility.

Also Fallout 2238 kept freezing on me last night too

My guess is that this (with a red circle with an x in it as an icon) is the error BSoD

Happened at 8:21 yesterday, which is around the time i was playing Fallout 3.

Quote:
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 bd0c0ff2, parameter3 b1579610, parameter4 00000000.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
and thats the only one, even though it happened twice. Other then that the only other errors are from a month ago or more of 2 things

1. The NTP not being able to acquire accurate time because its sources are currently inaccessible Whatever the NTP is, im guessing that was for the time change though

2. The printer cancling print jobs silly mom

Now to run scan disk and defrag!

i don't know why would you do this because defragging and `scan disking` (which is preety much useless in any case, since the latest windows pcs run at least ntfs) will not have any effect on bsod

windows xp's and windows 2000 have their own CHCKDISK though, which works with NTSF though, and CHCKDISK is the NEW scan disk

cause there was the original CHKDISK for MS-Dos then it became scan disk for newer pc's but NTSF pc's have their own version of CHKDISK

- Run 'chkdsk c: /r', change c: to the drive you have Windows installed on
That's the manual command for scandisk.

As Fubb said, the program to run scandisk on new PC is chkdisk.

The reason why I recommended that he does is that if he have some kind of HD corruption, scandisk will find it and forbid the faulty sectors after trying to recover the data.

Since his error could be related to anything and everything, it is always a good thing to start with. Not to say that it should be done regularly on any system, and that about nobody knows what it is...

No, he bound it to a table tennis racket with an elastic band, in order that it doesn't hit the wall. (<- Will change it to the right direction with band and hard disk later.)

Blue screens? Just a Windows feature. I don't worry about them anymore.

Wasn't there a borked nVidia update that did something to stop the cooler on the videocard? Kinda remember something like that.

I believe so, but they took the update down and urged everyone to get a NEW update
