So i thought i'd get some online gaming of MOH:AA going. after realising that there was no OBJ matches with pings better than 250, i went to join a 'freeze tag match' I watched for a few minutes, because i didn't understand what the hell it was about. Once i thought i understood, i press ESC to join a side.

Nope. Frozen. Sound frozen too. Great.
Reset. Nope. Fuck. Power off. Restart for 5 seconds of power. Fucker. Power on for 1 sec. Then power button does nothing. My GA7VAXP is a ex-GA7VAXP. It's passed on! This GA7VAXP is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, It rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the desktop it would be pushing up the daisies! It's computer processes are now history! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, It's shuffled off it's mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-GA7VAXP!!

CRAPFUCK!

Next weekend, Guildwars Weekend Beta event. And it may go for the whole week as a suprise. Then the following week is a X. Shit.

So i have a XP2800+, a 512 stick of 400, fx5600... and no mobo. :( .I want one with raid on it. Any suggestions on makes n models and so forth guys?

i'd steer clear of gigabyte man, as i think you've just learnt!

poor bugger

cvt and dairy seem to fat over the stability of abit boards, although i never tried on myself. pretty happy with asus myself.

Get something that will dual channel that stick with another, will significantly improve things ...

.. and you might want to get your power supply tested before you connect it to another mobo just in case it was that :|
