Running Windows 10 and CoD4 no problems at all. If you want some control over Windows update, get Windows 10 pro. The only thing I hate about Windows 10 is the sound - anything other than onboard audio is problems in Windows 10. Most times the driver will not load with Windows 10 fast boot and if you do get a dedicated card to work the next update will probably nock it out.If your running onboard sound you should have no problems.

This is what I use when I'm reloading Windows 7; http://download.wsusoffline.net/ You can pick the updates you want to download maually, create an .iso file and store it on a thumb drive for future installs, works really well.

If your looking at the new Tacoma's I would test drive one 1st. I have a 2011 Tacoma and I think the new ones need a couple of recalls. The new engine makes a little more horsepower and about the same torque as the older ones. The problem is that the transmission and the engine don't seem to be working together in the new Tacoma's. The new 3.5's horsepower comes in at a higher rpm range than the older 4.0 and the transmissions shift points don't seem to ever let it get there. Because of this the engine seems to labor just to do the speed limit. I look for them to do a software update in the future. I also talked to a friend who has a 2016 Tacoma and he said he is on his third windshield in 3200 miles. Apparently Toyota switched to a "laminated" windshield to cut down on cabin noise. This leaves a thinner layer of glass on the outside which as you can imagine will crack easily from anything that hits it. He is hoping for a recall soon. Personally I'm waiting for the 2017 models till they iron out the bugs.

Sorry for your loss Loader. Have been through this myself recently. We always pray for physical healing but that is not always Gods will. Even in ones passing we can find comfort in the fact that they are truly healed, no more to suffer and in peace living in paradise.

Sorry to here about your mom, may Gods healing hand be upon her.

Gtx970 and if your budget is lower gtx 960. 9xx series cards have pretty low power requirements compared older generation cards. For the gtx 950, 960, 970 - minimum PSU would be 350, 450, and 550 watt.

You can try reinstalling punkbuster with pbsvc ; evenbalance.com in downloads section. Also make sure your not using any kind of overlay, like fraps or evga precision on screen display etc. If you use on screen display make sure stealth mode is on.

Only issue for me was my Creative sound card, nothing but problems with Windows 10. Switched to onboard Realtek and no problems.

Looking at your picture, not sure but something does not look right with your CPU 8 pin power connection. Seems like too many wires, almost looks like connection for a video card. Just to make sure are you using the 4+4 connector for the CPU? For your power supply it should say CPU 1 and cpu 2 on the connectors. Also it should be coming from the hard wired cable cluster and not the modular ones.

Sounds like one of your ram sticks wasn't, seated all the way.

Make sure your config file is not just read only, you want full control.

Be careful what types of coolers you use on the Intel Sylake processors ; http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/12/intel-skylake-cpus-bent-and-broken-by-some-third-party-coolers/

Download pb services, 1st link. Download Call of Duty 4-Windows. Run pb service .exe and let it finish. Copy the files you downloaded(CoD 4-Windows) and paste them in your CoD4 pb folder and let it overwrite everything- Done. If your playing on the Ace Mod server, pb isn't running.

I've always had recommended updates off.

Shouldn't stereo mix be enabled?

Just join another server or start your own and join then quit and rejoin the XI server

You need to plug in the other 6 pin power connector to your video card

If your planning on overclocking the cpu, you'll need a "Z" 170 board instead of the h170.

On Windows 10 with UAC off I had to change the download directory for CoDWaW

Just use the XI downloaded instead, it will download all the maps that are currently on the server for you. No more disconnects or kicks

"yes but not @ pcie3 speed just 2" My gtx960 is not held back at all in a pci-e 2.0 slot
