My 960 gtx was very nice.... until it stopped working.

If you throw more than one their defrosting will add together. Once the flare is out it no longer defrosts.

Well updates are actually downloading. So I am assuming they get overloaded on wed/thurs and those of us with win7 are little better than dirt. We get to wait.

Been asked and answered many times before. I assume MW2. Beyond clan members, it is the total time played on that server.

When I do the rebuild I will start with the SSD only. Its not 'new' in the sense of it being unused. But it was purchased only a few months ago and for the most part only used for the OS and non-gaming programs. Why do I need a MS account?

I ran a WU diagnostic. There is a problem that it couldnt fix. DIdnt it twice. Dunno why. I will try safe mode next. There were others three others that it said it did fix. Also twice, So certainly looks like something it wrong somewhere. edit: Anyways, did all I could. Or at least all I could without getting into registry hacks and such. Made sure about services. So currently on 'checking'. But since the checks or records for currently installed updates was wiped it probably has to start over and see whats installed. Also, this is Thursday afternoon and MS could be overloaded due to all the Win10 people downloading with us mere mortals with Win7 having to wait.

Fucking windows update. A common reported problem is that it is stuck at 0% even if you leave it running all night. Network activity is zero. Yes I did all the usual like checking for malware. There were a couple MS fixes that were supposed to take care of it. But they dont. On top of that, unless the WU process is manually disabled it takes 1/4 of CPU activity and wont stop. As it is currently. MS had a list of other things to try that included manual WU installs and changes as well as registry hacks. But if that is the fix something is very wrong. In the short term, for the moment, I dont need WU so I am just disabling the service. Also, if no network access (no cable) it wont start either. However I fear once the new system is built its going to do this with all the post install updates needed and I am screwed. I didnt know this, and thought they fixed it the last time it happened with some update. I had it set as notify but dont install. So when I saw it today I saw the potential problem. Has anyone else installed Windows 7 in the last month and experienced this? I dont know what else to check and am not going to start putting it all together until I know I wont be fucked over by them. Part of me still thinks they are secretly doing this on purpose to get people to upgrade to win10. But it seems some people having this problem have win10 as well.

I am sure you jest when you say hours. At worst, if 9 rounds sudden death, 1 hour. Besides, snipers should have their fair share of maps that benefit them as well as cq does right?

I didnt notice that either until I had to reinstall an older catalyst package to get my amd card working again. The last package they made, since the 5770 is now considered legacy, was buggy somehow and failed on installing the display driver. No idea what it was for. Just that I didnt want it so got rid of it.

Yup I dont have a new drive but I will back up my SSD again to a different drive for safe keeping. I am figuring a full reinstall from the disc and it will keep the current OS as an old version.

Yea if all goes well I will just have my single 960, with the RMA'ed one returned. Then when its time to actually get a new one, which might be a long time, get a new single card. Unless I get another 960 really cheap for sli.

Ok yea two versions by the same mapper but they are different layouts. The 're' one is better. No drowning but if you go into the water you die and respawn at the beginning normally. Up to all of you whether or not that is acceptable in ftag.

I hope. I just have that little nag in the back of my head that when its all put together everything will work great... except both cards again.

gisland? That is a relatively simple map all things considered. Strange. Did it happen the last time around? edit: Ok I see the likely problem. Mostly a map specific issue having to do with too many screen hud elements. In this case its a 'drowning' progress bar probably created on spawn. However I seem to recall other maps with drowning features that dont have this issue. Am I correct? One guess is that the map script that handles all the built in drowning features isnt destroying this progress bar on death. So when it makes a new one on spawn the earlier one is still there. A common 'gotcha', if you remember the old mw2 bug of the red target markers not being destroyed properly. Eventually the player runs out of available elements and the game throws a fit. In this instance, if this is correct, it probably wouldnt show up until the player has died and respawned enough times to run out. There are two versions of gisland. mp_gisland and mp_gisland_re. Maybe 'redux' or something like that. Perhaps the 're' one doesnt have this issue.

I dont know. If neither of them work on this build then I can only surmise that both of them are bad. That was the last option that I couldnt do. I didnt have another system available to test it on. I was getting near to upgrades anyways so I figured now was as a good time to do it as any. I will have to watch the money tho for awhile. Worst case scenario, send the original back to get my cross-ship money back. Continue to work with the RMA card for awhile. If that doesnt work do that process again but without the cross-shipment. I dont think I will do that again. Since the i5 has the gpu I can do fine without the card except for newer games. evga is supposed to have a good reputation and they did the RMA this time without any fuss. Considering I just spent a lot of money to build a new system earlier than I wanted due to this card I would hope they wouldnt mess with me to do a second RMA.

Anyways my nvidia gpu RMA isnt working either while my older Raedon still does. So its either bad luck or maybe psu. Or something with the mb. I dunno anymore. Maybe something with voltages but I didnt mess with those either. I dont think driver issues should affect post. Big purchases always make me nervous that something will go wrong. After shifting $$$ around among the different parts needed, this is what I am getting. Higher than I originally wanted to spend but I wasnt planning on a psu. Not before the rma didnt work either. I have to consider the possibility that something happened to the psu that hopefully didnt screw up the rma in the process. Otherwise when I send it back I have in the back of my mind that they will say too bad, ship it back, and keep the money. And prices in general are more expensive than I figured for good parts. But they should last me a long time. i5 6600 (already here) Gigabyte GA-Z170X-GAMING 5 Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD, 750W Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2

Shame. I liked that map. But admittedly, it is one of those maps where you cant run around like a headless chicken and always expect to win. Chickens should be grilled or bbq'd anyways.

Just to clarify, "Transmission" is the program if you are one of those BT users. If you have it, be sure to take care of things.

Just curious, what did mp_citi_swamp do? If its the one I am thinking of it did seem to cause slowdowns at times. I think because it is fx heavy.

I dont have an iphone but if it took this long for this to happen then thats pretty good. However I suspect this has to do with the whole mess a few months ago when impatient developers with ADD unwittingly downloaded compromised SDKs from China. So if anything its not Apple's fault. It's the developers that were stupid enough to download shit from unknown sources. Seriously, if you were a developer for the PS4 would you get the software from Sony? Or from China? If you were making your own Linux builds would you get it from trusted sources? Or some unknown server in Russia?

I think some people didnt like japmap because while not particularly big it perhaps seem cramped with too many structures or perhaps overly complicated.

I remember desert docks as an old favorite. Also sharqi.

Yea which is why I seldom play the mw2 server. But in any case with new map rotations comes testing to find which ones work well and which ones dont. So if everyone says 'this map isnt fun' then say so plz. Specifically, which ones.

I hate reading customer reviews on power supplies. There are always going to be people that say some product dies within a week or caught fire and nearly burned the house down. There is a seasonic that looks good for the recommended wattage and price. Anyways good thing I double checked memory. Neither option was listed as compatible with the mb.
