Agreed, except for the vendor. What Mr Flying needs is a service
contract from the vendor. HP is a reputable company (once they
recover from Carly and subsequent embarrassments). I would not
consider inflicting Mr Flying upon them. The current winner of my
least desirable major PC vendor is Toshiba, which could use a lesson
in customer service after selling my customers some lemons. I think
Mr Flying is the one person who can do that. Despite the incoherent
descriptions, incomprehensible theories, creative logic, and endless
ramblings, Mr Flying has the persistence necessary to teach Toshiba a
lesson.

As for the immediate problem, it's probably incureable. What needs to
happen is a change in computer environment conducive to game points
accumulation. That's described in Feng Shui for office and home
computers. For example:

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/HowTo:Feng_Shui_Your_Computer
Never position your heat sinks and water-cooling next to each
other. Water and fire are complete opposites. But if it can't
be helped, place a small plant or pot of herbs in between to
weaken the negative influence.

Allow fresh chi to revitalise your computer by opening all
your (desktop) windows for at least 20 minutes a day.

http://www.rising-dragon.co.uk/news/200512-logitech-feng-shui.php
Logitech’s range of cordless computer peripherals help promote
clarity of mind by clearing away the clutter of cables that
entangle many rooms within the home.

Workspaces can often contain an excess of Yang, or active energy,
especially where there is a build up of computing equipment. You
can balance this with the presence of plants. I recommend Peace
Lilies since they give off huge amounts of oxygen. Their presence
is calming and they help promote clear thought.

http://www.circle-of-light.com/fengshui/fs-cures.html
(Lots of good advice on positioning the computer and display)

Plenty more found using Google search for "Feng Shui Computers".
Hopefully, by following the principles and guidelines for building,
positioning, and operating your computer, the crashes and posting to
S.E.D. will both cease.

Ok,

I was playing Call of Duty 4... and then I decided to bring down the noise
of the fans a bit... I make them spin slower... the temperature rises a few
degrees...

And then a few seconds later... bzbzbzbzbzbzbzbzbzb.. strange sound on
speakers...

And the system freezes.

I also noticed something in the bios menu:

APM Configuration options are missing.

Maybe the power supply went bad... maybe from all the power surges... or
maybe from thunder storm... lots and lots of thunder storms lately...

Could be interference from gsm's... the old pentium III monitor gets some
flickers now and then.... maybe wireless network intereference who knows...

But my safest bet so far is probably power supply bad...

This is more or less the worst thing that could happen.

Whoam... there goes the new system again... it just crashed again...

IRQ problem..

I disagree.

The real problem is Skybuck hasn't discovered he has a penis yet.
When he figures out how that baby works, maybe he'll leave the rest of
us alone?

Now the big disadventage of building a computer yourself is starting to

I do not have the necessary "debugging" equipment to figure out what's

Neither do most computer shops, which merely try components in another
computer until they encounter failure.

Best I could do is reduce to minimum setup... which isn't that much
different and then start guessing.

You should do that and measure all voltages with a meter and run a
good memory diagnostic for hours. Then add 1 component at a time and
test, repeating until everything is installed.

Great news on the system failure. How come it took so long?

I live in the Netherlands were temperatures are rising more quickly than
anywhere else in the world

I doubt that claim has any basis in reality. Hopefully global warming
will fix the 'low countries' once and for all.

Currently the temperature inside my living room is 27 degrees celcius.

It is mid winter here, and yesterday the max outdoor temp was 27C.

I kinda enjoy sitting behind my PIII...

With your trusty tube of dick lube no doubt.

We keep trying to tell you: Its that Usenet client software. Delete it
from all of your systems. Now.

The first necessary "debugging" equipment is sufficient brain power.

Maybe I try minimum setup later with one memory chip... to see if it's maybe

* DRS:

The real problem is cross-posting idiots feeding the troll.

The real problem is that everyone complains here but no-one complains at
his provider.


is where you all should complain if you're fed up with Sky****s posts.
Simple as that.

Benjamin

* StickThatInYourPipeAndSmokeIt:

Other than being annoyed by his stupidity, exactly what huge
transgression of Usenet conventions has he committed?

It's a clear violation of the netiquette to post unrelated stuff in
newsgroup. Since he has been advised to stop it by lots of people for a
long time and also since he uses the newsgroups more like a personal
diary than participating on the ongoing discussions his postings
probably have reached a level of SPAM which as you say is illegal.

My ISP limits the group number I can post to at once to 4. They claim
6 in their policy, but the number is 4.

There is, however, no rule on it, nor is it illegal to cross-post.

BS. Of course there are general rules for posting on the UseNet:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/posting-rules/

These rules are agreed upon by virtually all providers, and you usually
agree to them, too, when agreeing to the terms of your usenet provider.
And because of this providers usually insert a complaint address in all
postings made via them (in your case its ). Don't be
fooled that they don't care because they do as providers not caring for
complaints risk to loose their newsfeed. Of course it depends on the
level of complaints, if for example I would complain to
that you're an offending prick then they very likely
won't care. In case of Sky**** they very likely will.

It IS illegal when it is SPAM.

Pretty much any retard with any position on life can post into Usenet,
and there isn't anything you holier than though dumb****s can do about
it.

Yeah, whatever you think. You're not the first ****** that though Usenet
is fully unrestricted (which it is not) and completely anonymous.

Call him the idiot that he is and be done with it.

You dip****s are worse than he is with your stupid prancing around
behind his heels as if you have some legitimate bone to pick.

Again... where is the "abuse"? It is a goddamned shame that when one of
you retards complains that if the complaint isn't valid, it should be YOU
that loses your access.

Yeah, right. Maybe it still hasn't reached you bushwhackers yet but in
these parts of the world that have reached a certain level of
civilization there are some agreed rules people life after:
http://www.usenetmonster.com/infocenter/articles/usenet_netiquette.asp

Goddamned school marm ****ing prudes. Grow the **** up.

Yeah, whatever. Didn't your goats give head today?
