hey fellow gamers, long time no blog, so i figured i'd get back in here and let you all know what is going on. well, remember my overclocking endevors, well, it turns out i have had motherboard memory slot failures and problems, but after ocing i found the problems exacerbated to the point where i couldnt avoid confronting them any more. the memory errors were so constant that i was corrupting OSes and programs were crashing, games that i blamed for being buggy were really going down like champs because i had some hardware issues, so your wondering how did i miss these problems, well they didn't show up in prime 95 or default nvidia memtest programs. but after starting a thread on techreport.com's forums and being directed to use memtest 86 i found the problems, and am moving to remove them, it would appear the reason that nvidias memtest missed the problem is because the errors are mother board side instead of ram side so my mobo might need replacing. i'm still testing to try and determine exactly what is wrong but if my guesses are right i'm gonna get a new mobo, i'll probably get a 790i ultra, and buy ddr3 1600 mhz memory. then next fall i plan on getting a q9650 3.0 ghz 1333 mhz fsb cpu and the next gen nvidia card. but right now i just want my desktop to work.

i've spent spring break playing dawn of war 2, and it is a very good game, i love it. it isn't perfect, but it sure is a ton of fun. i beat fear 2 and that was also a very good game, i need to right a review for so many games i'm so behind, and i feel the need to buy a racing game and the microsoft steering wheel, but agian no money, gosh, i need a job. time to job hunt.
