I'm assuming you already checked if it was under warranty? Vista is pretty new so i'd assume this is a pretty new laptop as well - and a lot of laptop manufacturers have pretty decent warranties.

There are a couple 32 bit applications that won't run. That's not a driver issue. I own a Keystation 49e midi controller. Before plugging it in, I searched for drivers. Forums everywhere stated that there were no keystation drivers for any 64 bit OS, in fact M-Audio was being a dick about it and didn't make any for a good deal of their hardware. Sure they've been releasing drivers for vista 32 but nothing for 64. So after reading about screaming people on the forums, I decided to plug it in and see if I could find some sort of generic driver. I plug it in and vista 64 is all like *ding* Oh hai keystation 49e i got ur driverz right here o_O so apparently i didn't even need to download any. I also have a firebox which works just fine under 64 bit (it does turn off every once in a while but it may be something funky with the firewire port, i have yet to diagnose it because it happens so infrequently). The only thing Vista whines about "incompatible drivers" with is my Belkin USB wireless adapter. And obviously, it works, because I'm on the internet. Actually now that I think of it, Microsofts own Intellipoint software was buggy and I had to uninstall it. The scroll wheel on my mouse suddenly wasn't working so well under vista. It's funny because I tested scrolling with a logitech mouse and it worked fine. Lol@microsoft Also - Formatting is wiping the entire drive. If everything on the software level is wiped, you can pretty much conclude there is a hardware problem. The BSOD-Then-it-wont-let-me-start-up sounds like one of three things to me - either a hard drive physical memory dump due to impending failure, bad ram or a failing motherboard.

Oh I absolutely agree, integrated video sucks balls. I ended up putting a 7950 GT i bought off of pyrion in mine. However, the onboard video that came with the computer i bought was actually not half bad. In fact it was probably better than my old computer running a 6600 GT AGP with 2gb of ram. But with the new video card, she eats up everything i throw at her <3

I see http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121059 AND http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131320 in that list.

Looks good, except that there are two motherboards. You've also got no operating system. Effef is absolutely correct about working inside of a Dell. I would also like to point out that Gateway computers are a pleasure to work in- I recently bought this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113071 and it was a good deal for me. It does come with vista 64 but you can load whatever you prefer on it of course.

What the hell?!

Alright, he picked up the phone this time and he's not dead. Phew!

I texted him today and haven't gotten a response yet.

I sure hope he's ok. His last facebook update is yesterday morning around 8:30. I'd call him, but it's pretty late.

It's possible you might have bad hardware like a motherboard. Don't just assume it's vista - i'm running vista 64 and was told i would have countless driver issues, but everything works fine including all my audio hardware. I've only had trouble with a couple 32 bit applications. Can you backup and reformat again? If you can't even reinstall windows (vista xp or what have you) then it's probably hardware related.

Well over 9000

Actually, yes. Thasauce news is all about keeping us up to date about the whole community, that includes original releases. Our news can also be used to self pimp or pimp others work. We are always looking for people to add to the Wardriver label for further releases. It's non profit and no one is going to steal your music rights or anything. So if you're interested in submitting to Wardriver, PM Tyberius or Ramaniscence or myself.

/server 84.16.234.191 also works for me, for some reason etgs dns has been hosed lately.

gettin druuuuuunk

it took way too many posts before tesla was mentioned

Grats dude, sounds pretty cool.

^Actually I find i'm a target a lot.. but maybe that's because i leeroy jenkins it. Apparently, I have guest passes but it seems you can do the free weekend trial without them. If anyone turns out to need any, let me know, i'm always on irc.

This is a very helpful post. Most people don't want to go through the hassle of priming it, but it will turn out that much better if you do. I'd suggest a spray paint, try to stay away from the cheaper types because you do get what you pay for.

^lulz Same here, i saw a really big one streak horizontally, pretty cool stuff. Science!

Thank you so much for posting, i always love watching these but can never remember when they are. It's been hot lately so the sky should be pretty clear.

What, no love for Darude - Sandstorm? And without lyrics i guess "everybody dance now" is out

Why couldn't one of the other two scouts have changed? I don't understand why Atma was singled out

I am definitely going. Depending on if my roommate enjoys pax, he may come to mag as well.
