I'm surprised I didn't see this post before. Two years ago before I left for Iraq I had hell of a time with my computer. I think it was months before I finally realized the motherboard was bad. I tried everything imaginable but it kept crashing. Sometimes the OS wouldn't load. Sometimes it wouldn't even post. I think I might have cracked the motherboard when I installed it...
I would lend some of my expertise but really I'd have to be there to be of any use. And then again I'd probably spend half my time searching forums for answers. haha My friends come to for help with their computers, and usually the first thing I do is jump on Google. Those punks don't even bother looking.

hmmm...well my computer kept crashing like suddenly BOOM and nothing. wouldn't start up so let it 'cool down' then it would start right up, be good for a bit then 'BOOM' again...so i switched out the psu...and it seems to be working fine right now?
i tried logging on SWG, it worked but i loaded at coronet by the meat lumps, and there was lag, so i wasn't sure if the static coming from speakers was from that, so i closed anyway...too laggy to play. might put the video card back in and test it...

gonna try reinstalling the 256mb video card and see if it works now that i've switched out the power supply unit. my computer hasn't experienced a crash all day since i changed out the psu. i also disabled all of the programs that auto-launch on startup, which could have caused some of the problems.
i watched a full episode of 24 streaming off myspace, not a sign of static.
i load SWG, and it's very laggy, and i get static, but it's not as bad as it was, it doesn't completely drown out the sound effects, so it could be from the lag.
going to reinstall the video card drivers now and hopefully i'll be back in the game.
well it seems to work now, only there's ton of lag for some reason...so eh...dammit. going to try plugging directly to modem.
still didn't fix it....checking for spyware.
various spyware removed. nothing really happened. =\ it's still laggy. i'm gettin framerate of 5, then it goes to 15, then 28, then 30, then back to 5 again.
decided to try another game, empire at war. that worked fine. so i think it's something to do with all the free character transfers to starsider...then again, it's probably just my luck.

I just had to upgrade my graphics card because I fried my last one. Hehe should have seen the image on my computer after the card was done burning At least now my swg looks flawless hehe.
I have been building my own pcs for years, with my profession it makes a lot more sense (I am a software engineer). Plus it is almost always cheaper imho. Newegg and Tigerdirect ftw
