Got it. I had to do a repair install, then spend half the day at Windowsupdate, but it now works.

Windows XP can't seem to find my new USB hub. Rather, it can't seem to find the generic driver. This is the second hub I have tried on this computer (the other one I got for work, and it worked on my work laptop). The hub appears to...

Sounds similar to the problem I had with my 5680 before I had to RMA for a new motherboard. They had me swap memory and the hard drive before that, though, so those might be worth a try.

Dells have a problem that might be happening here, too. Either the keyboard or the touchpad might be going bad. Not sure why the keyboard sometimes fixes it, but it does on the Dells.

An update for those of you still interested: I replaced the memory chips with no better results. Tech support had me try to reinstall Windows, but that failed twice. Latest thought is a bad hard drive. Wish me luck! PS, makes...

I'm inclined to agree with you, binjured, but not for the reason you state. I have had one desktop card overheat on me before, and one of the big indicators are the funky artifacts in 3d applications (which I have now seen twice). I...

The at least one bad memory module I labeled that way because after a nasty series of lockups in 3dmark, I actually got memtester to find about 80k errors on that chip. It had tested ok before, though. Now though, I am doubting that. ...

After doing some intensive testing of the memory modules, it appears that at least one is bad, and it might have been compounded by old drivers. Still working with Sager to do a clean install of new drivers, hopefully tomorrow, and RMA...

Sager test support has me testing out the memory cards right now. Since the problem only seemed to occurr when the machine was warm and running a 3d intensive program, it is taking a while to test both memory cards. (The machine was...

I wasn't watching it too closely most of the times it did it, but once I did see it throw up some nasty artifacts right before rebooting. (The first time I wasn't in the room; then I ran 3dmark a few times to see if I could reproduce...
