IMG code has been turned off in this forum. I've reported this to Glenn awhile ago. Has yet to be straightened out.

Anyway, I want your PC.

its looks okay - the wiring isn't well done, I would have just saved the 20 dollars you paid them to simple put zipties around all the cords......they should have routed more of the cables out of the way and behind the chassis and motherboard if they're going to call it "cable management for airflow".
Hope it runs well, have fun!

Doesn't the enormous amount of blue light annoy you?

It looks like a propulsion engine from star trek.

...My PC glows blue too... :( But only resembles a propulsion engine in aura, not shape!

Awesome PC, too

Not a fan of the case or the wiring job, but those fans .. and the fact they'd be well quiet - interests me :)

Run Orthos on "Blend" mode and see how long it can keep it up. Let it run overnight or something. If it can do more than 10 hours it's probably neither your ram, mobo or cpu crapping out.

Btw, if you plan to run it overnight, I hope for you that the pc isn't in your bedroom :P When it crashes it will start beeping.

I just tried playing half life 2 and got a restart this time after playing for less than 5 min ?????

I can surf the web and do anything else but as soon as i play any game it turns into black screen then i get a restart . Man this sucks :(

This is a guess but I think it's the dx10 card.

Its the cooling. My PC restarts when I play games because my processor overheats and restarts.

Probably just the thermal paste used wasn't sufficient, was too much, or was not put on properly.

Should i take it back ?? i have a 30 day money back warrenty. or do i just live with it. I just got back from a holiday party and my bro stayed home and he played bf2 for more than 4 hours with no restart then turned it off , came back agian and played for another 2 hours than it crashed he siad. Random i guess.

On the Nvidea forums theres a few people with the same exact problem i have.... they say its a software problem.

Take it back to them, tell them about it. If there's not a problem with the hardware, it is, as said, a software problem, with which they might be able to help you, too.

No i believe its a pci express card 8800GTX they call it. You will need 1000watts only if you do SLI mode probably.

My pc isn't restarting as much lately just once today all day.

You wont need a KiloWatt to run your PC, it's just to try and boost someone's e-penor. Who's insecure about their e-penor? ;)

My pc still restarts after playing games for about 20min or so . somtimes i can play for 3 hours with no restart ??? I hope vista comes out soon and everything runs better. I dont want to return this computer.

I'm going to tweak the gpu fan in N-tune setings and speed up the fan maybe that will work if its a hea issue witch i doubt. Wish me luck!

Return it and use the money to build the pc for less.

1. See what Temp is it running at
2. Your RAM is most likely not securely in (I had same problem when I first built my PC)
3. Thermal Paste is so last summer...

I would def. call them up to take care of it. If it was a DVD player that you just bought and it restarted during playback what would you do?

Ok I talked to the tech guy pretty nice guy he said that they are going to send me a memory tester to see if my memory is bad . If it is tested bad they will send me new memory or a new graphics card if its a GPU problem.

Question? Is there a website i can download a memory tester and do it myself rather than wait for them to send me one in a email. \\

If nothing works after they send me a new memory or card i will simply return it for a full refund.

I didnt want it to come down to this cause i love playing everygame at max settings. Man playing LOST COAST at highest settings and still maintain a 300fps is insane.... :) thanks guys for the help .

There's a 'cpu stress mode' and a 'memory stress mode' as well.
