    Windows 7 0xC004008 well... damn. what now?

    I retyped it in to make sure. I typed my product identification number in the site and I got: "The product ID number you entered has expired. Please enter another product ID number or select a different support option below."

    Windows 7 0xC004008 well... damn. what now?

    I just built a new system. It had been working for a few days now... but then 'The product key you typed cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer.". But I bought this... a retail copy, even. I had this problem with my first gaming rig a couple years ago where I actually had to call MS...

    Windows 7 brand new build, TERRIBLE performance

    good and bad news. I found the problem (good)... but it's half my RAM (bad). It looks like Win7 was constantly trying to re-route memory around the borked area whenever input at a higher rate happened (mouse). keyboard input was OK because keyboards only work off of very tiny (<5ms)...

    Windows 7 brand new build, TERRIBLE performance

    it's the interrupts. 25% CPU (or a whole core) and the entire system drags around. I'll be trying some other DDR3 RAM and using one stick of the AVEXIR at a time. kind of a pain in the butt.

    Windows 7 brand new build, TERRIBLE performance

    I just built this puppy... and it's not performing the way I want it to. Intel i5 2500k (downclocked to 2.5GHz until I get some better fans for the heatsink and case intake) everything else is default: Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg Basically, if I move my Logitech G9 around (a few...

    Windows 7 strange RAM usage

    so... basically, I still have 8GB of RAM but a fair size of it is being cached? hmm... file summary page turns out quite a bit of useless files in the RAM for no apparent reason. like, uh, a VBox save i did yesterday- it's using 1,223,776K. there also seems to be a fairly large number of game...

    Windows 7 strange RAM usage

    it's not about the amount being used it the way the RAM becomes available is the issue. when i hit 4GB usage the other 4GB become available. I'm trying to figure out why that's happening.

    Windows 7 strange RAM usage

    my system has 8GB of DDR2 800MHz RAM. I *thought* half of it had gone bad because speccy and task manager were telling me only 4GB were available. Cautiously, I left speccy open to monitor RMA usage while i play a RAM-whore of a game (minecraft). My RAM had gone down to 1MB and I thought...
