Its more likely a shit dongle / driver causing your blue screens. But if you suspect it’s the power, a 500va UPS (£40~) would stabilise any power flow, surges, blackouts and let you determine if its the cause or not.

he front and not from the back, and Lebanon's electricity is not exactly stable. Could wonky electricity cause the blue screening? Because there were also times where I would boot up the PC and the adapter wasn't working.

Indeed it does, my friend. BTW Mello, wanted to pick your brain about something. I recently bought a new PC, and it started to blue screen really soon after I bought it. Now, when I got back home I realized that I had my wireless adapter plugged in from t

Back at home, Day 1. So I got home and looked at my PC, and thought "I want to play World of Warcraft." Then, I remembered that I had 3 philosophy papers to write and a calculus exam to study for.

is this new kit you're using??

Stygiax January 10 2011 10:39:18

Heh, we're on cable. Also turns out my Mobo was 5 bios revisions out of date, 3 of which where "to improve system stability" yet to have another random lockup after updating it... Which is nice.

Dauphin January 09 2011 19:30:15

Will do it now Mell. Check your email.

mellony January 09 2011 18:20:59

lol @ your new sig mark, speaking of which; you have not sent me the pic you want as your avatar.

mellony January 09 2011 18:18:37

That's because the blizzard downloader in p2p mode saturates the limited upload stream of adsl, so your machine has latency sending tcp ip acknowledgment packets back to host.

Hmm. Well something's not quite right, woke up to discover that everything had locked up. Amusingly discovered get a faster download speed wit p2p disabled.

Given that the owners of the potential donor machines have recently either been hacked, or suspect they've been hacked... I'll go with the wait & clean install.

you aint downloading and patchin wow from scratch are you? takes about 10 minutes to copy it over ethernet from another machine.

Stygiax January 08 2011 20:48:26

I do seem to randomly be having intermittent network issues atm though.

Stygiax January 08 2011 20:45:28

All done, nothing exploded. Surprising how little there is to do with an essentially blank box *glares at downloader*
