Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
well my computer stays pretty cool and i checked the bios...the temperature was good..i also went through it and cleaned it out with an air compressor (turned extremely low on the pressure)...and i got rid of all the dust..i know its not the drivers, because after a reformat it crashed, and what...
also...ever since i reformatted/took out a stick of ram...it still crashes...but iit doesnt crash half as often as it used to....i dont know why...and i havent ran memtest on the stick i think is bad yet...i havent had time....schools taking a lot of my time...but ill probably do it over...
k...i ran the memtest...didnt get any errors....and this is what i have:
im not sure what my motherboard is...i think its a VIA?
AMD Athlon XP 1700+ 1.48GHz
2 sticks of 256 ddr ram
geforce2 GTS/Geforce2 Pro
creative SB Live sound card
i have 3 fans, two have lights in them, ones an Antec...
bleh..i did run memtest a while ago, before i took out the stick....and i posted that it said there werent any errors...im not trying to put it off...its just that all the suggestions you guys are making seems too complicated for me...i dont know computers that well
ugh!...i thought i was home free.....up til today i had no crashes using the one stick of ram...but i was playing warcraft3 and it crashed and gave me this error:
This application has encountered a critical error:
FATAL ERROR!
program: C:\Games\warcraft III\war3.exe
exeption...
yeah i do have someone that i could swap with...but ive had one memory stick out for the past 2 days (i have two 256 ddr sticks)...and so far it hasnt crashed...so i think its the stick i took out...but i can never be too sure
it just did it again...except this time it stayed on the blue screen that i can normally only see for a split second...and i copied down everything it said (probably not extremely exact):
A problem has been detected and windows has sdhut down to prevent damage to your computer...
