Wreckers

One step forward, two back. I now have less of an idea of what it is. I thought I had figured it out. I took the last stick of RAM out, and now it's crashing much less often, but still has a memory problem of some sorts somewhere. The thing is, I need to troubleshoot and figure out if it's the stick...

Banging my head against a wall. Ram sticks seem to be okay. But I'm also getting errors with all removed, but the first. So maybe the first socket is not working. Although, things seem to be fine until I do something that accesses the video card. I think either my motherboard is bad, or the videocar...

Seems to have been my very last stick of RAM.... or the slot that it fits into on the motherboard. Not sure which. Would anyone more versed in computers mind letting me know a few things? 1) Does 32 bit Windows XP actually recognize more than 3GB of RAM anyway? I've heard mixed answers on this. (I h...

That is a fantastic idea. I might actually try that and see how it goes.

Well, I've got it narrowed down somewhat. I think one of my RAM sticks is dead or dying. The problem is, I'm not sure which one(s). Hurray for 3 hours of troubleshooting when I just wanted to play some EQ on a Friday night.

I thought most (maybe cheap?) versions had some kind of pickle also?

Not sure what the problem is yet, but as far as I can tell so far, it's only happening when I'm playing EQ. Things were fine running EQ for the raid earlier. I was running to Crescent Reach to powerlevel a friend's toon, and when I tried to zone from Crescent Reach to Blightfire, I crashed... as in ...

Doh! What about those of us who can only raid on Saturday? I may have to increase my beg skill and see if the wife will let me raid Monday or Thursday. Yes, I'm whipped.

The world may never know.

I'm not a fan of cheating, even if I wouldn't get caught. Anyway, I just finished and submitted the test, 10 hours after starting it.

Has anyone ever had a test that they honestly had no idea how well or how poorly they were doing? I am now 7.5 hours into a test that I have 24 hours to complete and turn back in. I'm nearing the end... I should be done by 9-10 hours in, I think, but I have no idea if I'm doing extremely well or eve...

Sarcasm or not, I agree with you. Capitalism may seem evil, but look to North Korea for a shining example of how rocking communism (which pretty well always turns to dictatorship) can be. Woohoo! Hurray communism. Yeah, I truly am glad we are here to kick ass if they start something.

Yeah, man, I'm in Korea, but I'm from the U.S. I agree we are the school yard bully a fair amount of the time, but not in this case. We're playing a definite protector/ally role in South Korea, and have been doing so since the Korean war. Were it not for the U.S., the whole peninsula would probably ...

I am so far unaffected. I just now heard, actually, 6 hours after the fact.

I stayed up and got my baby Cleric void B flagged. I think I'm done with Oceangreen for a while! Anyone who knows how to "pet pull" the Safe Passage quest in Commonlands/Kithicor mind posting or PMing me?

Servers up.

Geez, seriously? $20 a week is pretty high. I have a $50 per month allowance which is taken up by 3 EQ accounts!

I remember when I once skipped a family get together because there was a Nagafen raid getting together, and I was playing a Paladin, and really badly needed the torn, burnt book. I had been staying right at 52 for the purpose of getting those dragons. My family got back 3-4 hours later, all laughing...

For all the frustrations I have had with my bank in the past, it seems they finally realize that I'm not in the U.S., so they don't block me using my cards in Korea anymore which is just awesome. (or should be expected, after having told them probably hundreds of times?) Anyway, I gave up on Xbox's ...

I remember, as my Enchanter, killing one guy in a prison area of Highpass Keep. He was the one dude in all of EQ that enchanters could solo, and he was decent exp. He only had like a 20 minute respawn time. Freaking uber place for exp while you waited on the list for the goblin groups!

I'm not working for Microsoft. If I were, I would have more than enough in my bank account to cover an $84 charge. Not completely sure what you mean by the deal I got, because I didn't sign up for any $#%(* deals. I got a bogus charge on my card, if that's what you mean.

Another update: Apparently this is not unprecedented. A google search of "Xbox Live fraud" pulled up a bunch of different articles similiar to this one . I'm going to go ahead and say, since I don't play online games with people, and can't, without gold membership, I didn't give away any information...

Update: I tried to canceling the recurring subscription on the website. There is nothing but a circle of websites all pointing back to each other, and never any real option for canceling. I tried to cancel and get a refund on the phones, and was on hold for over 30 minutes. Screw them. I tried to do...

I don't either, and didn't. The problem is, I *have* payed for Xbox live gold before, but not for at least two years. They keep my CC details on hand, linked to the account. I'm still on hold with their billing department trying to cancel. If they won't go along nicely, I'll just go ahead with repor...

I have the "Silver" (free) membership. They have some promotional offers right now for 24 months of Xbox live at 15% off for a total of $84. I absolutely, 100%, didn't even consider this. Didn't click it. Didn't even dream about it. Never ever went anywhere near anything that even resembled billing,...
