    Always, always, do a clean install and do not do an upgrade! You want to backup all data, format and install. The quickest way to a headache is upgrade! I will always build my own boxes since it takes minimal time and I know they are done right.:D

    Computer randomly freezes

    350 watts should be just enough power for all you have running. Your jumpers on the HD's are set properly? When you freeze can you right click lower taskbar and open taskmanager to end task that is not responding? Check event viewer to see if it has errors reported. Go to control panel...

    Computer randomly freezes

    For one. Stop blasting AMD! You need to stop talking out of your ASS! Both AMD and Intel make good products there is no sense blaming a PC issue on a processor that fuctions. If it was a chip problem it would not boot up. If it was heat related he would see the high temps on MBM. Its a process...

    Computer randomly freezes

    Intel and AMD thing, don't blame it on the chip folks. If it was the chip it would not even boot up! Get real! I have 2 AMD systems here that run flawless. I would guess its a soundcard issue or a problem with a background software application. Remove soundcard and drivers and see if problem...

    New Tower Components

    why THE HELL is it so easy to do the wrong thing...

    Place your bets - QUIZ 2

    I wouldn't consider a short position in what I see. The chart I see is clearly uptrending so I short wouldn't be indicative. Actually I would be looking to enter long on a pullback.

    Is THIS what trading's all about ??

    Adapt to the current market conditions. Be patient and allow the market to come to you. If you are in a losing streak its time to reduce position size considerably. When you get back to a more balanced win percentage increase size again a little at a time.:)

    My dog Shreddy got run over by a car and I can't sleep

    those things can be pretty rough to go through with pets. I had to put my 17 year old cat to sleep in April. I cried like a baby! It was rough for my 4 year old daughter. I had to keep explaining to her that he was asleep and would never wakeup.:(
