yeah, i was getting alot of popups the night before too. by the way, this is a brand new computer i build myself, so i dont think that the hdd is dieing, considering it had been going fine for the past 3 weeks.

Also, I don't have access to the command prompt. The second i try running cmd.exe through task manager it just shuts down. I'm using an EVGA nForce 680i board, and I tried booting into safemode, but the same problem happens.

I'd go for a Geforce card over an ATI one, because of their ability to run games better (I've tested it) and also for possible dx10 capabilities.

Isn't torrentspy being monitored or something?

I woke up this morning and went to turn my computer on, only to find out that nothing on the desktop was displaying (no icons, no start button, no taskbar). I hit ctrl+alt+delete and went to New Task... and tried to run explorer.exe. About 3 seconds later, I got a "Windows Explorer is Not...

Well guys, I unplugged everything except the mobo power, cpu power, and graphics external power, and my computer posted! I guess I did something wrong with the fans then... I'll keep trying. Thanks for your help.

I don't see where it says that, but I'll take your word for it. Thanks for the help everyone. I'll let you know how everything went.

You might want to have considered quad and a better psu.

Yeah, the system requirements for Diablo are next to nothing; 233 MHz Pentium or better, 32MB RAM, DirectX compatible video card. It's most definitely not the requirements. Since Diablo is an older game, Blizzard isn't using as high quality servers as it was, and that c ould affect it (doubt...

What I did with my old system was I installed the new hard drive as the master and the old one as slave and just copied the files over. Worked fine for me.

I just tried putting it after the string, and I still get the Parameter is not valid error. I know how to delete the file, it's just I'm not sure if the parameter error means the file doesn't exist or I'm doing something wrong.

Every time I boot up Windows, I get an error that says I need to repair (it says it's missing a file). I've been reading that in order for me to repair my Windows installation without loss of data, I need to delete a file called undo_guimode.txt in the system32 folder. I open up the recovery...
