Has to be the original Homeworld on the hardest level. Some of those levels could take up over an hour and a half and that was if it was going good for you.

Nah, not military. Fort McMurray is just a town name in Northern Alberta. I'm actually working as a student intern for one of the oil companies up here.

Yes I built it but as for the parts, they are outdated and I was hoping to upgrade a bit. Plus, the case is a goner so no chance for a return there.

Well I don't want to spend the extra for the Core 2 Duo and the AMD's are not bad for gaming although they do pail in comparison. Plus, both companies are gearing to release their new processors in the fall and I need something to hold me out until then so I thought it was the right choice. Plus, intel boards are hard to come across with crossfire ability.

 

As for the courier, I have filled a claim on it for the price of processor and case.

I'm waiting for the playstation generation guy to come in and ask who Sega is? Anyways, Sega may be gone from the eye of the console market but they are still producing good games and I don't miss them because of that.

Ok, is your sound on in the operating system? If so, did you try removing the drivers and reinstalling them?

Well after moving up to Fort McMurray, Alberta for a 4 month workterm, I decided to have my gaming computer shipped up. After waiting 11 days for it, it finally arived and I was estatic. I went to the Purolator Depot and picked it, first noticing the box was slightly damaged. I got home, removed it from the box and to my shock, the case was damaged pretty badly. First a moving panel on the front was completely cracked off and the door protecting my CD/DVD rom drives wouldn't close anymore. Then I inspected the rest of the case and found that the top had been dented twice, the left side panel was now buckling outwards slightly and that the back panel was buckled slightly inwards. After panicking a bit, I quickly tried to start up the system but all that occured was the spinning off the fans and nothing at all. So I took the case panel off (Finding most of the case clasps had been bent/broken off) and began to troubleshoot. I finally was able to get it to boot once more but it quickly shut down soon after. So I decided to begin the painful task of troubleshooting. After using my friends computer, I found out that the processor was now officially dead. That being so means that I have to now replace my memory, motherboard, processor, and case. (S939 so time for an upgrade)

 

Currently, I'm looking for parts and have come up with this AM2 5200+ X2, ASUS M2R32-MVP, OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 (2x1GB), and the Antec Nine Hundred Gamer Case. My budget isn't unlimited so don't go saying "Buy this, buy that, it only costs 200 dollars more) but give any advice you want to give.

 

Also, I'm Canadian so please only use Canadian vendors/prices.

Don't have anything overclocked do you? Did you update your drivers to the manufacturers latest? Have you upgraded or changed anything recently, such as a new part or changed a setting?

All you need to do is carefully pry out the keys that you want to clean underneath. Just take a screw driver and gently lift up making sure you don't crack a key. Only need to pop out a few so you can wipe it out. Taking out the screws will just open up the electronics of the keyboard and you can't clean the ketchup out from that areas as it isn't in it.
