I recently built a new computer and am trying to install games on it but whenever I try to install a dvd game then I get an error message that says setup exe. has stopped working, check online for a solution. This will only happen for dvd's but not for cd's like battlefield 2. Is this a problem with vista or did I install it the disk drive wrong or something? Any help would be appreciated.

I just build a new computer with a Q6600 with the stock heatsink and my CPU is running at like 60C. Should I fork up some extra cash for a new heatsink or did I do something wrong with installation.

I did go to tigerdirect but it was about $350-$400 more expensive there.

I'm building a computer and I'm ordering the parts from newegg. Unfortunately newegg is super lame and won't ship to Canada so I need a friend in the US to order the parts and then ship them to me in Canada. My question is what will the shipping and taxes/duties cost for this? The total is about $1200 is parts.

This is the new case I was thinking of getting, but would it be worth it to get an extra fan?

Well I was going to get the Q6600 that serbsta69 recommended but is the E6850 a faster CPU? And yes this is my first build but I will have a friend who has built a computer or two with me.

Also just wondering if the processor comes with a cooler, or do I need to get that separately?
