As most have posted, upgrade your video card, an 8400 is not going to cut the mustard. 8800gt might help. Even then though your ram is a bit low and your dual core aint the fastest. The only other option I can think of is to check your bios drivers. I had a lot of issues with my pc until I squared the bios away. That's what you get for building yourself though:) Unfortunately I don't know what kind of motherboard you are running to lend any help.

Anyway as another person said, don't hate on me for pointing out the card and CPU issues. Hopefully what I posted might help, especially considering you are having crashing problems. Also consider upgrading your motherboard chipset drivers as this can also eliminate problems.

Hi,

I too would like to know a way to set my 5.1 up. I have just purchased an Xbox 360 Elite with HDMI. My 5.1's do not have HDMI and I do not want to buy another set. I do not have the HDMI cable yet as it was missing from the box. I have requested they send it to me but will I be able to use it and is it any clearer than the hd composites I have in now?

The short answer. HDMI will be vastly clearer than any form of composite. Just a query though, what do you mean by your 5.1's do not have HDMI? A bit confused at this end

something i like to know is, i know you can upgrade the memory, but how do you do it? do you just buy 2 laptop HDD and put them in yourself or do you need a somputer tech to do it?monkeyd_93

No mate it is easy, the instructions are in your PS3 manual at the back. Buy a SATA laptop HDD (go with a 5400rpm it is cheaper) then just follow instructions. There are stacks of posts on the web and GS also did an article about how to do it in their tech section.

Good luck mate.
