Yup. Figured it was the mobo causing the issue. Sucks to have bought a new power supply for nothing though an upgrade is never a bad thing. :)Quote:

Yeah, I probably needed a new power supply anyway. The one I had was only 600 watts and the new one is 750... I was probably pushing the capacity of what it should be anyway.Quote:

PC is now back up & running... nice to get 100% confirmation that it was the motherboard. I decided I'd take the opportunity to go ahead and finally install my SSD since I was pretty much going to need to do a fresh Windows install anyway. I now have 4 storage drives:
90GB SSD - Windows
250GB Velociraptor - Programs/My Documents
1TB Samsung - Games (Steam, Origin, etc.)
3TB Seagate - Media (movies, music, pictures, etc.)

Jealousy is me. Damn.
Outlast... the first-person, combat-free horror game about investigating an asylum, coming to Steam this summer.

Any suggestions for a turn based strategy game? Enjoyed Civ IV. Is V decent? Anything else out there?
Civ V is only good with the expansions.Quote:

A bit more simplified and not quite as wide open maps as Civ IV, but still very fun, with some improvements that make for much better game play, for example, no more death stacks that enable you to throw dozens of units at a city at once, now each plot of the map can only be occupied by a single army, so you've got to better plan out your attacks when going to war with another leader.
Thanks smoothQuote:

I'll take one if you have it still. I've been diving headfirst into MOBAs lately (playing the hell out of League of Legends in the past 2 months or so).Quote:

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing released today on Steam. Can't wait to give it a try later tonight.
How is it? I am interested but I might hold out until the summer sale.Quote:

ALWAYS loved the Civ series but haven't picked up V yet. Looks like some of you have played it. Where is the best place to get the full game (all the expansion packs etc...) - Steam?
I'd say your best bet is to wait for the Steam Summer Sale where it could be as cheap as $5 or $10. I know a couple months back the entire package with all DLC to date was on sale for $10 or $15.
Civilization IV Complete + Civilization V Gold + XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) - $19.99 (83% off) on AmazonQuote:

They have a deal going where you can purchase the full game and all 47 addon courses for $29.95
http://www.linkscountryclub.com/proshop
Seems like it's a good deal. Going to try the demo.
EDIT: I tried the demo version on my new PC it's running Windows 7 64 bit and it keeps giving me an error, when I searched this error it means the software I'm trying to run is not compatible with a 64-bit op system.
So I installed it on this PC runnings windows Vista and it seems to work. It looks like a nice golf game.

If you decide to go this route or just get the game by itself, head over at another site - Links Corner - you have access to just over 2,000 user made course, many of them real courses (Augusta, Bethpage, Pinehurst 2, etc, etc, that can all be downloaded for free.

I believe thats everything including gods and kings, so yes its a good deal but if you can think of something else you want I think the deal I posted is better, because its effectively 5.00 per game.
I believe what they are calling complete is the same as the gold.
Went to the direct link and its IV complete not V complete. If you want 5 you have to buy the game and then the whatever pack.Quote:

Then yes I would go for the other deal(good deal)......its a better deal unless you can hold out for the summer sale and hope something better comes along.
I was also going to look at civ 5 during the steam summer sale. However, does anyone know if it is windows 8 compatible?
It is.Quote:
