I will run memtest and chkdsk and occt at some point in the next few days. Knowing my computer however, it will probably all come back perfectly fine just to spite me.

Oh I forgot about updating everyone on this. chkdsk ran no problems. I never suspected the hard drive so that was no surprise. I never got around to running OCCT to check temps/other issues. I tried to run memtest but my computer will not boot from the CD (an older one, I burned a long time ago and used multiple times so I know it works). The BIOS was set correctly and when I tried to burn a new disk I burned nothing but coasters which got old after like the 5th coster being burned at like 16x.

Either way, I only did the basic stuff in the swamp area in witcher and left. No problems since then. There are some other people online who also had some crashing problems in the swamp area but most of those folks were running original release and supposedly that problem was fixed in later patches.

Almost makes me want to go back to AMD someday just for shits/nostalgia.

Try burning memtest at a much lower speed....maybe the CDs have gone bad if they are old....

I got my RAM back from RMA Corsair....not 100% stable at my current settings (LinX failed at 4 minutes 45s slightly overclocked from 1600 to 1625 MHz....) so thats a bummer. Otherwise still running....

OCZ leaving "lower end" markets (memory mostly). Will focus only on higher end stuff. A profit margin/competition decision apparently.

Speaking of OCZ....so I RMAed a dead 4 GB Diesel flash drive back to them on which they recieved it on August 9th. 2 weeks later still no status update or as to when they would ship out a replacement/repair. I sent a unsatisfied letter to the CS department, and I got Hello and a tracking number showing me that they are airmailing me a replacement straight from Taiwan that same day.

I loled a bit when I saw that.

*edit*

Looking up shipping prices, I'm impressed.

FedEx International First® 4218.00 NTD -> $131.82 USD
FedEx International Priority® 2450.00 NTD -> $76.56 USD
FedEx International Economy® 1818.00 NTD -> $56.81 USD

There are people who openly engage in this. The fact that it is not against the law is pretty telling about the state of that system.

So I got another email from "ncsoft support" I'll just copy paste the part that I found fantastic:

An investigation of your AION account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded. As you may not be aware of,this conflicts with Blizzard's EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:

Well shit guys my ncsoft account isn't in compliance with AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT COMPANY'S EULA. They also used a phone number that didn't make sense 1800-59-AION which of course isn't a valid number. It's starting to get pretty ridiculous with the fishing attempts on accounts now. I do feel somewhat sorry for these companies that have to fix all the accounts that are fucked up because dumbasses just click on links that they shouldn't and sign into their accounts.

I think there is something fishy with my internet connection tests.

[kuhla]

I pretty much always ending testing my connection when one of those gets posted wishing somehow that the numbers got higher than last time. They never change> *sigh*



In other news, I am sick.
