    power supply monitoring?

    if the power supply is failing, would it get hot first? I'm not sure how the auto-protect feature works. Do they switch off due to Temp or do they switch off due to power load? Or both for that matter? I ask b/c i opened my computer and have been manually monitoring the temp of my power...

    power supply monitoring?

    sg, I was looking at an Antec SmartPower 500 Watt that is on sale at CompUSA. But since you are having success with yours, would you mind telling me what kind you are using now?

    power supply monitoring?

    I'm having a bunch of difficulty figuring out what's going on with my civ4. Most of the time, I get a hard crash/reboot. Once in a while, I get a blue screen. I have tried many of the fixes posted here, but I'm starting to wonder if it is my power supply. At one point, someone had mentioned...

    Not so savvy-v1.52

    If you download it from the firaxis (or is it take2?) web site, then you need to double-click on it and it will then self-install.

    Patch 1.52 NEED HELP

    make sure that when you uninstall, everything gets erased. When I have uninstalled, I noticed that it leaves behind 3 directories (some with a couple of files in them): 1. c:\program files\%wherever you installed the game% 2. \my documents\my games 3. \documents and...

    Running 1.52 patch, and game is still laggy

    oooops. oh yeah, i increased the page file, too, but I don't think that was the difference maker for me. I forgot all about that. Sorry i forgot to mention it. Hey, how did that Ram Def XT program work? And where did you find it (if you don't mind my asking)? It's funny how...

    bsod, reboot, hard freeze... crc.dat? arrrghhh...

    bsod, reboot, hard freeze... crc.dat? arrrghhh...

    So, I bought Civ 4 the day it came out and like many people here have not been able to play it longer than 1 hour. Usually, it crashes after 5-10 minutes (at most). I feel like I have done my due diligence by surfing this forum and the other major Civ 4 forum (i don't know if it is taboo to...

    Running 1.52 patch, and game is still laggy

    My personal experience with the 1.52 patch..... I had (and still have) a bunch of CTD of BSODs, so I tried many of the suggestions in this forum. Then, when I patched to 1.52 I had problems with choppy video, etc (which was new to 1.52). SOooooo, I did a fresh install of Civ4 and patched...
