In conclusion: I’ve been playing a lot of Zelda on my DS...
So: a couple months ago, I picked up Bioshock on Steam (no DRM). I went to play it and… was informed that my video card sucked.
So, this week I looked at my bank and said “hey, I’ve got some extra cash. I can totally buy a new video card.” Looking at the specs on my motherboard, though, it turns out that I’ve only got room for a PCI-E(X4), and any video card I get needs to be PCI-E(X16). So, I tacked on a new motherboard to my order.
The parts arrive, I go to install them, and windows wants to be reinstalled. Fine.
I format my C drive, go to reinstall windows, and… My RAM is bad– every time it hits a bad sector (often!), windows crashes. I had noticed this problem before, but didn’t quite realize it was the RAM. Now windows won’t reinstall.
So: I ordered new RAM. It should arrive today.
