My PC keeps shutting down as if someone just pulled the plug out the wall. It can happen after leaving the PC on for the whole day but more often it will be fine whilst I play multiple hours worth of whatever game I fancy and then it'll shut down. From that point on it will always start up but if I load up the game I was originally playing...it'll cut out again.
After spending quite a bit of time looking online for people with similar problems I've found some suggesting PC health options in the Bios, some suggesting drivers but more often than not, people suggest the PSU.
What do you guys reckon? I dont want to spend £75-£100 on a new one, only to find out I've still got a problem.
If the consensus is to get a new PSU...what would people recommend?

I just bought a server. After seeing 100+ people sign up for the steam group last night, I had a feeling on Tuesday we'd need a bigger boat server.
So I present to you Shacknews BF:BC2 #69 (Gameservers.com Chicago)
It supports 32 players as well.

Obviously I support Alco in his procurement of a server and if after a month or two both servers aren't needed I'll cancel mine. My intent is not to fragment the community, only to give us all room to play.
Cheers!

(He has some good commentary on some unit-specific Protoss tactics)
I watched some of razelbol's streaming this weekend, as Terran in Silver League. It's pretty fun to watch someone improve so much over a couple days. He's gone well past basic Marine&Marauders at this point, doing some awesome stuff like multi-prong (hawt) attacks and Banshee harass. I keep screaming NUKE in chat, hoping to convince him to nuke a Zerg already, since most Zerg seem to play with almost no detectors.
Anyway, share some fun!

With Demon's Souls on the shelf for now (I will go back to it because it is so good) I moved onto Valkyria Chronicles on Saturday and played a little bit more yesterday, before the APOCOLYPS3 hit. I haven't turned my PS3 on at all since then and didn't see issues when I did have it on, so I'm hoping if I just leave it off until more information comes out I will be fine. But this isn't a post about PS3s turning into doorstops... this is about my mission to defend Gallia at all costs!
I had played the demo of Valkyria Chronicles and decided I wanted to play the full game. So I asked for it for Christmas last year and received it and put it in the queue right behind Demon's Souls. I'm only on Chapter 5 right now (in a forest) and I haven't started the mission yet so I don't know what lies ahead other than I have been told to fear Chapter 7.
First impressions so far: this is a cool game. I haven't played a turn-based tactical combat game in a long time and even though much is different between this and that, it's really taking me back to X-COM. Some of the game mechanics (like "opportunity fire" taking place in real time) seem a bit odd but I play by the rules so I live with it.
I do like how you can spend time playing skirmishes to level up your men in case a campaign finds you outclassed. I like how certain soldiers will work well together but I need to sit down and spend more time exploiting that, since my current squad was pretty much just a "well I guess I should have this many scouts, this many lancers, this many snipers..." throwtogether. I need to be more assertive in utilizing potentials instead of just being pleasantly surprised when they kick in. The feeling of playing a part in a major war is done pretty well, especially in the cinematics.
I need much more experience in this game. Developing...

Wow, I take back any uninformed criticism I may have had about the Tricobalt Mobile Device Launcher. I didn't realize the explosive effects were AOE. I just took out 2 borg cubes and a sphere in one shot.
Also, PvP as Fed sure is a pain in the ass now that the BoPs have weapons that completely ignore shields.

My 360 pro that I bought a little over 2 years ago died with the RROD a few weeks ago. I had purchased an extended warranty from Sam's club, and called them about the issue. Because of some hiccups, they agreed to replace the 360 entirely. They then ordered a new 360 for me from ToysRUs (wtf?). I got that 360 last Friday, and promptly recovered my gamertag, transferred my xbla licenses to it, and popped in mw2.
After about 2 hours of MW2, the brand new console red ringed. Literally within hours of turning it on for the first time.
Fortunately, ToysRUs was nice enough to let me exchange the 360 at their store for a new one. Now I'm trying to transfer the xbla licenses to the new (3rd) 360, but apparently you can only use the transfer tool once every YEAR.
So I called in to see if they could do it over the phone, I had to go through 10 minutes of "troubleshooting" to be escalated to another level where I could have my issues resolved. Once I was escalated, I had to re-explain the entire situation to that guy and then he told me that he could not resolve the issue, but would escalate it to "the high department" and they would call me back within 48hrs to help me with my issue.
tldr; M$ $UXX()ORZ
just kidding, but seriously, this is a huge pain in the ass, it's really getting old having to jump through a bunch of hoops to play games because of Microsoft's poor manufacturing process. :( I am grateful though that ToysRUs let me return my Sams Club warranty xbox for a new one. We'll see if this new one lives through the night, or if a few hours of MW2 will kill it too.

I got it through GFWL this weekend because of the sale. i've tried installing it twice, both times getting an error "this program might not have installed correctly" for some physx exe. GFWL says that the install is corrupted and to retry....except the retry button doesn't do anything. i restart GFWL, and instead of the retry button, it just says play or uninstall.
when i go into the game options, physx is disabled. if i enable it, it says my card doesn't support physx. what the fuck? any of you guys run into this?

i searched google for the error, as well as the error code that showed up in GFWL, but nothing came up. more like GFTL >:(
