    Make sure you run a full memory / hdd scan on the pc to verify the hardware issue has been fixed

    memtest86+ - http://www.memtest.org/

    HDD scan - (find your manufacturer and throw it in a google search), it will be run outside of windows (make a boot cd etc.)

    Welcome back SSX :)

    Missed your comments a lot.....

    Remember that troll that " gave advice" to a newbie about turning a computer off whilst busy with a BIOS flash...

    We nailed the fool/troll. Ahh...the old days when we could give negative reps. Remember HenryMan??

    He had like 50 neg reps (waay into the red) and demanded that people give back his reps.

    He was banned and then tried sneaking back with another username. It was really funny when they bust him:

    HenryMan: Its me Henry....Don't let the Mods find out. They banned me. I've got a question.....

    BUSTED...

    Cheers,
    Theo
