I'm an online racer. On occasion, I race for money, and I have won money. That's what I do. Predictably, I also follow real racing, that is the other thing I do. All else is rather normal (except in blue states). I'm a republican. If you are a hippie (that means you too commies), I hate you, and I always will, so don't even try change it. I don't want to hear you're hippie opinions.

Well That Was Uncalled For

Come on Carl, Brad didn't even do anything this time. Has Brad Keselowski done some wrecking of his own? Sure, nothing quite that blatant, but he has made some bad decisions. That said, he's gotten some bad press for 3 incidents in particular where he did nothing wrong. At Talladega when Carl ended up in the fence, Carl was blocking and Brad couldn't go any lower. NASCAR caused that crash with their decision to take the win away from Reagan Smith the Talladega race before. Second was at Dover when he and Hamlin got together. Hamlin came down and checked up while Brad held his line, and he got blamed for the crash. Now at Atlanta, Carl is blaming Brad when Brad was already all the way down on the yellow line and Carl came down. The announcers aren't exactly defending him either. The guy's got a bad name (I guess, even Kyle Busch doesn't get this treatment for the shit he's pulled so I suppose he doesn't), but that doesn't mean he's at fault every time he's involved in some sort of incident.

The issue is that kids coming in to the sport feel entitled. They've always won in whatever they've raced beforehand and they think they're God's gift to racing when they get to the big leagues. Kyle is getting better about this. Brad is just the newest example. He'll get better about it too. I have to deal with so many prima donnas at my kart track; I can only imagine it gets worse as you go up the ranks. That's the thing about racing - it is a team sport, but it is based so much on the driver, that egos build very quickly. Very aggravating, for me anyway.

Perfect example: check this show out, if you get HD Theater.

Pyramid Hefeweizen. A wheat beer. Not the best, but I hadn't had it before and thought I'd try it. Certainly not the worst. No, it's a nice beer to enjoy.

I'd do what you're thinking try and get it replaced and add cooling to the area.

Poorly constructed could be like a bad batch of chips in that they don't disapate heat and then overheat and or the cooling methods applied are inadequate.

What your saying has me thinkng of a failing graphics card maybe due to cooling issues. Could also be an odd virus. But more than anything it has me thinking the graphics card is failing.

I can't see the new hdd having anything to do with it unless you buggered a connection when installing. Or some odd like thruput problem. Are you running anything from that drive required to play said games?

Double check all power connnections to fans and things. Also when playig can u see the gpu's fan working etc, focus your external fan cooling on the gpu and see if t affects it

Yea 450 for 350 should be good I'd say. I would stop using it intenesly esp. gaming till you get the cooling sorted. You may even have a poorly constructed gpu. Searched the internets for any known cooling issues with that car.

Strange, maybe it is the pwsupply. Or possibly the new 2nd drive, have you tried disconnecting it (just the power if you want) and reproducing the crash?
