My computer still isn't entirely happy - it gives me warnings on boot-up that the video card is not getting enough power.  I picked up a 480W Antec power supply today which should be cranking out enough juice to power all the computers in a small office, so the problem obviously lies elsewhere.

On the other hand, everything seems to be running fine now - leastwise there are no more lockups, crashes, or unexpected power losses.  I may have to do some digging on the manufacturer's site and see if they have any insight into this.

I decided to put my new system to the test, so we picked up a copy of World of Warcraft for me while we were out buying a power supply today.  I ran around taking care of various newbie quests before I wandered off and hooked up with [livejournal.com profile] atara.  She had a few things to do as well, and kindly let me tag along so that I could catch a bit of experience along the way.  I decided to go with a Horde character, and tossed together an undead warlock named Ulron.


Dead and loving it!

It doesn't complain about it during post, it complains about it with a requester after Windows loads.

That's why it could be a driver issue - though I'm leaning more toward hardware than driver at this point. In any event I spent enough on this card that I think I'm entitled to one that works right the first time. =/
