I'm thinking about getting this one monitor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313
It's 144hz and decent price, g-sync monitors are looking nice but I'm not about to spend $700 on one.

that's actually the monitor that's compatible with the DIY gsync kit (that's no longer available)

there should be some 24" 1080p gsync monitors coming out soon

so i've posted before about my problem with games crashing.
i thought this was a RAM problem...now i think it is just the games.

my girl has been playing Tomb Raider for hours before the occasional crash.
when i play Metro Last Light i crash every 15 minutes.

just ran threw Next Car Game for 40 minutes and no problems....i think it's poorly optimized ports that cause the crashes.

anyone have frequent crashes with Metro Last Light?

Have you ran a memtest overnight to rule out the ram? If crashing only during games it can be caused by unstable clocks. Are you overclocking your card at all? If not try increasing its voltage with EVGA Precision. If that doesn't work try uninstalling your video card drivers with DDU and reinstalling the latest version. Now if that don't work walk to the nearest bodega, and cop some white rice, grain size doesn't matter much, as long as its white.

That's not common

i have not run memtest overnight.
if i do, do i need to run multiple instances of it for every core my CPU has?
a window pops up when i open up memtest that tells me that.

i am not overclocking anything.
my drivers are all up to date...what is DDU?

i only experience crashes while gaming and they are not system crashes, just the game.

i have rice on deck.

if i run memtest overnight, what should i look for in the morning?
should i rum multiple instances for each cpu core?

Are you sure your GPU is not overheating?

53c is the highest i've seen.
i keep my EVGA Precision running while i game.
my case is a HAF32 and my fan game is tight.

You can choose multiple cores or just one, doesn't matter much if you're running it over night (all it does is speeds up the passes). If you don't see any red in the morning then it isn't your ram. Make sure its memtest86+ you're running.

Can be got here, http://www.memtest.org/
Or here, http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ (i recommend this, shyt comes in handy)

So steam hasn't charged me for Borderlands yet, but it's letting me pre-load.

Did I just get this game for free?

It can take like two weeks.

I did a purchase with impeccable timing - literally as soon as the steam servers went down not that long ago, but it caught up to me eventually. I went two to three weeks without them picking up the payment but it happened.

The servers might have gone down, but GABEN is ALWAYS watching...you know this.

Doesnt sound like the games bro..check that ram or cpu...unless ur getting display driver crashes...than thats the gpu...honestly if its only games it could be a gpu or driver issue...if the whole computer is crashing than that sounds more like a ram or cpu issue...
