I'm going to email a follow up log here just to make sure that is the case and you guys don't see something I don't. The KB posted above suggests a mem check, check the power supply, or overheating so I'm going to get some monitoring tools to make sure it's not overheating. I have a feeling the power supply is crummy.

Thanks for the response and look forward to next week's show!

Also bad RAM Timings can casue the issue. Run CPU-Z and check that SPD and memory tab show both the same values for the frequency that the RAM is currently running at.

Watched all of them.

In regards to Windows 8. I would like to put out a man vs desktop challenge to Gov. Do an show using Windows 8 on your Laptop and see if all the viewers agree the desktop / laptop expirence is better now.

You can most likely sence I do not like windows 8 as a desktop user.

Can you dog food your product for one show ?

I expect you will need LOTS of metro blocks or more likely rely on text search to get to apps. I am finding it very hard to beat the windows 7 desktop enviroment in windows 8 preview.

This is done to get mouse movement without having problems when the cursor reaches the screen borders. They do it this way because it's not too easy to get correct acceleration data when using the Win32 mouse constrain APIs.
