Honestly, I'd bet money on one (or more) bad sticks of RAM. If you can't narrow it down, just get new RAM and be done with it. It's not too expensive these days anyways.

Oh, and don't be concerned if Windows updates fail. I've done completely fresh installs of Windows that have had some of the very first batch of updates fail. Most of the time, it's because you downloaded a different update that had to include another update as part of it, then the first update won't install properly and fails everytime forever and ever. Just hide the update and ignore it.

Functioning, but then locking up is almost always one of these (in order of most likely):

- Bad RAM (highly likely!)
- Fried motherboard
- Fried CPU (very unlikely these days, unless it's due to a fan failure, which is less a "CPU" issue, and more a "cooling" issue)

Usually what happens with RAM is, it's functional until the bad sectors get read/written to/from and then it locks up. For a fried motherboard, it often works until everything heats up, then microscopic cracks in the MB heat up and expand, either short circuiting or cutting of a circuit that is required causing the whole thing to lock up.

Any of these COULD have been caused by a bad power supply, but usually you can tell "power" issues if you have variations in power supply sound (not just different fan speeds, but more like flickering and stuff like that).

Hope this helps! Start with good RAM and see if that helps (either 1 stick at a time, or good RAM from another comp)

I thought google labs was shut down a number of years ago

Not in the least! I use tons of the features of Labs (it's under Settings -> Labs) in GMail.

I wasn't a big fan of gmail going though my mail text to determine how they might want to spam me with advertisements.

I actually enjoy the overall integration of services offered by Google. I am one of those willing to give up marketing information on myself to use a service for absolutely no charge. When you consider the cost of similar products to provide all the services that Google does, I just can't justify the costs or the lower quality of those services. Google Now is honestly one of my favorite applications on my Samsung Galaxy SII. It's one place where I can find:
-Current weather where I'm at (plenty of other apps that would do it, but very clean)
-Current scores for all the teams I like
-Notifications about items I've purchased that have been shipped/delivered (scans my GMail for tracking numbers)
-Traffic to/from our clients, with alerts if it's going to take me longer than usual to get to a meeting due to traffic
-Nearby restaurants (great when I'm traveling for business)
-much much more!

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of apps that would serve each of those functions well (except the traffic alert part since it involves calendar integration), but Google does it all in ONE APP! With a clean and easy interface. In fact, it hides most of those cards except when it knows I'll need them, but they're only one click away if I do. Not to mention I can do all kinds of searching from within the app as well. To me, it's finally an app that does what apps SHOULD do, help people and make their lives easier, NOT more complicated with technology! And all of that for free! It wouldn't be able to do half of those functions without me providing the data they collect as a "fee" for their services, so I am willing to make what I consider a fair trade: info for services.

If it's something I really want to keep private, well that's when I use other independent services!

Glad you like it! Just keep in mind it may not ALWAYS get the honor off due to range issues, but it should get it 90% of the time. I use this with my sampire thrower and a Demon slayer cyclone and it's rare that I even take damage (and if I do, it gets healed automatically).

UOMaddogs' Script Library / Re: Maddog's Automator
« on: May 03, 2013, 07:47:03 AM »
I haven't uploaded the newest version yet. I was waiting on some answers regarding the buffbar scanner. It appears many users were having issues when there were more than 4 icons in the buff bar (or perhaps CERTAIN icons, though I don't know which). Haven't had the time to have an in-depth discussion with EN about it to figure out if it's a logic issue in my script or a buffbar issue.

I've used Gmail since the days before it was even open to the public (a friend and I got beta-accounts back in high school). I can't say I've seen any other service that can compare to the features of Gmail / Google account! Most people don't even realize all the awesome stuff in the "Labs" section of Gmail that is supposedly alpha/beta-ready, yet still works better than full services like AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, etc.

Haven't look at this one in sooo long, but I realized I got the #clilogged variable wrong! On the following lines, #clilogged should be checking for ZERO not ONE!

Code: [Select]
 until ( #clilogged = 0 ) || ( #charghost = YES )
  while #charghost = YES
     wait 40
until #clilogged = 0
halt

I'll update the script and reupload it!

45 Spirit Speak

UOSteam / Re: AssistUO

When I'm using AssistUO it would crash every other time (like seriously alternating) I opened UO with it. Was pain, but I'm still getting used to it.

With the next publishes, that studded piece might be great!

That's an issue with my script. I haven't had time to update to a newer version thanks to work being ridiculous!

Off Topic / Re: Ram - How much ram do you have in your system ?
« on: March 12, 2013, 12:08:48 PM »
I run with a minimum of 16GB these days. Should definitely be at least DDR3 as well. Remember RAM = more programs open at once, if you want your computer faster overall, consider upgrading your hard drive to an SSD.
