..yeah, the memory stick issue was one. I'll try reseating the GPU after I shut the system down. Hopefully it is something that simple again.
almost november. rdna should be having their sale. can't remember if alphaseed goes on sale too. fantasy drops hair looks interesting.

whatssacominnago ?
people shut off their computer at night? i shut mine of after lunch.
here was my routine last Thursday:
finish eating lunch
turn off computer to put new hard drive in.
turn on computer and clone old data to new drive.
turn off computer and disconnect old drive.
turn on computer and test new drive.
eat dinner
notice that DVD drive isn't working
turn off computer
reseat IDE and Molex power connector to DVD drive
turn on computer
try to boot from recovery partition on new drive
computer won't boot correctly
Turn off computer
go to bed
use new computer without recovery partition until Saturday
Saturday:
plug in old hard drive
run chkdsk from new drive
restart computer and restore windows to old drive
restart computer, boot from old drive and create recovery CDs.
turn off computer
eat lunch
remove old drive from computer
turn on computer - no power
power connector to mother board is loose
reseat power connector to mother board
turn on computer
CPU fan is loud
turn off computer
clean CPU fan
turn on computer
power connect tor mother board is loose again
reseat power connector to mother board
turn on computer

Nah, the dragon is big - the terrain is just even biggah!
I'd have put a human next to her as well but... I was too lazy ^^
Whether the card came in a pre-built system or you bought it and put it in yourself, there is still a warranty on the items! It seems to me that you haven't had this new system very long.
Dana
Yes, re-seating the video card, and other cards as well, is a good idea.

I bought my current computer just over a year ago and except for power outages it's never been turned off. I don't even let it go into hibernation since neither Windows or Mac hibernation can be trusted to not corrupt your drive.
When I first got out of the Navy I worked for one of the major computer manufacturers and I've had power supply engineers say to never turn the system off as startup is the most stressful time for a power supply. I've had board engineers tell me not to power down since heating and cooling could actually cause issues with the solder joints.
Of course I've had other engineers tell me exactly the opposite so no matter what you do you're probably right :)
Morning. A bit of spring came back with the morning sun, blue sky and warm outside, bushfire alerts on the radio all morning :>)
Oh noes, we need a detective fast
I only turn mine off if there's a power outage or when I go on vacation. And I've had pretty good luck with them really. I don't update very often. When I do, I go all in, as much as I can afford to at the time. As things are now, the next time I can afford to do up a whole new system, there will probably be a Core i10 with 6 or 8 cores in it. What I'm waiting for is the crystal data storage. I don't know what they're waiting for. It may be permanent storage, but it would be virtually endless in capacity. I read about them years ago. Maybe only the rich have them already. Could be a big secret. :coolsmirk:
A laser would write and then read data from the crystal. When it seems the crystal is at capacity, the laser would change its angle just a hair, and have a clean slate (plane) to write to. The change in angle would be measured in a fraction of a degree, from what I remember. When I read this, I remembered the sci-fi of the early 70s...Star Trek, Buck Rogers, using crystals for data storage. The sci-fi writers are the actual innovators and inventors...the scientists and engineers simply see an idea and try to make it work.

Walk cautiously!

That was happening to me yesterday. When I changed the display per page # to 60, it fixed itself. No idea why but it seemed to be caching to that page (logged out) when displaying 15 per page. Even a hard refresh wasn't helping.
How long have you been holding him? Judging by how long his hair has grown, it must have been months now. :)
Just start cutting on him starting with his hair. :lol:
Well, if you say the R's one at a time, it kinda sounds like a seal barking. :)
Speaking of Air, I got a little popup message in my tray last night that I might not have the latest version. The thing is, I never had any version to the best of my knowledge. :-S
Dana
Then you definitely don't have the latest version. :)
quick test render of Kid 4 girl on an asteroid.
Memory usage:
Daz Studio 3 / 3Delight: ~290 MB
Video Card / openGL preview: ~ 90 MB
I might run out of video memory before I run out of system memory. Eeek.
Daz Studio spent almost four minutes rendering Renee hair and the shadows.
She's gonna need a pressurized spacesuit there. :)
Having computer problems right now.

OK, just happened again. This time a CTL-F5 worked to fix it. Must be some kind of onsite caching problem.

This is true. :smirk:
Dana
Cue Sting song...Walking on, Walking on the Moon.
Dana
And they threw in the Snail-Speedy Delivery for free. :)
After all that angst they put you though, I hope your new system is everything you wanted and more, Jade. :)
I've been playing with the new AoA Advanced Ambient Lights. Tons of fun and lots of test renders but nothing to show yet. But they are awesome.
I want to play with my new toys but this computer is having difficulty starting.
Funny, I am trying to make a spacesuit for the kids and young teens. I'm still trying to make a plain dress for Laura 3. i'm also trying to make my own little space station in Hexagon. Now all I need to learn is how to rig doors and windows.
o.k., bye

I actually had that concept in an old sci-fi RPG campaign I GM 'd. It used a three dimensional holographic crystal array. This was back in the 1980s.
...glad that course I took in abstract matrix algebra, actually had some use.
...I built it. On my budget couldn't afford a custom setup service.
