Re: PC problems. . .

It's usually pretty stable (outside safe mode) except when running a D3D application. The random crashes I spoke of outside of those programs only happen about once a month, so I've never stayed in safe mode long enough to tell. I just got a little aggrivated when it crashed near the end of a 20 hour 3dsmax render earlier today.

The random crashes in windows aren't too much of a concern (well, actually I'm pretty concerned because I don't know why they are happening, but they don't happen often). The clicking is annoying too, but if one of my HDs fail, oh well. I keep my system backed up, and I do have two of them.

It's the D3D stuff that's really bugging me. I can't play the games I got for Christmas! Plus, I have to run 3dsmax in OpenGL or softeware mode (not a big deal, but still).
