| I will optimize SE to run in SLI mode. Right now it works, but with some bugs (flashing of the screen, bugged lens flares, etc). After this I will purchase two Radeons and make SE work in CrossFire.
And of course I will use my old PC with GeForce 9800 GTX and my laptop with Radeon 5730M to debug SE on mid-end PC.

That's good. I was hoping you would say that. Need to use Space Engine on my laptop as well sometimes.

Hopefully this'll widen the audience to extreme PC gamers now. That's great, AMD needs some love too!

| My computer is fixed! My cousin discovered it was the power pack...
He also gave me his "new" graphics card, but it's basically the same (in performance) as the old one, I just changed between ATI and NVidia  (I could switch back to the old one)
The only problem is that the OS is cracked, and I don't like it... do you think I can install Win8? My cousin says I can't... (I have an iso "bought" on Microsoft's site)

Oclulus will have a rival but probably not anytime soon:

Also it may not be compatible with PC (that's my crude assumption based on the fact that it will be made for PS4)

It also has inferior specs to the Rift.

| So, sorry if this still happens to be the wrong place despite being Off Topic, but I feel the other areas for tech support is more aimed towards SE only., I've been getting a LOT of crashing. Just being idle, my screen will go black for 4 seconds then come back with this: http://puu.sh/8Au0I
It happens more frequently when playing /ANY/ game, video, or even opening the web browser.
With SE, I get this message instead: http://puu.sh/8AE76
I'm not sure what to do, I have already uninstalled Nvidia drivers through Start < Uninstall Programs. Then reinstalling afterwards.
This really, really sucks and I haven't been able to do much, it started happening after I started playing a game called Just Cause 2. I have also already did a restore to before this started happening. And I've been keeping an eye usually on the heat of everything through Speccy, and the max heat anything's ever reached is 60C.
Specs: Windows 32 bit
4 gigs ram
Asus GTX 660
AMD Phenom IIx4 965 4 cores ~3.4 GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
Corsair 650 Wat
Doesn't matter what game, can be an extremely easy to run game and the issue will happen immediately and shut off the game.
But now I'm at the point where, apparently, my BIOS is out dated. And, I hope do dear God updating this is all that's needed, but the problem is I'm having trouble figuring out how. I've looked up tutorials, but they're usually for other kinds of Motherboards, so I believe that most likely I need a different method for mine: and I can't figure out what.
I've DL'd the newest version, but I can't figure out what next. I have the 3 files, I acivated autoexe sicne it's what will automatically do it for you, but only to receive this: http://puu.sh/8AFbj.jpg
Sorry for the TL:DR, but just giving all info I can so who ever helps has all info he/she needs in-case there's more to this needed.

| I don't know much about this problem, only that I had the same thing you had
but it fixed itself after restarting the computer.
This sounds like a problem with the graphics card. Have you tried opening the case and taking a look at it to see if it's damaged?
You'd probably get better help posting in a tech support forum.
Did you make sure the game was virus-free?
And I think this belongs in here.

| Clean your case of dust. Boot into safe mode and uninstall all drivers(and/or clean out your registry), reboot and install latest drivers. Make sure your power cords are properly plugged into the GPU, could be a low voltage issue. If all else fails RMA your GPU as it could have a faulty voltage regulator or other issues.
Considering this is an Nvidia popup I am going with it being your GPU. Updating your mobo BIOS is risky, especially if you have no experience.
Also merged the thread.
Some decent minor monitoring tools

| If it is a timeout issue, it's possible that the timeout time value in the registry was altered somehow, though I don't really think so.
