Here is my theory; everything in your syst uses power and will need to take that into account. That does include DVD, all flavors, CD, all flavors, MB, all expansion cards, HDDs, the amount of RAM, etc. I personally burned out a p/s not having enough jiuce to power everything in my syst. With the more up to date rigs, you will need to buy a large enough p/s to run everything.
I forgot to add fans also need juice. This will also include water cooling also. Your friendly neighborhood pc tech.

Thank you Doolittle. I just leave you with the following blast from the past from Skyhawk:

If the problem, isolated to my satisfaction, comes to the attention of the devs and they can find a way to fix it, this thread will make the difference for hundreds of people, determining that they can play SH4 instead of being frustrated by a vista/SH4/8800 series graphics card incompatibility. I stand by my original opinion that solutions start when we stop trying to blame others and work on the problem. I'll take whatever blame comes my way as the legitimate price of progress. It's a price I'm proud to pay.

As I posted before not an "unseen" problem with other sims on other platforms. A problem that crops up with new hardware and the software driver and OS. Of course the outcome may not be a BSOD but some other strange rendering or artifact. Here we have the worst case scenario for folks running Vista+8800+Nvidia+SH4 1.5 = BSOD. Unacceptable in my opinion. I would be screaming also! If someone can pull a string and have someone look at this...it would be great! Other than that who needs a drink? I am buying.

Arrrrr! Just let me buy the first one for icecold for hanging in there for the good of everybody. I'll fight with him, for him, or over him any time.

Ok, here is what I would do to isolate the problem. Look at Vista first, the registry, then the drivers. Then SH4.
I will tell you guys that I dont have Vista handy to give you guys any help. Just suggestions.

Again: VISTA + 8800GTX + NVidia Driver of choice + Pacific Environment MOD + SH4 1.4 = Smooth running of SH4 VISTA + 8800GTX + NVidia Driver of choice + Pacific Environment MOD + SH4 1.5 = BSOD Logically, the parameter which changed was, by definition, SH4 1.5. That is why the Romanian developers are best positioned to compare SH4 1.5 to 1.4 to identify/know what files or engine 'code' was changed. It would seem to me that the developers/programmers could, therefore, very likely isolate the probable cause of the BSODs in a matter of merely a few hours.

Please do not close this thread simply because there might be a hijacking attempt by someone with personal rants unrelated to the technical issue being addressed here. Meanwhile, hopefully someone of authority (Moderatopr/Admin) might be able to draw the SH4 Romanian developers attention to this issue related to SH4 1.5. Thanks.
