I appreciate any help with: http://www.eightforums.com/bsod-crashes-debugging/67879-bsod-while-gaming-irql-not-less-equal.html Thank you! I know you guys are busy.

I recently received a BSOD while gaming. I noticed that I did not have a minidump file although Windows is configured to create one to my system SSD. My machine boots/reboots fairly fast (SSD), so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it. My profile is updated with the latest...

Hello! I have 50/5 at home and just looking for ways to get the best out of my internet"z". Last night, I ran a benchmark against my ISP's internet servers and then against Level 3 and a few others. My ISP's DNS servers are slower than frozen molasses compared to Level 3. So, I've since changed...
