Yep, build your own. More fun and builds confidence. Besides there are lots of folks here who would be thrilled to help.
-
Well, maybe you should get both, then you could report back with a definitive analysis

Ah, good points HeyYou and Arion that`s my thinking too. Good point about checking with the cable folks.I`m really glad I posted this. Thank you all so much. I`m kinda looking at the motorola SB6120 but I`d better check further.
This is a good piece, I've been using one for quite a while, no issues, and it beats paying $60.00/year

A couple of comments.
Thermaltake, Corsair, OCZ; all, generally good stuff...check reviews.
Memtest86: http://www.memtest.org// Will help rule out failing memory.
Back to PSU's.
Single 12 volt rails are nice, but in the very high power range, they are problematical.
With multiple 12 volt rails, you, obviously, have to ensure that the load is properly balanced.
One other thing; you stated an issue with the 5 volt line. Using lots of USB devices?
If so, consider getting an externally powered USB port (Belkin makes a nice one). The 5 volt line is very often overlooked, and very often the source of otherwise inexplicable shutdowns.
Good luck

Just for grins, is your speaker setup the same as Oblivion's, ie stereo or what?

For all of the grace, good manners and patience you've displayed in troubleshooting this, I think you really, really deserve a problem-free reinstallation of Oblivion. And cookies. I will keep my fingers crossed for you, Sealwarrior.
Boy, I so agree, Sealwarrior has been one of the politest and most courteous posters it has ever been my pleasure to experience.
Don't know if it's allowed, but here's a link to a uninstall/reinstall procedure that has worked for many people:

OK, I'm beyond my paygrade here. But try resetting windows media player as your default MP3 player.
-
I agree, this is kind of weird. I too would like to see a Dxdiag.
Question? Did you try reinstalling Directx?
And I repeat the K-lite packs are intended for Windows 7: http://www.majorgeeks.com/K-Lite_Mega_Codec_Pack_d5230.html
-
The K Lite Mega pack I linked you to is, according to the website for Windows 7 too.
-
An IRQ conflict would show up in every application. Not just one. I don't think that's it.
Another member on the beth boards was having the same problem, reinstalling the klite basic codec pack fixed his issues.
HeyYou is right, I remember this post.

My vote, as said by others, would be for Logitech's G5 Laser. I've had mine for quite a while now with no issues.
-
A couple of things that may be relevant.
Since you're using a soundcard (presumably with hardware acceleration), you should disable the motherboard audio.
Consider reinstalling directx (redistributable is available at Microsoft)
Since directx 11 is not fully backward compatible with directx 9. consider installing directx 9 (available at Microsoft or on your Oblivion disk)
Lastly; when the sound stops, verify that the lines in the oblivion.ini
bMusicEnabled=1
bSoundEnabled=1
did not get set to 0 somehow.

It took me a while, (I'm kind of slow sometimes)
Congratulations DR

Welcome, lots of addicts here
-
Welcome. And don't worry about the questions; it seems that is what this place is all about.
-
Hope you like it here, I do.
-
This a great place to learn stuff, nice people too!
-
Welcome, this is a pretty interesting place
-
Don't lurk so much (not that I should talk).
You've got a lot going for you, and are clearly an asset to the whole TES thing.
Anyway, welcome here.

the 186.18 won't work with my card, because I have a laptop.
This is news to me, however I see HeyYou is looking at this, you'll be fine
-
Might as well add my comment.
Welcome Narks, you are in rare company indeed.
-
I don't know if this is the right place to say this, but Fonger has probably forgotten more about TES games than most of us will ever know.
I say it again, welcome to the famous Fonger (missed you, big time at Bethesda's forums)
-
My goodness, the famous Fonger.
I look forward to your posts.
Welcome.
(This place is getting loaded with famous people!)

It's a GeForce 8600M GS. Yes I had no issues with that driver before the update problem and the failures to boot that resulted. What I don't understand is why installing the driver caused the no-boot problem.
Edit: However, the most recent driver for that card is actually the 195.81 BETA not the 179.48. I was told at some point that using slightly older drivers would improve Oblivion's performance.
This Video card seems to work best with the 186.18 drivers.
Many users have reported problems with Oblivion and the 192xx drivers (I don't recall any remarks about the BETA drivers)

Build or buy...
in Hardware/Software Support
Posted
I build my own every time. Not because I object to buying pre-built, but because I can never seem to find the capacity I want. As far as support is concerned, I mostly don't need it. Although I have to say ASUS support, although spotty, is the most technologically competent.
