If there's any computer help thread on this forum, can someone please direct me to it?

My comp has been acting up since about 5:00 PM today; what happens is that I get the Windows 7 welcome screen and then it just goes to a black screen. I have a feeling this might be a RAM issue. My comp boots fine when I go into safe mode, but it just won't cooperate when I want to boot normally. There have been a couple times when I was able to conjure up the task manager when booting normally, but it quickly stopped responding altogether.

If anyone has had any similar problems, could you please post what you did as a solution or any hypothesis for what you think the problem might be?

It might be memory issue but I tend to agree with Mendalivan, could be a driver update or an application update causing the issue. The 101 question to always ask when stuff like this happens is, what changed last? If you suspect an application is the issue you may be able to go in to safe mode and disable start up items to see if the problem disappears. Go to Run, and type in msconfig then navigate to your start up items and turn off the suspects. Look at your windows event logs for system and application and see if anything is bleeding red.

I love the barbarian! Pimp slapping through the whole game with him

Happy 3 day weekend to those here in the states. Time for some D3!

gotta love plotics

keep an eye on the big guy to the left, he takes off his jacket, then his tie. hes ready for the fight. he becomes the centre of the fight very quickly

Too bad they outlawed fighting here in the US Congress while in session, it would make politics interesting again

20k is not even half as much as you need for Inferno. I have 37k.

Funny you talk about HP like it's money, I was thinking yeah 37/k in the bank is pretty good.

That will be fun, I plan on playing each character in normal mode first, then again in nightmare, and so on. I should have months of fun at this pace.

I can't believe how much faster I am able to plow through normal mode with the Barbarian. Just a brutal ass kicking tank!

Sorry I haven't posted a lot in the last few days, a lot of posts I see I want to comment on but work plus getting ready to close (finally) on a new house has kept me busy, even away from the gym for a few days. Kind of a happy yet frustrating thing. But I always wind my night down with at least an hour of Diablo 3.

Killed diablo on hell! Was sweating after!

:Thumbs Up:

Can't wait for work to end, need to go home and get me dose of D3

Nice shots Trombone! That looks like it was really cool.

Well, half way through nightmare. still liking the game, but I'm sure of one thing. It's going to be a long time until I'm good enough to feel confident trying hardcore. Deaths have ramped up in a drastic way.

I'm with you on hardcore. Funny I felt the urgency to get through the game when the characters put in the pressure how time was of the essence. I found myself pounding through the game faster than normal, what was I to do? I had to save Sanctuary for the Gods sakes! Which of course got me killed more than I would have otherwise with my usual slower more methodical approach. I'm loving the game though, so worth the wait!

Remember that time that the only person to add me in Diablo 3 was VegasRage... JERKS

- pleasure.

Thanks Trannsvaal for the toast, in retrospect I'm thinking I should have just used a private message, but I was still sucking on my first cup of coffee.

I said D3 overture sounds like warcraft, not D2 LoD. D2 LoD music is just awesome.

I am sorry i misunderstood.

Er.... Welcome to the site.... Won't it be kind of wierd being on the same site as your brother?

Here is my very own fan-made map of Sanctuary that includes most of the locations that we have ever heard about in the Diablo series (manuals and novels included). I designed it myself using Solomir's cartography.

Its about 6 x A4 pieces big. It was originally drawn up from the DII manual's map, but then just after it was nearly finished Blizzard released their own updated map. So of course I then had to go back and fix my map to reflect the current state of Sanctuary with the Worldstone's destruction and everything. But that is also why the shape of the map is a little different. But don't blame me, blame those inaccurate scribes at Blizzard :P.

And as more information gets released (like when the game finally comes out), I'll continue to update the map accordingly.

Just say one game, book, movie with a barbarian like the one you said been not a villan.

Oh, I was talking about the REAL ones. You know, vikings, celts, and what not.

Conan is a joke, seriously.

I agree with vegas :/..

the art direction is not bad, it just doesn't fit diablo at all, if we didn't know that diablo 3 was being made and we looked at that barbarian woman screenshot, we would never think that it's diablo 3, we would think it's from a new WOW game or something, but not diablo.

and blizzard is not changing the graphics because they already made most of the game using WOW ideas and WOW looking graphics, they said it themselves that diablo 3 is very influenced by WOW, and WOW makes money so if they take some things from WOW they are hoping to attrack WOW players too and hope it will be almost as big as WOW...all of us diablo fans will buy diablo 3, even if we like it or not just to see how it is.

Blizzard north really didn't think diablo would make a lot of money, they just made a great game (even with its few flaws it was still great) without thinking about making a lot of money, but this is not blizzard's case anymore, I remember when they listened to their fans and made games because they wanted to make great games, not because they wanted to make money.

there are way to many blizzard fans that think they can't do anything wrong, that they are game making gods or something and trust blizzard completely, I don't really think blizzard has made any good games besides diablo and diablo 2 (exp not included), WOW is total crap and played by losers and little kids. I remember playing diablo 1 and having the crap scared out of me, I was actually afraid to go in a fight the monsters and I'm sure a lot of you got at least chills playing diablo 1 and it wasn't only scary, but it wa salso fun and it took skill and thinking, but diablo 3 has lost the "diablo" heart and doesn't really feel like diablo anymore, diablo 1 had crap graphics, but at least they did what they were meant to do, inmerse you in the game and scare you.

It sucks that the graphics look colorful and too soft and have no texture or defenition at all, like most people say, they look like paintings, if I wanna look at a painting then I go to a museum, but I don't wanna kill a zombie that doesn't look like a zombie or walk through a monster infected section that doesn't look scary, graphics might not play an important part in most games, but they do in diablo, and I too like vegas don't play many games and carefully choose which ones to play because I don't have much time to play games and I rather use it playing a great game than just random other not so good games

blizzard's arguments about the gaem are not substantial either, it's all bull because they just DON'T wanna change the graphics and want to appeal to as many people as possible, thus they are aiming for a non mature rating too :/

This thread and people's stupidity and even Credge's WANNABE SMART act has me well over the edge to end it here as is if this is what D3's community will be like (Full off asswhipe wannabe smart guys, and no good jerks) then i would not very well like to be apart of d3. But with all that aside I would by it as the graphics stand now, Yea Its still a little Eerie to me Im not sticking myself in the stoneage of graphics here to play this game.

Hey man, it could be worse! its not like everyones going WUG WUW WUG WUW WUG WUW or anything like that. I would play so much to get my hands on that game now!
