That's what I'm starting to think as well. Probably vid card, which of course is the only part in the entire damn thing I've bought in the last 3 years.

I'd start with memtest86 and then Prime95 just to rule out CPU and RAM.

I found some sweet gear while soloing. I have 2 sniper guns one that does insane flame damage to flesh creatures and another that does insane explosion damage. I now cycle between the two depending on the mobs.

Then I have a sweet electrical revolver that stuns and DOTs. It's also powerful and has a fast reload time.

Finally I have a wicked Assault rifle that only holds 12 bullets at a time and fires 4 bullets in a short bursts. Sounds weak, but each burst does insane critical damage and the reload time is less then a second.

Ouch..could your new vid card be causing your power supply to trip?

This game is really boring if you play solo.

**xclite** · 10-28-2009, 04:58 PM

I've been enjoying the solo play. My sentry blows things up now, I have an epic rocket launcher, and my array of weaponry is fantastic besides that. Wouldn't mind another "Sharky night" now the the worst of my week/two weeks seems to be over.

Had it for just over a year and two months or so, so it's not really "new" anymore. Comp had no problems whatsoever in that time until DDO a few weeks ago.

You installed DDO and started having these issues?

A co-worker of mine has a new Core7 920 system from Dell that worked well. He installed DDO and the computer would turnoff after 5 min of playing DDO.

He thought it might be a PSU issue, but now I'm wondering if DDO is doing something funky

DDO crashed for me...just like LOTRO when I had EAX turned on. I turn EAX off and everything runs smooooooth.

After running the tests Kama mentioned and getting the OK, I tried playing again and the comp promptly crashed. I recalled that it didn't start crashing until I took the Scar mini-boss subquest, so the next time when I started the game up I left Skag Gully as soon as I could and ran around doing quests in Arid Badlands. Played for an hour or two by myself, then later on played an hour or two with a friend with no problems at all.

I think there's something about Scar spawning that is causing my computer to crash.

Strange Glitch...check the gearbox forums and post it. Could be something minor.

In other news, this game is awesome with people. I have blast soloing, but it rocks with people.

What do you all think about a Borderlands movie?

I think you could make a petty slick 2 film series about the group of 4 trying to find the vault.

First movie covers back stories and basic involves the group getting half way before one of them gets kidnapped and the other 3 have to save the 4th member. During the course of which they become a stronger team and the first movie ends with them really becoming a group.

Second movie focuses more on the vault and them actually finding it.

About to finish up New Haven, and I think I'm halfway to level 29. That shotgun I have is quite the savior. I'm thinking once I beat it, I'll try to respec into an arena build that relies less on a strafe-able turret and more on damage/health. I have around 600 health now.

I just can't get into it solo and usually that is what I prefer. I don't tend to have a lot of luck though when it comes to drops so I find I am usually having to even just buy ammo I can use while I am 100% full on everything else. I am lucky if I even find a green weapon and usually when I do it is worse than the white one I have equipped.

One thing I was a little disappointed in the game is how the mobs respawn and also how they take damage. If I see one of those skags or whatever they call them there are always 5 more that run from each tunnel. Now I just stand and one shot them as they appear.

Also I was hoping that the humanoid mobs at least would be more sensitive to where they were hit. In my experience I could shoot them in the legs several times and they just keep running at you.

At the price I don't regret the purchase, but I don't know how much I will truly play it. I may wait and see what they release patch wise before I fire it up again.
