Hmm... heat would be a bit of a problem, his case has one 120mm fan, and that's it. There really was not room for anything else in there.
I'll see if they have a higher efficiency model. I still haven't found much from my preferred brands, so the recertified OCZ is starting to look pretty good if I get nothing.

Not true. I dropped my XP installation from my 680i into an E520 while I was buying new hardware, and it didn't ask for validation at all. It's kind of random as to when it asks.

Interesting... The thing is that I've swapped GPUs idk how many times on this system, and it never did anything about it, but the second the PSU blows, this starts. I hope it's a coincidence, but I do not think so right now.

Test the RAM, run some benchies and check for abnormalities. If something's messed up, you'll know.

I'll test a bit more tomorrow. My brother's asleep atm, so it'd be weird to just walk into his room and take his computer. lol.
Anyway, I did not get any weird errors running UT3 or FoFiX off the IGP, so I'm thinking the system is OK. It's just weird that it starting giving me the errors right when this happened.
