Ok, so I finally nuked my drives and installed Windows 7.

Bad

• Random reboots are still happening.
• To add more frustration to the reboot issue, Windows 7 has this wonderful "Windows System Repair" feature that pops up when you crash and reload. The default is to attempt a repair (with another option to start Windows normally). The 'repair' option gives you the option to cancel but gives you the message "You cannot cancel this operation". Seems pretty f'd up

My random reboots are back (and getting frequent). This is extremely frustrating.

System Specs

At this point, I'm convinced its either the motherboard (ASUS has a new BIOS coming out today) or my RAM. I'm hoping the BIOS update fixes things since it purportedly adds more memory support.

On a related note, I picked up another hard drive yesterday, bringing me up to 3 physical drives.

My current plan is to backup my system one last time,...

Team Rabid!

• RabidBear (leader)
• RabidCheetah
• RabidGrizzly
• RabidHawk
• RabidRaven

Details

• Everyone is a Tauren druid (moo).
• No idea what specs to go with, so I'll have to read up or listen to suggestions from the fans.

• Currently, everyone is sitting at level 4.
• Played for an hour this morning, but spent 90% of that time configuring all the UIs and fighting with

• Short post today.
• Ok, so the paladins are now 60 (main) and 59 (slaves) - basically gained a level last night doing some questing around Plaguelands.
• Once I hit 60, I'll be creating a new team. No name(s) yet. I find this the hardest part of creating new characters. Being prepare with a bunch of names helps.
• New team will be 5 x druids (woo hoo! cows!).
• I'm going to try something new this time. Instead of doing instances, I will be doing 100% questing, with a goal of getting

Team Sandwich

• Good news: SandwichA ding'd 60 this morning!
• Not-so-good news: The rest of the team is still 58.
• Did a lot of questing this weekend.
• Felwood + Winterspring = lots of quests (and with many giving around 25k xp, leveling was f-a-s-t).
• I'll finish these guys off to 60 (to maximize the grant-a-level reward) then switch to another team.

Next Steps

• Now that the paladin team is (almost) 60, it's time to start a new team (since RAF is still going strong).
• Looking for suggestions,
