In my last update I alluded to hardware failure on my new NEUTRON system. Today I found out the true cause of the failure. My cheap $50 case has an LED light that illuminates the front. The wire had become loose and occasionally grounded out, causing the power supply to short. After disconnecting the LED I've successfully played over an hour of intense 3D gaming with no hardware lockups at all. 64-bit Windows, however, still sucks donkeys in my opinion, due entirely to the lack of vendor driver support and no visible advantage other than geek points. I expect I'll be reloading a 32-bit OS in the near future.
