Well I'm not sure what's up, but today a RAM module that I RMA'ed for replacement (was rated for DDR2-800, but failed memtest after 10 minutes on DDR2-533) came in, and just for kicks I installed it into the system to see what would happen, and much to my surprise, everything came back to life. I then proceeded to remove the replacement module, and re-insert the old one, and everything still worked. Now I have both of them in, and it's running again. I guess maybe I just accidentally did something to cause the module to become unseated, though I'm kind of skeptical that I would screw things up that badly and not even notice. At any rate, lapped CPU is up and running, none the worse for wear, apparently, so now I can put my settings back in, and then see if it made any difference in temps
Oh, and what is this "reputation" score? Is it like the "karma" system from Fallout? If I shoot a child in the face with my plasma rifle for ruining the shiny finish on my power armor by throwing a rock at it, does my reputation go down for the rest of the game?
