  • pc gaming, black screen, crashing, driver failure?

    My computer is pretty decent. an fx-850 8core/4gh, r280x and 10gb ram. here's the issue. I'll be playing a game and it will crash. screen goes black, resolution is refreshed, audio remains. sometimes I get a message "your video driver has crashed and has recovered". firs thing you should know is that some of my games don't do this at all such as darksouls 2. shadow of mordor usually does this over an hour into. Lords of the fallen usually takes half an hour but it just happened within 10 minutes. Here's the tricky part. Alien isolation did it as well but after turning down the graphics it does not do it at all. So I figure this solution could work for other games as well. no luck. Two great examples are the greenlit games "no more room in hell" and "the fifth day". both of these titles are pretty low end in graphics, but they are unplayable due to this problem. the second game never crashes however it just continues to turn black and than it actually recovers only to go black again. So in essence the problem is very complex. I have tried altering settings in AMD catalyst manager with no luck. I than did a complete reinstalled of my system and installed all of the updates available. I also tried other drivers for my card. I thought perhaps the system is overheating but that was not the case at all. Any ideas at all. please,

  • c programing. "left of comma not working"?

    im making this program that should output 10 lines of 8 asterisks, every other line should be indented. my indentation is not working

    {

    int counter = 0;//stars on line

    int stars = 0;//stars in total

    int space = 0;

    while (stars < 81) {//program will stop at 80 stars

    if(space = 0 , counter <= 8){//rows 8 stars long

    printf( "%s" , "* " );//prints a star

    printf( "%s" , " " );//prints a space

    counter = counter + 1 ; stars = stars +1; space = space + 1;}//increments counter and stars for new line and program termination

    else if (space > 0 , counter <= 8){//rows 8 stars long

    printf( " " );//prints a space

    printf( "%s" , "* " );//prints a star

    printf( "%s" , " " );//prints a space

    counter = counter + 1 ; stars = stars +1; space = 0;}//increments counter and stars for new line and program termination

    else if (counter = 8) {printf( "\n" );//new line after 8 stars

  • underwater advanced society?

    Does anybody have any idea as to weather or not it seems possible for an underwater society to develop scientificly. lets say they are intelligent and have appendages that allow them to handle small objects and build. Does the water not present obvious problems for development. no fire, no electricity, no chemistry due to the skewed results of the water. It seems to me that they will never cross the thresh hold from thinker to doer simply because they can not.

  • religion a mandatory development for a civilization?

    When looking back to human history and simply logical conclusion, it becomes evident to me that when people start asking questions about their origins, they come to the conclusion of a creator. i can not blame them for coming to this conclusion due to their very early culture. Can you think of any way a human society would not come to this conclusion as it ascended through time?
