“Goodbye World of Warcraft, Hello Star Wars: The Old Republic”

I have been playing “SWTOR” for three and a half days and can honestly say I’m enjoying it a lot more than I was enjoying World of Warcraft…

I am already addicted to this MMORPG (or MMO for short) and am now planning on making a Fan Site dedicated to my characters (http://sw.brbbio.com unless I choose a top level domain in the meantime)

I’m so enticed with the graphics and story lines that I can’t ever see myself going back to World of Warcraft (Sorry friends & Colleagues).

SIDE NOTE:
I only really have one problem with SWTOR, which is that the interface I fixed in place and can not be moved or resised, HOWEVER… They already plan to fix this and give us full control of the interface and panels in the upcoming 1.2 patch

SOLVED – NVIDIA Nvstor32 “Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued”

OK So I have the following motherboard:

XFX NFORCE 650I ULTRA INTELSOCKET775DDR2
Product Code: MB-N650-IUL9
Running Windows 7 x64

It’s been freezing and then refusing to boot properly for a couple of days, it appeared to be an overheating issue as turning all my internal fans up to full power allowed me to boot but then it would freeze up within an hour

In the Windows Event Viewer the following error was shown:

Nvstor32 “Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued”

After nearly pulling my hair out for a couple of hours and finding my system froze up every time I tried to boot from CD (in order to Flash my BIOS), then it suddenly clicked….

My CD Drive was attached to a SATA Port….

I unplugged my CD Drive from the motherboard and Voilà my system booted up fine

It’s been running for 24 Hours with no problem what so ever and it looks like my CD drive is stuffed so I’ll just buy a new one, for some reason on NVIDIA motherboards when a CD drive malfunctions it’s detected as a RAID device, it’s also possible that if a hard disk fails the same thing could happen.

Hopefully this article will help people solve their issues quickly
