^wow.
From my personal experience, Sony fanboys take the cake and the candles.
look on youtube on how many Sony fanboys make video's on why the 360/wii suck and there is more thumbs up then thumbs down. Though I noticed if a 360 fan(or fanboy)makes a video on the ps3 sucking, there usually seems to be more thumbs down than thumbs up.
Also if I had a dime for every time I heard sony fanboys ***** and moan about COD timed exclusive dlc's...though when the ps3 with multiplat games get exclusive ONLY to their system, they love to go on about "that's why ps3 is better" or "get a ps3".

Good news everybody! My situation has been vastly improved upon carefully updating drivers again. I just played Tomb Raider for 3 hours with no crash and I can play Fallout NV for a few hours without a crash too (though it does crash still). So yay me! XD
Just buy a console.
Headaches solved.

I've found PCs just can't take prolonged gaming (unless it's liquid cooled), and heats up too easily.Just buy a console.

Don't game on laptops and mid-sized towers. Pretty basic solution.
My rig has been working overtime for four years, never had one blue screen of death. Any game crashes were usually minor issues caused unexpectedly by mods or updates and easily fixed. In fact, I have yet to CTD on New Vegas or Skyrim, but I admit that I mod a hell of a lot less than most folks and that may be way it's so stable.
If your rig is overheating, it's not a sign of PC inferiority; it's a sign of bad ventilation, not enough fans, bad cabling, or all of the above.
Yeah, but it was working fine until thursday. I don't understand why it would play fine for several days then start bluescreening again if it was a hardware issue instead of a software one. The only thing that changed was me installing new software.
Edit: I'm checking out the crashes with WhoCrashed and heres what its saying:

According to some forums,its a bad video driver and/or your GPU is on the fritz.
Just google the error message and there is multiple ways of trying to fix the issue.
One of the reasons why I went over to Nvidia was because of driver issues.

They're just proving a point PC users are annoying and since this is a thread about which has the most obnoxious of fans, I believe we're still on topic. However I disagree with them and believe fighting game companies have the worst fans. They provoke everybody to the point I won't be surprised if they're the reason wars happen.
