I want Kinect but I'm a little worried that I don't have enough space in my bedroom for it to see me entirely (which is where my 360 is). About how far away do you need to be in order to fit your whole body in the frame? Before you ask, I'm 5'11" 192lbs, athletic build.

Tony Hawk Shred has been out for a few days now and after searching the internet I haven't found any reviews at all. Is anybody at Gamestop working on this right now? I'm interested to know if they have improved anything from Ride or whether it's just another disappointment. Either way, it's a second shot at a very experimental concept, so it shouldn't be ignored.
I'm having troubles with the temperatures in my computer. The only problem is, rivatuner shows three temps besides the GPU and the core. Temp 1 is running at 26C, Temp 2 is running 29C, and then all of a sudden Temp 3 is 105C; what's up with that? All of the fans in my computer are running, the GPU is idle at 42, and the core is only 25C. Why is it that Temp 3 is marked as so high? I don't know of anything else that needs cooling.
Nevermind, i got it, the old thermal was sticking on the inside. Their factory thermal compound must be god awful with the temps i was experiencing.
I'm trying to apply thermal compound directly to my gpu but I can't get the plastic design cover off of the one side in order to access it. How do those covers normally come off? Mine's like stuck or something, and all the screws are out.
So basically I need to figure out how I can determine the difference between a dying CPU Socket and a dying CPU. I have limited money and I've narrowed down my diagnostics to either being a problem with the motherboard cpu socket or the cpu itself. Are there any symptoms that I should be looking for with either situation? My current symptoms are:
-Blue screen memory dump followed by event viewer stating a major hardware failure in processor core.
The problem is, I don't want to buy a whole new processor just to find out that the "processor core" problem was actually coming from the socket itself.
Event ID: 18
Source: WHEA-Logger
Reported by component: Processor Core
"A fatal hardware error has occurred"
I keep getting the blue memory dump screen randomly when I'm playing my games and I have absolutely no idea why. It only happens during gaming and at random intervals. Here's what I've done to attempt to fix it, all resulting in failure:
-I replaced my old graphics card with a new one because the VRAM was bad (which I thought was the problem, but no)
-I purchased a new power supply unit at 600w which is 50w over what my graphics card requires
-I ran Windows' Memory Diagnostic Tool which found no errors in my physical memory sticks.
-My drivers for the nvidiagraphics card are completely updated; so are the drivers for my onboard audio.
-My cpu has a new heat sink with a fresh layer of artic silver
-I increased the voltage on my memory in an attempt to stabilize
-I tried using only one of my two memory sticks in case of a conflict
-There are no yellow exclamation marks in the hardware tab
-I tried downgrading to Windows XP SP3 from Windows 7
-I've attempted to lower graphics settings on my games to keep them from crashing
-Internal temperatures for both the CPU and the GPU are exactly where they should be under load
Nothing of the above has helped at all, and it's really annoying because I can't play any of my games. The only thing that works consistantly is the internet. Anybody have any idea what I an do that might help?
My setup: Windows 7 Home, 2.3ghz duel core athlon, Geforce GTX275 800+mb VRAM, 4 gigs of RAM, 600w Thermaltake PSU.
No it was a Sparkle Computer graphics card. They said they will send me a graphics card of equal or better performance based on availability of an exact replacement.
