It shouldnt, unless of course you are using it continually for hours on end. Plasma screens are not really conducive for gaming or watching because of the image retention, hence the poularity of LCD's and LED's

I've never ever had any problems with Steam. Now all of a sudden me and a friend of mine began experiencing issues with Steam, at the exact same time. The same problems.

The issues are this, first, you run Steam and it suddenly checks for an update, but does it for like 10 minutes with the progress bar not going anywhere. Then it comes up with an error saying it can't connect and you should check your internet connection. So I played Sid Meier's Pirates for awhile and recently checked to see if it would connect. It did, and the exact same time my friend could finally connect. (Coincidence, I think not.)

Now however, when Steam is actually running, it will "freeze" every now and then. You can't click into anything on steam for about 30 seconds to a minute, then it will work fine again. What I would like to know is, is anyone else experiencing this problem? I have never had issues, now all of a sudden bam, and my friend who just got Steam, got the issues the exact same time as me. Thanks for any help we could get on this matter.

I am said friend and I am deeply disapointed with Steam's services so far. I downloaded the client and installed and then when i try to launch it it freezes and tells me after a while that i should check my internet connection which is a complete load of hogwash. I finally managed to get it to work and then seemingly at random, Steam decides to freeze up and I am forced to close it and then re-open. To conclude, Valve must really get their act together, because, if this is the service I am refusing, then, I dont want to be part of it!

In terms of personal preference, I recommend Oblivion. I have played both and Oblivion intrigued way more than Morrowind ever did. Graphics aside, Oblivion's sheer scope and available quests made it that much more entertaining and rewarding, but, to each his own I suppose. In terms of the mods, I have not personally meddled with Morrowind, but, I have experimented with Oblivion and it did not give me a moments troubles. It is worth investing in the Mod Manager though :)

I heard about this today!! It's friggin' awesome man! I'm busy downloading it at the moment. Cant wait to play it!!!

I personally turn my PC off every night, unless I am downloading something. I try not to waste electricity and like to prolong my hardware component's lifespan
