You bought a genuine Apple? I bet that cost a pretty penny considering what it is.
I'm curious why you didn't just emulate it?

I actually got it at a really good price.
The person I got it from was the original owner and was moving.

The first job I got out of college was writing assembler on an Apple IIe, so when I ran across the unit on ebay I got nostalgic and thought what the heck I'll bids on it, I probably won't win but what the hey. No one else bid on it and I got it for a song. It's in really good shape and it's a lot of fun to play with.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Windfall! Heck, you could flip the thing for an emulator when you get bored of it, and make a little walking around money.

I've been thinking about selling it and a few other things I have, probably ebay?

Sure, why not? Just look at the going rate for them.

Most appear to be several hundred including additional hardware.
The IIe itself was just a box that included keyboard. One needs disk drives and monitor to do anything.
And the OS. On a 5.25" floppy that still works as a floppy.
I think there was a plug in card that allowed one to use a 3.5. But still would need the OS on that.
I see one listed at $2600 now, but that includes monitor, drives, books and floppies. And if I am reading it correctly there are no offers.
The one I bought (way back then) was $2200. Additions that brought the price up included a modem (1200 I believe) and 128k of memory. I must have bought a monitor too but I don't remember that. I think it also required a video card.

He said "Apple IIe".
The "II" and "e" are both relevant. The price for a "IIe" now is substantially less than what it originally cost.

I mean true they're less now, but all computers are. They cost a fortune for what they were back even in the late 80s.
When I say they cost a lot, I'm talking in todays terms relative to what a modern computer would cost.
My point is you could pick yourself up a half decent laptop for what it would cost to get a little 8 bit monster with a monochrome screen that's about as portable as a bag of bowling balls.

I figured you were referring to something else.
An original Apple, thus before IIe, now could be worth somewhere around $250,000 depending on various factors.
I figured that is what you might have been referring to.

No I was just thinking of like the Apple ][s and stuff.

Ha! I remember the SWEET16 instruction set.
Wow, this brings back memories. I cut my teeth programming 65(c)02s and 65c816 chips in Apple computers in 1986.

6500 series of CPU's had an excellent instruction set compared to the clunky Intel.

They were a little buggy though. I know because when I emulated the 6502 I had to emulate the bugs because some software relied on them being there.

Historical note:
In the 1980s, CERN bought mini/supermini computers from two vendors that experienced the same thing: The VAX-780 had a bug (I never knew the detail of that bug) that DEC proudly announced that would be fixed in the upcoming VAX-750. To which CERN replied that in that case, the 750 would never be on their shopping list: They had developed their software working around that bug, and they were not going to maintain one software version with the workaround, and another without. So the bug was not fixed.
Not long thereafter, Norsk Data made a similar announcement for the ND-100, the successor of Nord-10, which had a well known bug in the MOD calculation when both arguments were negative. They received a similar message from CERN: If the ND-100 was not 100% software compatible with the Nord-10, CERN wouldn't buy it. So Norsk Data changed the bug to a feature, i.e. they documented the old behavior, and stuck to it for the ND-100.

i recently learned of boost::safe_numerics . my worries of C++ int arithmetic overflow are over .
[edit] but not really .
[edit] i rolled my own i consider superior assuming no bugs as it is rather crude/clumsy/complex and have no idea how to test . can provide source to those interested .

Cyberpunk and BG3 all crash on repeat for me now, shortly after starting.
Even Overwatch seems to crash (though less often).
I don't see other people complaining and I suspect something with my system....
But.. I ran Memory Diagnostic: nothing found. DxDiag: not sure how to read it, but seems fine.
Looking at Event Viewer, the error info is unhelpful.
The only thing I know that is kind of strange with my system, and makes me slightly nervous, is if I use the power button to stop it, I can't start it for like 5 minutes.. if I try it glow briefly, start the fan and then stops. Looks like static electricity issue.. but no idea what to do about it or whether it is releated. I have this problem from day 1 (in April) but the game crashed only started this weekend... :/
I recently updated the NVidia driver, currently with latest 537.42, no one else seems to report that... :/

Hey,
Go setup a user-mode dump. Then start your application, let it crash and we can read the dump in WinDbg to try and determine the cause.
Edit: Use 0x00000121 as the CustomDumpFlag

|
|
Great idea, on it!
|
|
|
|
|
Use 0x00000121 and don't do a full dump. Mini is fine.

Dumps are fine when it's a software issue, but for hardware oddities they generally don't tell you much.
Do you have an oscilloscope or multimeter? I'd start by looking at the simple stuff like PSU voltages. If it's all fine until you start a graphics intensive game, it's quite possible that the PSU can't keep up with the load and voltages are dropping out.
What GPU card are you running, how many watts is it rated at, and what's the PSU rated at? I like to run with at least a 25% margin on the PSU - so if my processor, drives, and GPU are rated to need max 400W, I'll get a 500 or 550 watt PSU.

The 4080 is a power hungry card, but the recommended specs are for a 750w PSU and you have 1Kw so you should be fine, even with a top end processor and several big HDDs.
But if the problem is getting worse it's unlikely to be software. Does anything else that uses significant GPU die, or do they work? If nothing else that tests your card fails, at least you can pretty much eliminate that ... which would be nice, given the cost of those things!
Have you tried something like this: Open Hardware Monitor - Core temp, fan speed and voltages in a free software gadget[^] - it can monitor voltages, temperatures, etc while your game is running which might help to eliminate problems.

Only used NVIDIA performance overlay.
I dunno waht to look for, but as far as I can tell, temperature and memory usage are fine...
Gotta look at that thing you suggested!
