Big bang theory

hi. after playing games on my imac, ive noticed a repeating habbit. i am currious if anyone else thinks their imac is alive. mine is a sore looser.
ive noticed that while playing 'big bang chess' that came with my imac, it runs fine if i am loosing. it runs fine if i am cheating (using 'undo') however, the few times i have been winning and i could see my victory, the program 'unexpectedly' has to shut down.
but ill tell you what, the last two times this has happened, i was expecting it. so, i am smarter than my imac. shouldnt it pay to have me?
is there a patch to download that will fix this? it would feel so good to win fair and square for once. has anyone else experienced this?
also, while im here, i made some comments about 'garage band' before. i still find it is weak, but i didnt expect much. tho with a bit of tweaking it can work good for getting rough ideas out. so there. but i still want to win at chess, if you can imagine, it is very frustrating. it has also happened every single time i am sure i am going to win! and not once any other time.

Hello gratecheese
Yes Mac do have a mind of there own!
I also think there maybe a little bit of poor sportsmanship written into the B.B. games. In Backgammon when you get way ahead, the computer starts rolling doubles while you get one's and two's.
You might try quitting some other App's not in use to free up some memory for the game. The problem may be your ram is being used for other App's and when you push the game to play longer and make harder decisions it could be freezing up.
I have only spent a little time with Garage Band, made a couple of short tracks that turned out OK. Problem is it's very time consuming to learn at first.

  • Why is no season pass available for Big Bang Theory Season 6 in the Australian iTunes Store?

    Season 6 of The Big Bang Theory is now showing in the Australian iTunes Store. So far only one episode is available.
    Where the "Buy Season Pass" button usually is, it instead says, "Partial Season". I can't see any option to buy a season pass.
    Why is this? What does "partial season" mean? If I buy the one episode available, will I later get the option to "Complete" my season? Will the full season eventually be available?
    Thanks anyone for any light you can shed on this.         

    You would have to ask whomever holds the U.K. distribution rights to the show.

  • Unable to download, or even locate, the latest episode of Big Bang Theory

    Even though I received an email stating the latest episode of the BBT was ready to download, I haven't been able to get the episode for two days now. When I go to the iTune store, and look at the BBT episodes available from season 7, many aren't even listed anymore. Has anyone been able to download the latest episode of the Big Bang Theory?

    Hello Tcsan,
    The episodes in question should begin to download automatically the day after they air, so they may already be in iTunes. If not, and you are, indeed, unable to obtain the episodes purchased, I would recommend reporting the issue to the folks in our iTunes Store.

  • Big Bang Theory Season 1, Episode 4 - missing 10 minutes. Can I request a fix for this somewhere?

    Can clearly see here that episode 4 is not the right length - http://itunes.apple.com/gb/tv-season/the-big-bang-theory-season-1/id264055603. Can this be fixed, or is there a better place to bring this to Apples attention?

    I've tried contacting them too. First response was "We're looking into it, the episode will be available soon". When I tried to probe further (when exactly? Will it be downloaded with my existing Season Pass? Will I have to pay for it individually? etc) I got absolutely zero feedback.
    Rather disappointed with the overall service and considering this sort of thing has happened with another TV series I purchased (been waiting several months for the remaining episodes, which have long since aired on most TV networks), I won't be recommending the Season Pass option to friends and family anytime soon.
    Last I heard the episode was up on the Store last year sometime, but was missing several minutes of content so I presume it was taken down for that reason.
    In response to akanksha.gupta, watching it on a website is all well and good, but some of us have paid for a Season Pass and we expect to get what we paid for. That said, I'll be watching it online in future as Apple are obviously eager to accept our money but fail to deliver the goods.

  • UK Big bang theory season 5: full season available on iPad, not in iTunes?

    I am trying to understand why if I visit  iTunes store UK on my mac, only 15 of the 24  episodes are available. However I visit the iTunes store on my iPad ( still UK store, and my iPad syncs with the mac mentioned ) and all 24 episodes are available for download ?
    Why is available content different on the two devices that both use the same tunes store

    My brother downloaded "Big Bang Theory", in french, without me knowing.  Is there anyway to change to english version?

    Okay, I found the answer myself. Going to about:config and setting browser.showQuitWarning to true, restored that option and brought it back. Thanks to anyone who is about to post. If this is false by default, it has got to change.

  • MSI Big Bang-XPower II More MB RAM than the CPU can handle...

     I understand reading in a few forum post :" By making more memory available to the system more data can be cached in RAM, so there will be less hard drive activity, and less swapping to memory so your system will perform better." But what happen when motherboard for a desktop that supports( and had install) more RAM than the processor can handle?(aka:processor Max Memory Size).
    Please comment in this configuration.as I 'm looking for a MB than offer me the more SATA6 connection i found a few available using LGA2011 socket (MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS) than support 128GB. As I understand the processor Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor only work with 64GB.
     Is there any advantage to have a MB that hold a bigger RAM capacity than the CPU? If so, how can this be translate using in a program like Adobe After Effects, RAM preview? thank

    More Memory doe's not make it faster as its Volatile Memory (more RAM but it has to be run at much slower speeds) that is very short term and is just a buffer for active Programs and files it Caches there while its active but in no way improves system speed (as it has to be clocked slower to allow the IMC on the CPU to cope with it)! more memory just allows more Active Large programs and files open at the same time and huge amount of ram will only really be of benefit for things like Video Editing, photo editing and 3D rendering as those take alot of ram to allow all the computations that the CPU does to be held for quick access but only when they are active!
    having more RAM then your CPU can Handel is a VERY BAD IDEA as it will just refuse to even post or in very rare cases damage the CPU's IMC leading to a dead CPU!
    why MSI have done that is for possible later 2011 CPU's that may allow the 128GB of RAM limit to be used but currently they do not exist currently as X79 is a more professional grade Platform that will probably be around for years to come (may be used for many upgrade cycles and may eventually have a cpu that can use 128GB or ram) and who knows what will happen with Intel CPU's in that time frame! (more of a possible forward compatibility thing as its a very high end platform)
    as for after effects it uses RAM for  holding Render Files so in theory more ram will just allow it to render Larger files that are more complex without hitting the Available Ram ceiling that your computer has but it will not render any faster as a result it just gives it more headroom to work in!
    so overall more ram = more Active space available & no increase in speed (actually maybe a drop in speed as it needs to run slower causing LAG/Latency) so it all depends what is important to you here to whether more ram is of any benefit or just a hindrance but that is down to your own use case scenario!

  • MSI BIG BANG Xpower II boot issue - LED code 9A

    Hello all,
    I am facing to issue after BIOS update from 2.6 to 2.7. After update was machine working properly. But after one crash of OS cant boot at all. Crash was probably caused by overloading GPUs but there were no issue with cards and this board during 3 weeks of 100% GPU and CPU load. No video (connected only one GPU card), no Numlock key/led is working (this is good test if PC is reacting even no picture).
    Board: MSI BIG BANG XPOWER II
    Bios: Version 2.7
    VGA:  4x AMD SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290x
    PSU:   Silverstone 1500W (gold)
    CPU:   Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 2011
    MEM: 1x Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10 HyperX blu Edition
    HDD: WD Blue 256gb 5400
    COOLER: NOCTUA NH-D14
    OC: 3.9GHz
    OS: Windows 8.1 64bit Professional
    Tried
    - switch BIOS from A to B also C (with small switch).
    - cleared Cmos with onboard button.
    - removed Battery for a while
    System start booting and stuck always on 9a LED code.
    From manual it looks like it is USB, SATA initialisation phase.
    I think CPU or Mem should be fine.
    Anyone who met this issue or any sollution?
    I am thinking to replace this board under warranty.
    Thanks for any info..

    Hi Froggy,
    Thanks for reply.
    But I have tried disconnected all USB devices and got same LED code. If this happend because of some USB configuration in BIOS why reset of CMOS did not help?
    It very well could be setting(s) in the BIOS, but I am not qualified to be of much assistance when Win 8/8.1 is involved.

  • MSI Big Bang Marshal - Questions

    Hello all
    I am new here and I have been doing research on components for a new computer I am making a shopping list for. I have a few questions I have not been able to find any information online. Here goes
    1. Anything specific I should know about the motherboard other then whats in the specs? Problems, quirks, etc?
    2. Does the motherboard only support 2x Dual Video cards like 2x Nvidia GTX 590 or can I use 4x Nvidia GTX 480s?
    3. P67 motherboards with the nf200 on them support 24 pci-e lanes. if I use:
    PCI_E1 - 8x
    PCI_E3 - 8x
    PCI_E5 - 8x
    PCI_E7 - 8x
    Makes up 24
    But there are still:
    PCI_E2 - 1x
    PCI_E4 - 1x
    PCI_E6 - 1x
    PCI_E8 - 1x
    Left. Does that mean there are no lanes left and I coudnt even fill anything in the other 4 slots like PCI-E Sound, etc?
    4. If you do Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI and have a PhysX card, how many PCI-E lanes will your PhysX card consume? Is it set by the NVIDIA control panel, the number of lanes of the chipset divided by the mount of video cards or by the card itself?
    5. When people say Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI +PhysX, does it mean (Dual -1(PhysX), Tri -1(PhysX), Quad -1(PhysX) or does it mean (Dual +1, Tri +1, Quad +1)?
    6. I know Scalability of increasing arrays of video cards is pretty poor, but could I do Quad SLI +PhysX using the MSI Big Bang Marshal?
    7. Which is most advantageous, Tri SLI +PhysX, Quad SLI, Quad SLI +PhysX?
    8. Sorry, probably not related, but I wanted to do Raid with SSD's for very fast reads and writes yet have redundancy. I wanted to get some OCZ Vertex 3s and I was reading about how Raid 5 was interesting but apparently Raid 5 increases the degredation of SSD? Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on best raid configurations?
    Thank you for all of your help

    By my count, that makes 32 lanes. If not done so, a lot of pre preparation information can be gathered at the MSI Global Website. All the basic & more detailed information can be found there. The downloadable pdf manual is usually much more comprehensive than the manual that comes with the board as well, & can probably answer a lot of your questions. I don't believe the board can do Quad GTX 480 SLI.

  • MSI Big Bang xPower II PCI-e 3.0 Problem

    Hey Guys
    I´ve got a big problem with my Big Bang Xpower II Mainboard. Although i´ve got at PCI-e compatible (Gigabybte GTX760 OC) which is placed in PCI-e Slot 1 and PCI-e Gen 3 activated my Board doesn´t activate PCI-e 3. I´ve already tried to install the UEFI on several ways but nothing helped.
    My specs:
    Mainboard: MSI Big Bang xPower II
    CPU: Intel I7 4820k
    VGA: Gigabyte GTX760 OC

    sry if there are Mistakes my english is not so good because im from Germany and and im still a student
    thanks for your help

    Aha, but how windows changes will affect BIOS PCI-e version reading?
    etc: this one which you said:
    Quote
    You can see the PCI-e Version activated before the Xpower BIOS Screen shows off (the where it show all data about the ASMedai chip ...
    or this still shows 2.0 during bios post screen?
