I have owned and operated a computer repair shop for almost a decade and your problem seems unusual if not infection related. I would have to say that browsers are now able to utilize the gpu and being an HP Pavilion which are known for there gpu failure rate, that your computer maybe shutting down from a hardware problem. If you can perform other 3d related tasks or anything that will use your gpu then it is something else. Just from experience though never say never as I scan computers with 7 different security engines ( one might pickup something the others don't ) including webroot and all might seem clean until I do a scan of the system ram with malwarebytes pro. Either way you need to check your systems event logs and use the error codes to see what the issue is.
How is it that I see these very simple, below avg., hour builds are getting tons of views, downloads, diamonds, but my complex builds, some in which took me months are not getting close to that?
That is not just forums it is life. If negativity ends your joy then that should be the issue at hand, and a contradiction to the end of your post,"but it isn't going to hurt me. Just a waist of your time". To take negative comments as a positive means of understanding is something people go through life without learning.
Good for what? As far as a comparison to whats on the market it is low end. As far as a computer that may support your needs and was affordable then only you can answer that.
I am sorry to tell you but with intel graphics you will not be able to record using software and sustain good fps. You are asking your processor to render the game, graphics, and recording all while writing to the same drive you are playing on. I am running the fastest ati mobile card 7970m with 32gb ram with an i7 and fraps cuts my fps in half.
You will need an external recorder or a better computer.
I would load 1 mod at a time to find out if it is one mod or a problem with the loader ect.
If one out of those three loads by itself then its either a incompatible mod of a config issue. This type of problem is a matter of process of elimination.
