So, I tried to get to my router page but apparently I need a username and password I never made/wrote down. And soon after my computer screen went blue and dumped its physical memory and restarted.

Basically my computer is taking a huge shit on my chest and I have no choice but to reformat. I cant play guildwars for more than 5 minutes without crashing (not that i rly would anyway but...), I cant play civ 4 period, I cant get my fucking wireless working correctly and the damn thing is always giving me the blue screen.

So now a reformatting question, as I have never done it myself. Do I just put in the windows disk and reinstall windows and it installs all hte drivers and such that I need? I know that I will have to reinstall my router stuff, my graphics card and everything Iv ever installed/downloaded but...will I be able to start over from scratch just my putting in the windows disk and following its directions?

Yes.  Just quick format the partition when it asks you.  You will all your motherboard drivers as well (sound, lan etc.).

420:
The most important thing is the internet connection software/drivers (network card, router software, browser). Once you get that running you can just download all the newest drivers for everything else.

PSN eh? Hmm... well that's a splendid idea! If anyone has Xbox360, then, my Gamertag is HeLLMasteRHeLL. Not that you couldn't have figured that out.

Might as well post them both here.

Chard:
Too bad this is a PSN topic though. >=D
