    Password Retry Delay


    I'm experiencing a long 3-5 minute delay when I type the wrong password logging into my Windows account on my laptop. This just started happening in the last 2 weeks. I get in a hurry when I sit down, and I type my work password instead of my home password. The screen shows looping circles like it is trying to log in for 3-5 minutes before it comes back and let's me re-enter my password. In the past, I instantly got a message that my password was wrong and I just tried again. Very frustrating having to wait so long.

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

    Password Retry Delay

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???
