Tried to boot into Safe Mode and it again froze and restarted. Went back into BIOS to reset everything to stock and now it won't POST. So, tonight, I will reset the CMOS and BIOS and just run at stock until I get Vista. I will reinstall Windows at that time and hope the overclocking works...
A month ago, I built a new system (Asus P5B Deluxe, C2D e6600, 2 GB Crucial DDR2-5300 10th Anniversary memsticks). I assembled it and turned it on, and everything worked great. Three weeks of reading things on overclocking give me enough courage to go ahead and overclock my system. I get great...
I had the same problem last night. Three of the screws tightened fine. The fourth one blew its top. My fix was to just not use the spring. Of course this is not the best solution and the heat sink slides if I do so manually. My question, will this ad hoc solution work if I put the tower in its...
I compared the MSI to the Asus and I was turned off by its reviews. It has a very good board layout, offers good features, and love the rounded PATA/FDD cables, but it was not enough for me to switch.
Which Video Card do you suggest? I am going to be switching to a DX 10 card after 12 months...
pkme2, thanks for your PMs which had a lot of good info and was a great starting point. Of course, the AT threads were a lot of help among other forums.
I am leaning towards the P5B Deluxe as there are too many people having too many problems with the P5W-DH Deluxe. No need to go for the more expensive P5W64 WS.
Which of Asus MoBos (P5B Deluxe, P5W-DH Deluxe, or the P5W64 WS) will work with the following setup:
C2D 6600 (will be overclocking to 3.2 or 3.6)
Crucial 2GB DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) 3-3-3-12
I will have only 1 video card (Radeon X1950PRO) and no plans to go multi-GPU via CrossFire or SLI. I...
Thanks for the response but things just changed as something incredible happened and I can now go for a more expensive case... The Stacker is looking good right now.
SViking - not enough cooling.
Mystique 631/632 - They are good but expensive.
Chakras - don't like the design and the noise it will make is a concern.
Rosewill R6A Series / Lian Li PC-7B - don't like the look at all.
P160W B-stock - really good except it only has two fans and so, does not...
For the CD/DVD-R/W, I would recommend the Samsung one: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16827151136
It is also similar in price but a little faster and has had very good reviews at cdrfreaks.com. I am personally buying it in the system I am building. I have the same RAM as...
Been reading through a lot of the posts here and reviews elsewhere. I had been sold on the Antec P180 until I found out that the maximum height could not be more than 19.7". I am looking for a case under $120 that has these features, in order of priority:
1a. Cooling - The ambient room temp...
I am building a new computer so ignore the ATI 8500 (it was to point out that I have been disappointed by ATI). Regardless, it looks like I will be going with the Sapphire X1950PRO.
Thanks everybody!
Why X1900 over the X1950PRO? I found both at $199 at Newegg:
Sapphire X1900: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814102022
Sapphire X1950: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814102061
Also, why not the two 7600s or the single 7900?
