Ultra V Series 500W Power Supply Free AR

I received this PS today, and popped it into my machine with a 3000+, 6600 GT, 2 hard drives, among other things. It's certainly not great, as voltage does fluctuate slightly (about .05 V) when I played Guild Wars to test it out, but for free, it does the job. I also used a paper clip to...

Monarch has dropped prices on 939 and AM2 cpus, nice prices

i thinking of going with a 939 X2, but I'm not sure which models come with the heatpipe heatsinks. Isn't it anything higher than a X2 3800+?

LASTDAY PROMOTION - 550 Watts Gaming PSU $10 instant Rebate - $52

Here's another review. Link. A digital multimeter was used here. The results are pretty impressive, and the reviewer says that it's on par with a Seasonic S-12 500W.

Looking for quiet power supplies

What about an Aerocool Zerodba PSU? I heard that those are very quiet as well. And they only run about $120 for a 620W version.

Cheap Sunbeam "tower heatpipe" HSF for A64 $20

Did anybody look at the base of that thing on Xoxide's site? It doesn't look to good to me, but will the $20 be worth it? My stock 3000+ cooler is not doing to well.

PC freezes after Office 2003 install

OK, I think I figured out why this is happening. Apparently when I installed Office all these times, I chose a complete installation, which installs things like speech and handwriting recognition. These features seem to slow the PC down at times. I did a system restore and a reinstall, but this...

PC freezes after Office 2003 install

I tried looking for things in startup earlier, and Office isn't even there. Also, my system isn't infected with anything. I'll see if uninstalling fixes it. If I remember correctly Office 2000 worked just fine. Thanks for the response. EDIT: I just uninstalled it and the PC instantly stopped...

PC freezes after Office 2003 install

Hi, my system seems to have an issue with Office 2003. After installing it, there's always a lag time after I click on the Start button after closing any windows or programs, like Firefox or windows explorer. Before the installation the system ran fine. I installed Office with all applications...

EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

I don't think that an Audigy 4 is necessary, especially if you're not going to use 5.1 speakers. An Audigy 2 ZS would be good enough IMO. Also, the case might have problems with cable routing, and I heard the P180 is not friendly with beginners. Since the 9NPA+Ultra's 24-pin power connector is...

EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

Try using one of your other hard drives, and install windows on there. Then open up my computers and reformat the 80 gb drives while you're inside of windows. If you install windows on you 250 gb or 300 gb drives and still have the same problem, then I don't know anything else I can suggest...

EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

I had a problem like that before. After a hard crash, the hard drives literally seemed to be broken; every install of windows would get disk errors, and a disk check found thousands of corrupted and orphaned files. Booting into windows also caused crashes. What I did was install windows on a...

EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

In the past 2 days, my PC with this board is not shutting down right. The screen would go blank, the power and hard drive LEDs go off, and the red LED display on the board would show "F5". All of the fans keep on running, including case, CPU, PSU, and GPU. My fan controller also stays on. When...

Make sure that the CnQ driver is installed, and your power scheme in power options is set to minimal power management. Is the stock amd hsf not a thermally controlled fan?
