bigger problem

hey guys, I have an i7-920 on a Intel DX58SO mobo with a XFX 4890 and a 700W OCZ ModXStream power supply. I was playing Mirror's Edge when suddenly I got purple and blue vertical bars, the computer shut down, turned itself back on, and 3 of the warning lights on the 4890 lit up while the fan...

taking apart a gtx 280. tiny chip broke off

A transistor amplifies or switches electronic signals. It's what your processor and graphics card die mostly consist of as well, just waaaaayyyy smaller even. In short: very important. It's the basis of modern electronics.

Slow USB?

It's a USB stick formatted in FAT16 I believe, but it's much faster on the Mac than the i-7 rig. It is connected through one of the motherboard ports, yes.

Slow USB?

hmmmm... interesting. I figured they'd at least be in the same ballpark. Well... the desktop is an i7-920... so that's faster in that aspect...

Slow USB?

Hey guys, I have a DX58SO mobo in my desktop, and it seems like the USB transfer rates are much slower than with my Macbook Pro. Any idea what could cause this? I installed all the drivers included with the mobo, and the USB works, it's just not nearly as fast as it should be. I'll...

I got an MSI nVidia 5700 or something like that lying around... dunno if that's something you'd be looking for. Let me know if it is.

Break in period before overclocking?

Certain mechanical devices, like speakers, have a break-in period, or some older tech like vacuum tubes. Never heard of chips needing a break-in period though...
