Brand new build crashing! BSOD - error codes

Great advice... I seem to have come to a solution, although its not a great one. A member at the gigabyte forums suggested downlocking the RAM just to test and see. Its also true that AMD actually recommends 1333mhz with AM3 instead of 1600mhz. Apparently 1600 can be done but may cause...

Brand new build crashing! BSOD - error codes

Ive received some email tech support but it was pretty generic. They suggested memtest and using ram 1 sick at a time. The phone suport i horrendous I hear. I haven no tried it yet sine its the weeked. I suspect I'll have to fix this myself.

Brand new build crashing! BSOD - error codes

I tried a CyberPower PC because the prices were competitive and I didnt have the time to piece out a box and build it like i normally do. Experience was great, shipped quick and in good condition but its been BSOD on me. BIOS and chipset drivers all updated Memtest passes with no errors The...

Vista 64 wont install? JMicron IDE issues? P5Q Pro

Nothing has run on this hardware. Its all new. The 32bit Vista is running on it now because 64 wouldnt install. I doubt its stability related to memory since the 64bit disc wont even install. It just hangs at the same point once you boot from the DVD into the setup screen. It seems more like...

New P5Q build, Cannot Install OS

It seems more like some odd issue with my older IDE dvdrw and the 64bit OS. The 32bit vista installs fine. I would assume both have the same native IDE drivers for the Jmicron IDE controller. Why the 64bit hangs on install is beyond me. It is recognized and I can boot from it to the DVD, after...

New P5Q build, Cannot Install OS

I have this EXACT same issue. The 32-bit copy installs fine. The 64-bit hangs just before it begins the install process. I tried everything I can think of. Ive used two 64bit images, one was SP1. I also have an older IDE NEC 2510a dvdrw. Everything else is SATA. I suspect its the IDE dvdrw...

Vista 64 wont install? JMicron IDE issues? P5Q Pro

I have a new Asus P5Q pro. I tried to boot from my 64bit Vista disc to install it on a clean drive. The dvdrw is an older IDE - NEC 2510a. With 2 separate vista 64 disc just hang at the very beginning of the install process - before the menu pops up which allows you to click time zone etc. It...

GT200b to launch at Nvision 08 (Aug 25-27)

EVGA Step-up question... I was wondering, does EVGA even consider the GTX+ a NEW base model? I know you cant step up from say a 8800GT to a 8800GT SUPERCLOCKED "SC" model as they are considered the same base model. Does EVGA acknowledge the GTX+ as a whole new line - the successor to GTX or...

9800 GTX+ Is Out

Decisions, Decisions... All of my parts are here now waiting to be assembled except for the GPU. I have been waiting for the 9800GTX+ release. I really want to get this thing built and setup before grad school starts again. After that, I will have a lot less time. I know we will probably see...

The Inq. reporting XFX & EVGA have defected from Nvidia...

I have to admit, Inq is very Nvidia biased as of late. They have also jumped the gun in the past. That said, they have also broke a few juicy stories before anyone else. Its the nature of the beast. It sort of reminds me of the sensational slant of The Drudge report. Its now one of the most...

The Inq. reporting XFX & EVGA have defected from Nvidia...

Intel has got big plans for the integrated GPU/CPU market. The time when GPU makers and CPU makers could peacefully co-exist may be coming to an end. The natural evolution of the hardware is forcing this situation as the paths were bound to cross eventually. For the consumer the competition is...

9800 GT - as if it couldnt get more confusing...

If it was confusing to us, we wouldn't be on Anand's forums right now. Thats not the point. It is the mainstream buyers who may not follow it as closely as we do. After all, its basically a phantom card that hasnt been announced yet. Its being sold in pre-built PC's at Costco in the US and we...

9800 GT - as if it couldnt get more confusing...

Here is another recent article on it... http://techreport.com/discussions.x/15134 Looks like its just a replacement (spec wise) for the 8800GT only using the smaller fab (like the GTX+ over the GTX)... probably cheaper. So much for names meaning anything. That sure makes the mid-range...

EVGA 9800 GTX+

I dont think this is the case actually. This is unwise from a business point of view. This is what I have been getting at with my observations of EVGA's current supplies of regular GTX's. EVGA has let them dry up suddenly and will replace that stock with the GTX+ and its SC, KO clocked versions...
