Opinions of the Dell Inspiron 9300 series?

Hello all. I am also on the verge of buying the 9300 (first time I've ever bought a laptop). By configuring with the high end options, it appears I can have nearly the same features as an XPS (6800 Go versus 6800ultra in XPS is only difference), but for about $500 less. I would like 2Gb...

Problem with BFG 6800 Ultra!

Got my BFG 6800 Ultra OC PCI-e. The card has problems from the start. Serious graphics corruption in all games and 3D benches, even before the card got warm. Went through all the obvious steps with driver cleaning, trying different (older and beta) drivers, reinstalling Direct, etc., with no...

Best 3500+ Heatsink

Just installed a Thermalright xp-120 on my Asus A8N SLI Deluxe mobo. The first Dimm is partially blocked by the HS. It can be used, but the memory has to be installed in this module before installing the HS (which means removing the HS if switching memory.... I am folowing up with...

3 Burned Processors - any ideas???

Update: I replaced the cpu (4th one . . .) and installed it with the new heatsink. As I mentioned, this one did not use clip tension to tighten, but instead an adjusting knob on top. The PC has now run fine for several days, and has been delivered to the happy end-user. My guess is that I...

3 Burned Processors - any ideas???

Thanks for all of the feedback. Although nothing seems particularly obvious at this point, it seems the most likely explanation is that, despite my best efforts and the fact that I've never had this happen before, I've managed to damage all 3 cpus during installation. I've ordered a fourth cpu...

3 Burned Processors - any ideas???

Thanks for the feedback. Some more info in response to the issues raised above: 1. I concluded the cpus are burnt out because a) power up spins the fans and gives no POST, b) a cpu from a different machine does boot c) the burnt cpus won?t POST in a different, working machine. 2. I did boot...

3 Burned Processors - any ideas???

I'm stumped. I'm putting together a new system for a friend and have now burned out THREE Athlon 1600+ (1400Mhz) cpus. All three times the system ran OK for between 20 seconds and 2 hours, then went black. I know it?s the cpu because the fans spin at power up but no post and a cpu from...
