I have never quoted a quote before but this is exactly how I feel. As a UT99 fan the venerable franchise used to repesent everything good in pc gaming. I could afford it at launch and now that its only $10 I still don't know whther its worth it. Check out game monitor and see how many people...
I started getting this strange full screen graphic error when I died in BF2142. Only noticed it in one game since latest drivers so its hard to say whether its a hardware or software issue. I blew out the gpu (8800gts 640) and monitored temps so heat isnt an issue. Checking cables too. Just...
I sent in a dead ga-p35-dq6 for rma and after a month from the time it was received at Gigabyte they sent it back to me saying it was "fixed" but I haven't had the heart to rebuild yet. I don't know what is worse, spending almost $300 for a motherboard and having it die in a few months or buying...
Everything I have read at this site and others regarding gaming performance comparisons between a e8xxx cpu and the conroe quad cores has unequivocally favored the e8xxx. Not to stir the pot because they are both great products and one may favor the motherboard and memory you want to use but...
For what its worth I had the same problem but after steady use for many months. I found it particularly interesting that my problem with the keyboard and post screen was identical. I RMA'd the mobo and havent heard much from Gigabyte after waiting a month for the results. I asked them what...
Has anyone had to RMA their P35-DQ6? My PC wouldn't boot one morning and I tried the recommended troubleshooting to no avail so I got an rma. They have had the board almost a month and still no answer. Luckily I found a P35-DS3L for cheap at Compusa's inventory clearance so I have a rig but I...
Thanks for the heat and twist tips. It makes perfect sense. It was out of the case already but luckily I was pulling straight up and it went right back in. I did bend 3 pins once on this very pc I am using now (trusty A7N8X-e) and actually successfully bent them back with using a magnifying...
It may be a while until my c2d system is revived so I am going to throw my 939 back together. Eventually, I am hoping to male a silent htpc from this platform since it always ran so cool. But for now I will try the 8800 GTS so I can frag again. Big hug for the 939! I hope it likes the zalman hsf...
I am not trying to be flip but the easy solution is never turn it off! I have two Giga P35s so I am quite sympathetic. My Dq6 had a similar issue so I just left it on. I shut it down in a storm since it was likely we would lose power and it never booted back up. Now I wish I had left it on and...
I think its probably easy to tell if the cpu has been run at a faster fsb or a higher voltage. I thought I was getting something for nothing by buying the 5320 and running at 6600+ speeds but you know how the old saying goes...
Now that I am "stuck" with an extra P35 mobo I think I will get the...
Thanks for the replys guys. I guess all these years of good luck with hardware has caught up to me and I am paying for it all at once. I did the full battery out CMOS clear too btw. I don't know where I can even buy a cpu or memory near home now that compusa is closing nor could I borrow parts...
OK I consider myself an experienced PC builder but have always had things work well so I am not very experienced diagnosing problems. Now I am stuck with a PC that won't boot and I don't know what the problem may be.
I have a e6320 in a Gigabyte P35 that ran great until it just didnt...
I thought it was the mobo so I sent it in for RMA but bought almost same model and it won't boot either. How do I isolate whether the cpu is toast or identify other problems like psu. cpu or gpu?
ok after many months of steady service I powered down my PC and now it refuses to reboot. It started by doing the start up shut down then start aup again thing that this mobo has been infamous for except there was no boot on the second, third or fourth cycle. I switched the PSU- no change. I...
