Intermittent startup problems

Well, I like the power supply answer a little better, but without gutting a family member's computer to test my own, the only other PSU I have available to test with is only a 200-watt from my now very old Dell. To be safe, I suppose I could swap the much less power-hungry video card out from...

Intermittent startup problems

I have an older PC which I had built back in late '04. Recently I've started having occasional problems getting the computer to power on. Basically, I can see the red light on the motherboard (a DFI LanParty UT 250Gb nForce3 board) near the RAM when my power supply is turned on, but pressing...

Please help with video card selection...

Hey guys. The other night my video card gave out on me so I'm back in the market and am trying to determine how high to shoot with it's replacement. My old card was a 256 MB GeForce 6800GT which was doing the job, but since I have to purchase a new card anyway, I'd like to get as much of a...

WinFast TV2000 XP Expert + Vista?

Has anyone found a way to get the WinFast TV2000 XP Expert to work in Vista? I just installed RC1 and installed the latest software and drivers from the Leadtek website, but they don't seem to like vista. The software errors out and wants to send a report off to Microsoft, though nobody's...

Help! Need a basic, but reliable motherboard...

Hi all, As the title says, I'm RMAing the Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 GeForce 6150 motherboard as it's been nothing but problems. What would be the best way to go for a replacement board? The system is basically going to be used for web browsing and e-mail with light gaming or multimedia on...

System with Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 no longer wants to POST. What now?

Yup, had the whole thing up and running. Windows was installed with all drivers. I had a USB wireless NIC installed which I unplugged when the problem started, but it made no difference. With the memory out I was hoping I would at least get a couple beeps from the motherboard to say "Hey...

System with Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 no longer wants to POST. What now?

Well, I built a new computer (see my earlier thread HERE) on Friday and all was going great until a little while ago when I went back and tried to boot it up as I've done numberous times over the last two days. It just doesn't want to POST now. The fans are turning on, the power LED is on, and...

Ready to order new system. Does everything here look okay?

Thanks for the input guys. And tropic, thanks for the item-by-item comments. Okay, for a few bucks more I dropped the Lite-On DVD burner in favor of the NEC since I can still get the retail version that includes a basic burning suite. I would have liked to go with Windows XP Pro as I have...

Ready to order new system. Does everything here look okay?

Okay, I'm planning to build two general-use computers as configured below. I expect it should be a pretty simply build but since I don't have a lot of experience selecting the parts to go together, does everything look okay here (strong enough PSU, stock AMD HSF ok, etc.)? CASE / PSU...

*UPDATED* Suggestions needed on parts for an inexpensive computer. Input greatly appreciated...

Do you work on commission? ;) Actually you're kind of close to what I was thinking of with your build which is probably a good sign. I was actually looking at the 6100 version of that Gigabyte board but for $9 more the better one seems worth the upgrade. For the case I was considering...

*UPDATED* Suggestions needed on parts for an inexpensive computer. Input greatly appreciated...

Hi all. I'm looking to build a pair of basic computers for family members and aiming for no more than a $550 price point including Windows XP Home OEM, so call it $450 for hardware if at all possible. My primary goal is good speed and absolute stability (within the limitations of Windows and...

Is this the best way to get power to all components?

I have a Seasonic SuperSilent 400W active PFC PSU. Having enough connectors on there would be no problem if not for the recommendation by eVGA that the video card get its own power lead. I still managed to run everything else through the other one although if I add the extra DVD-ROM I've been...

Samsung 710N

The base is about 7 3/4" in diameter. I've had mine for a few months and it's been pretty good. I haven't noticed any pixel defects on mine fortunately and the response time is generally fine for games IMO, though some exhibit a little more ghosting than I'd like while others are quite good...
