Issues with a dead PSU

Turns out the PSU took out the CPU when it died. I put in the new CPU along with a replacement PSU, and everything seems to be running fine.

Issues with a dead PSU

I already tried to reset the BIOS. Is there anyway to confirm what died on me? I just bought a new dual core 3800+ which I haven't even gotten to install... It would suck to need a new motherboard/ram/cpu and everything.

Issues with a dead PSU

Woke up this morning and my computer was off... but I had left it running last night. Turns out my PSU went and was no longer giving power. Luckily my roomate still had his spare, so I put it in and now the motherboard appears to get power, but nothing shows up on screen. I have an EVGA NF41...

Upgrade Path

I'm not particularly interested in overclocking potential; for the most part I just view it as a secondary factor which is "nice" to have. I know that may mean losing out sometimes, but I'm not interested in buying one as a gamble, or risking breaking it. Only yesterday did I overclock my 3000+...

All my videos have a red tint

http://www.cccp-project.net/ Very simple but extremely well made codec pack, works with anything you could need when paired with real- and qt-alternative. Ask on their forums about getting rid of other crap.

3000+ OC

Got it to OC up to 2.35GHz, with a 260MHz HTT and 213MHz on memory. However, although my CPU is running nicely my 3D performance has gone to crap. I had run 3Dmark06 before hand, just as a rough comparison, and my score on the GPU tests dropped drastically.

3000+ OC

I had played around with OCing my A64 3000+ venice way back when, but ended up not wanting to risk exploding my processor so I held off. I decided to try again now that it wouldn't be nearly as costly to upgrade, but it seems like I'm having trouble getting the FSB very high. I don't recall...

Upgrade Path

Okay, if 939 Opertons are going to be going away soon then thats my first priority to upgrade I think. Is the 185 going to be the last one? $240 is a fair bit more than I want to spend, but it might be worth it to max out this motherboard's processing if I won't be able to later.

Upgrade Path

My main concern is NOT performance issues currently as I have yet to come across a game which doesn't run at least nearly max settings at native resolution. I've actually been extremely happy with this setup, considering how relatively little I payed and how long it has lasted. Instead, I just...

Upgrade Path

A while back I got a NF4 939 motherboard with a A64 3000+, and a 7800GT. I was originally planning to upgrade at some point to one of the higher end 939 chips as they phased out and prices dropped off, but before they were all gone. I haven't really been having performance issues of any kind...

Benchmarks for World of Warcraft?

Stop spreading lies. If my 3000+ can take WoW maxed without a hitch, a 3200+ is even better off. Especially running at a 30 inch resolution, its all about the GPU with modern gaming.

Dell 2007WFP

I suppose I could just call up Dell and ask for a replacement, and see if it has the same problem when it arrives. I guess I'll find out just how good their total satisfaction policy is.

Dell 2007WFP

I could really use an answer here: Should a pure black screen viewed dead-on from 1~2 ft away be a consistent black, or is very noticeable reddening in the corners normal? ...would posting some pics be helpful? It appears to be due to the view angle, since I do see some slight back light...
