I need serious help !!!!

Once I replaced the motherboard, the clicking went away. I first thought that it might be the harddrive but when I looked inside the case (almost cutting my ear off) the sound was not coming from the HDD. Almost like the mobo ship was bad.

SLK-900U and A7N8X 2.0 deluxe

Does anyone have this setup. I just installed the plate under the mobo and before I install my new 2500+ barton, I was wondering if I'm risking damage to much?? Thermalright says it can fit on my board but I would feel better hearing it from people that have actually tried. Thanks :confused:

doing a repair on Windows XP

Does anyone know if there is a default password when doing a repair to your operating system? I'm trying to avoid doing a new install and when I ask to repair, it asks me for my password. I know I do not have a password because I had this problem before so when I did a complete install of XP I...

Newegg rules

Yeah I know there are probably hundreds of newegg rocks, I was actually just making fun of Compusa. In the past year between games and upgrades I've probably spent over $3000 (getting sick to stomach) from various sites. Mainly newegg and EB.com. But I've actually used another site for my...

Macro, If you read my first post, I paid for fed next air totalling 184. the retail was $160. Also I realize I'm a newbie on this board but if I had to concern myself over a $5-$10 difference in price from one site that I have experience with to another, I wouldn't be purchasing the cpu until...

Newegg rules

There are other websites that do sell things slightly cheaper then newegg but I'm willing to pay "extra" (we're talking about a few dollars) because of the history I have with them. In the past year I have bought over 15 items from them and one very minor error, I ordered express shipping (extra...

If you saw my thread earlier on cpu/overclocking you could see that I might need a new cpu. Since I'm at work I decided to go ahead and purchase a new AMD XP 2400+ retail). I decided to call a Compusa close to work to see how much it would cost.....THEY ARE ASKING FOR $300 FOR THE 2400+!!!!!!! I...

Did I burn my CPU????

I have SIS Sandra software and it still was able to run tests but when I tried to play a game (testing of course) it could never reach a picture screen...when you say reformat...do you mean run windows xp cd and do a repair?
