    Post issue- Intel DX58SO

    I've been having a problem that I recently was concerned about (and posted about on the Intel boards with no responses). My computer would turn on, monitor would initialize, then I'd get a non-blinking _ on screen for a period of 1-2 minutes before the bios post screen would pop up, and...

    DX58SO Issue- Wierd

    I've got a DX58SO that's having a hang issue at bootup. I'm getting no beeps, no flashing light indicators or anything of the sort. Prior to the standard Intel logo screen I'm getting a single white underscore on black in the top left corner of the screen. It's not flashing. After an...

    Quietest Stock 4850/4870?

    Typically I would do the VGA cooler installation myself, but over the years I've either grown lazy or unwilling to deal with the fallout if/when a card burns up. So are there any thoughts on a stock 4800 series processor that won't sound like a buzz saw or jet engine?

    8800GT Texture Shimmering- TF2

    I'm having an issue with Team Fortress where certain textures- most notably doors which leads to texture shimmering. I'm wondering if this is something which a specific driver might be able to resolve or otherwise. I had an x1900xtx in there previously which had no issues. Company of Heroes...

    LG GGC-H20N- Combo HD Player on the Cheap

    I found this on NCIX while looking for stuff for a friend to design an HTPC. I literally stumbled upon it. I'm looking for it in the states, but with little to no luck. Looking to finance my next build via newegg, and would love to throw this in there. I can't find it anywhere though. If...

    Standard ATX HTPC case?

    Title says it all. I'm a big fan of the look of the Antec Fusion and would prefer not going too far over the price. The biggest problem is I can't find any core 2 quad compatable motherboards which support sli or crossfire. In short, I'm looking to create an HTPC that can also be a gaming...

    Crossfire/SLI Micro ATX?

    For the moment I'm looking for a potential crossfire or sli motherboard to fit inside an Antec Fusion. The objective is to create a HTPC which can game fairly well- the biggest problem being the fact that I'm aiming for performance but at the same time want video decode on a GPU. After a...

    Boot frustration- DG965WH

    This isn't so much a problem as a nagging frustration with the motherboard. When I try and boot I get a steady underscore which holds for a period of about a minute, followed by a "5A" which appears in the bottom right corner of the screen which also holds for about 30 seconds to a minute...

    Intel x3000 Performance?

    I've done a few quick searches and found almost nothing which details it. Supposedly the intel x3000 is capable of pretty much everything a modern video card is- complete with compatability with DX10. Now, I don't expect performance to be on par with a discrete video card at all- in fact I'm...

    P160 Discontinued?

    I was hoping to build a PC with it, but I noticed newegg and clubit have taken it down. It's still on Zoom though. I was hoping on getting it through newegg due to the financing- it'd be a bummer if unable to get it. I could go with a p180 also (I've got the p180b), but was looking for...

    Disk Read Error- Not the only irregularity

    I've been running into a multitude of issues with my new pc. First and foremost, my initial Gigabyte DS3 was defective due to a bad video card slot- RMAed and appeared taken care of. Second problem was a memory issue, which doesn't seem to be occuring at the moment. I already RMAed the...

    Corsair RMA process

    Anyone else have tough experiences with them? I ran Memtest 86 on both sticks that I got with the newegg 2x1024 CL5 ddr800 xms stuff that was sent to me, both failed. Eurosoft's PC-Check is also identifying both sticks individually as bad. I've already adjusted the memory to the recommended...
