I've got an MSI Z68MA-ED55 that was running some older BIOS, I've been looking at maybe upgrading my I5-2500k to one of the new Ivy Bridge CPUs, in order to do that, a BIOS update was required. Followed the instructions laid out here: Instructions Put the Update on a USB drive, ran it, it...

I've been running Intel quite a while, but after playing with a friend's new phenom II system, I'm thinking it may be time to upgrade. I'm running an e6320(1.86Gzh) at 2.4GHz and 4GB of DDR2 memory. Video is a 1GB 4870, so that should be fine. I'm thinking of the following upgrade to my...

My new quad box this morning decided to reboot itself when I was doing something trival (changing screen resolution) After the reboot, I was informed that <Root>\system32\ntoskrln.exe was missing or corrupt.... uh oh. I try to reboot to a windows rescue disk, but it hangs immediately...

I got some advice in my original thread here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1187580 After trying everything I could, reading the threads over at XS and even a little voodoo, I was nowhere closer to success. The system will boot into windows just fine at 360fsb, it'll run...

The last time I overclocked anything it was on an abit board with a pair of celeron 300s that I got to 450 really. I've tinkered, but haven't had anything stable for overclocking at all in a long long time. I recently picked up a 6320, asus p5b-e and a freezer 7 pro. I decided to go poke...

I'm not running vista, I won't be running vista any time in the next year or two at the soonest, so I don't care about DX10. Grabbing the 7950 gives me more memory and saves about 100 bucks over the 8800, what's the performance difference between the two? I'm upgrading from a stock 6800...

My old epox 8rda+ died today (boo), and I've got to replace it. The CPU is still good(barton 2800+), and the RAM and video card test fine in another system, as does the PSU, so the board seems dead. Any suggestions? I'm not opposed to buying a new board+CPU, but I'd rather not upgrade the...

I'm scared. I'm certain this entire system is going to explode and eat my computer. Water doesn't belong in computers!

Any VGA water coolers fit on the 9800 pro AIW? Most of the ones I've seen either just flat say they don't fit or when you look at them you can see they won't.

I've got a barton 2800+ on an epox 8RDA+ board right now, decent corsair XMS memory. I've got that upgrade itch... I've decided to finally get into water cooling. My question is this, should I just go out and pick up a mobile barton and keep using the 8rda+? Or should I grab a new Mobo/CPU...
