    Jostle restarting

    It seems to be OK outside the case, and I've reseated the proc twice now. The pins seem to be ok, visibly anyway, but i am concerned my RAM resets to 1333 speed and not 1600 when its jostle restarted, but that may just be a weird mobo thing. What worries me is that I can't see how a bent...

    Jostle restarting

    I don't know what would cause a cop to restart when plugging in a pair of headphones. It seems like anytime I unplug or plug in something it restarts. I thought maybe it wasn't getting enough power but I put in a 750 watt and I'm getting the same deal. How would a sound card port cause a...

    Jostle restarting

    I have a Lian Li PC60 case and a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 LGA 1156 mobo Will probably take it out and see if it boots outside the case, I just haven't had time lately, and when i messed with it before it wouldn't boot period. Can't really say why it went back to booting, I took everything...

    Jostle restarting

    Just built a new system, core i7 860, GTX 460 form gigabyte, 4GB ram, 750W corsair PSU, good stuff, but i noticed when i plug my headphones into my comp it causes it to restart. Also noticed that when i move or bump the case it also restarts. Thought maybe I had metal-on-metal contact on...

    Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB, this one any good?

    Was exactly the same, temps maybe went up 1-2C idle and max 5 under load. Can't be heard at all, my comp is a foot and a half from my head and I can't hear a thing. Voltage never changed, and the air coming out of the side vent is luke-warm, maybe even cold, so I am more than pleased. Puts...

    2GB vs 3GB

    That was the ORIGINAL plan, but I opted to get 2x512 instead of 1x1GB to utilize the gig in dual channel as mentioned above. So my current config is 2x1GB in dual channel and 2x512MB in dual channel. AND: I fixed my problem. I changed the voltage slightly and BOOM, back to 5.5 where I...

    2GB vs 3GB

    Well, after I installed the extra gig Vista dropped my performance index from 5.5 to 4.8. Don't know what thats about... Noticed a much snappier exit from resource intensive games, and it's much better at multitasking with video stuff.

    2GB vs 3GB

    Ok. My rig is pretty standard, C2D @2.8, 2 GB of corsair 6400, 640MB evga 8800GTS I went with another gig as 2 512 sticks, 6400, to stick in dual channel. So, I'll have 2 1GB sticks in one channel and 2 512s in the other. The ram is identical to the stuff I all ready have in there...

    2GB vs 3GB

    I did a quick search for a topic like this and didn't see one, so if it all ready exists, I'm sorry. So I'm running Vista with 2 GB of ram in dual channel, but some of the newer games hang a bit after you exit out, so I'm considering getting one more gig. Would there be a noticeable speed...

    Hey guys, Going to be buying the Tingle RPG for NDS when it comes out in the UK, since there's no word yet on when its going to be available in the US anytime soon. Before I go about this, I had a few questions partaining to the game. First, will a UK game work in an American DS? do I...

    Vista Boot Hang

    I've had my OEM version of Ultimate running perfectly for months now without a hitch. I dual-boot between V and XP media center pretty regularly, but now I am unable to boot into my V partition. It goes up to the boot screen, I see the boot screen finish, then it just hangs and my monitor...

    So I got my Ratpadz XT mousepad.

    The bumps are a good thing. The changing surface makes the lazer register easier and comsume less power, and since less points are making contact with the mouse, the friction should be reduced and it should glide a bit better. Short answer: yea, its a good thing

    playlist buttons on MX3000 keyboard

    I'd go for the LX3000 kit. It has a mouse with it too, but its always good to have a backup. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2162,CONTENTID=10709 Its the one im using now, along with an MX1000 mouse. The batteries last for half a year and its got a lot of exta...

    Hard Drive Woes

    Still no luck, I know my floppy iss workin, I can plug it up to my bro's comp and it works just fine, the drivers still aren't working. This is the most perplexing thing I've personally ever encountered. Would a fried mobo cause something like this to happen? To be able to see the volumes...

    Hard Drive Woes

    Ok So i've tried about 20 different kinds of Asus drivers on a floppy and windows refuses eveyr one of them, i put it in the floppy drive and it keeps saying Insert the disk into drive A. Both my drives are SATA, so unless I can get windows to recognize, i doubt i can repair anything. I took...

    Hard Drive Woes

    Question: When windows asks for third party SCSI drivers to see my SATA HDDs, is it asking for the drivers for my HDD or my mobo SCSI drivers?

    Hard Drive Woes

    Yeah kinda, I have sort of an old motherboard, so my options for primary and secondary HDDs are "Auto" and "user defined HDD" so its hard to tell if the mobo actually detects them Very briefly during start up it will show me having 2 HDDs and their size at the bottom of the screen, if I...

    Hard Drive Woes

    I have a WD250 and a WD120 for my 2 SATA HDDs. Recently I had bought an SATA power splitter that takes a regular 4 pin power and transforms it to 2 SATA powers. After doing a lot of wire management to hide my old 4 pin power plugs, I plugged my SATA splitter up to my 2 drives, closed everything...

    Exceedingly Hot XP 2000+

    Ok I went out and bought a Thermaltake Slim Volcano 8 and stuck it on there. Now it hovers around 125F. A lot better. I guess im just used to my overclocked P4 3.2 running at 107 in the same room, so anything over 140 scares me. I'll keep an eye on it and such form now on, but I'm pretty sure...

    Exceedingly Hot XP 2000+

    I salvaged an old comp for my parents the other day that had an AMD XP 2000+ at 1.66GHz and a biostar MB on it. I slapped in a radeon 9550, a new HDD, and some PQI RAM. Everything was running fine until I checked the temp and it was at 170F. I took apart the HSF and cleaned it, then added...

    best gaming keyboard (backlit)?

    I would wait till october. Logitech will release the G15 keyboard for $70 bucks that will knock the PANTS off the eclipse or any other keyboard out now, I'd imagine. I know i'm going for that. It's worth the 2 months wait. It's got a built in LCD screen that monitors system temps, Macros for...
