My MSI 785GM board that is supposed to be 140W rated did the same thing when I was running P95 to try to diagnose a random memory error problem. Never got the memory error but the system is completely dead and I tried a new PS to make sure it wasn't that. Are the 970 boards reliable with OCed...

I loved the first Deus Ex... will I be able to play this with my GF 9600GT or do I need a better card to even bother with it?

Ultimate reliability... never had a problem with Corsair, ever.

If you can use used parts, you can build him a really nice system cheap. For instance, I just built my new X6 system and have the Q6600 quad core, MB and 4GB of RAM that are just sitting in a box that I would sell cheap. Not trying to turn this into a FS thread but used is your best option if...

that is a good deal...

I put some stuff in my cart last night but couldn't decide if I really wanted it. When I checked back today, it still has the 30% BCB banner on the page. But when I go all the way through checkout, I never see the BCB show up anywhere. Kinda scary... PNY and Galaxy GTX 470 are both 326.00 less...

I'm trying to set up a 5570 to output to a 1080p projector, a 1080p 47 in TV and a desktop monitor. What I need it to do is clone the projector and the TV and use the monitor to control the software. It is fairly easy to get the monitor and projector working properly but I can't get the TV to be...

I can't get the realtek sound drivers to install from the disc, or using realtek's generic driver. It gets right to the end of installing and then hangs and reboots. After that, it goes into a endless reboot cycle until I go into safe mode and uninstall the driver. Device manager show 2 devices...

I had a MSI 785G-E51 that would just shut down as soon as I ran a stress test using all 4 cores on my P II 555. I RMA'ed the board and they sent me back the newer E65 board with the heatpipe cooler on the NB and mosfets. I haven't had time to test it yet, but it looks like it should help a lot-...

I did finally get a replacement board. Pretty cool too since it is the upgraded E65 with the heatpipe cooling on the NB and mosfets. I think that they are having problems with boards dying from Phenom II's and especially X6 processors. All in all, I've had really good luck with MSI boards going...

Q6600 slightly OCed to 2.8, Antec 650 PS, HDTV tuner, 4 HDD's. Since pretty much any mid-range card that is out now is less power hungry than my old 9600 GSO, I don't think the PS will be an issue. How much faster is the 5770 than the 5750... 10%? Do 5750's generally OC well?

Like the title says, I'm looking for a new card that is about twice as fast as my current 9600 GSO 384MB card. I really don't game much any more so I'm not really going for the high end stuff. Monitor is 1600x1200 and I usually don't use AA at that res. So is a 5750 in the 2X league? They are...

Yeah, I tried 2 different PS... the 460 I mentioned is a new Cooler Master Elite with 2x12V rated at 18A each. I did test it loaded on 2 cores and it was fine. The shut down problem seems like a MB issue but I can't be certain since the MB won't post after I updated the bios. I sent an RMA...

The board was flaky and unstable to begin with, so I flashed to the latest bios and now it won't post. Any suggestions? I sent an RMA request to MSI a week ago but haven't heard back from them yet... are they usually this slow?

A B3 almost certainly needs more Vcore at 333. Some B3's had a hard time getting to 3GHz without a lot of voltage.
