Helping my neighbor is build a rig, though I know what would be best for him overall if he had the funds
His current rig is
AMD64 4200+ (939 socket)
1GB Crucial Ballistix
ATI 1900XT
He has a meager budget of 490, so here's his options
buy 2GB of ram coupled with the 8800GT...
Hey, I have a problem with my new rig. Plugged everything up set the switches to the correct places, and I can't even get my PC to boot up, (the mobo's power switch won't even power on the system
I can see that the standby led is on, I've tried taking every apart and putting back together...
I saw the DFI CFX3200 requires a 8pin power connector along with the 24 power connector. I was wondering does the Antec SP-500 have a 8 pin or would I have to buy a 4 pin to 8 pin convertor
I've been reading the specification book on both the Platinum and non-platinum version, and I have a question
In the platinum book, it keeps referring to nForce 3 Ultra chip, while the non platinum version refers to it's chip as nForce 4 SLi.
I'm going to assume that it's a misprint?
I have XP on a SATA and I have my old HDDs on ATA,. When I bootup into XP it gives that little bubble saying that I can safely remove hardware. I keep recognizing my ATA harddrives as USB harddrives. Everything moves VERY slow. My CPU usage pings 100% all the time What gives?
I've had my setup for some time now, and I have a problem, that popped up yesterday. I went in to add my other HD to my rig, (took it out eariler) and I got MAJOR glitches @ the bootup and Bios screen. It won't boot into windows it, as soon as it get past the windows bootup sequence, I get a...
So I got my NV5 for my 6800NU, had to redo it 3 times
Stock I was getting 66 idle 79 load
Now I get
50 idle 67 load @ 400/800
I'm wondering should my load really be THAT high? I mean come on
Something is going on, When I right click I no longer have the option to hide icons.
When I go to properties to change my wallpaper, it lists ALL of my pictures I currently have, and when I click to set one as my wall........it does nothing
So I was moving my old HD over as a slave drive so I can get some of the stuff off of it, and while I was at it add both DVD drives.
So I added my od harddrive as my slave to my master, and set the drives as master and slave (brought over from old PC)
So I set it up, she's up and running...
Ok for some reason on Unreal Engine based games, if I exit the game I blue screen and my PC resets, it doesn't do this for any other game, been playing HL2, Vampire: Bloodlines, some Quake 3, Doom 3 and I can exit them all no problmes, If I exit Unreal or Raven Shield it BSOD on me then my PC...
Ok I have no idea what's going on, I was just moving some files around and the power just suddenly cut off. I know it's not my PSU, I've had the system rum 3Dmark03 for 12 hours (basically full load on the PSU) and no problem. My mouse stopped working after that so I turn it back on and switch...
Never used 3Dmark before my friend told me to try it and see what I get.
I just did the benchmark and got a 9516 he's telling me that, that score is too low for my card and should be in the 10k and above area. As this is a GPU test, how much would ram effect the score? Right now I'm only...
I really want to know what's the difference between the two, I can't seem to really find a place that compares them. At first I thought there were the same, but I've been googlign on different sites and they have different boxes and everything.
So I just got my RMA'ed Processor and Mobo, put it together, and turn on..............suprise suprise, same damn problem
I attached the D-Led so I can see what step it's currently on..........all four RED LEDs meaning damaged or inproper install of processor. I don't even get past this part...
