Ok, I got the PSU today. Are there any precautions I should take during the switch?

I ended up purchasing the Olympia 650 for $130.20 at deadeyedeals.com with the jonnyguru coupon code. I'll let you guys know if my problem gets fixed once I get everything set up.

I really like the Silverstone Olympia 650, but it's a little too much for my pocket. Anyone know where I can get it for under $120(maybe low $100s) with shipping and all? I also noticed the SilverStone ST60F Strider 600W Modular Power Supply, but it's not single rail. The thing that caught...

I've tested the ram several times. The guys at MSI concluded that I needed to up the voltage to 2.1 like the OCZ site states so I did and that didn't fix my problem. I think I might run memtest all night tonight, but the few times I've run it, I've never gotten any errors. So, I'm really...

Ok, so I've been reaching out to the MSI forums for the problems I've been having with my computer lately. http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=105560.0 After getting my ram voltage situation, my problem still persists. So, now they have assumed it's being caused by my shitty PSU...

So, this started happening about every single day last week. I'd boot or reboot and explorer.exe was frozen and none of my startup apps would load. This has happened in the past every once in a while, but it was easily fixed by a System Restore. Well, I got tired of doing it every single day...

Yep, I sanded it all the way to the metal then I added a coat of primer and wetsanded and then added another coat and wetsanded.

I've read several guides, but they all seem to vary as to what I must do after the second coat of paint completely dries (or cures). Do I: a) spray clearcoat -> wetsand with really fine sandpaper -> add rubbing compound -> wait 30 days before adding wax b) wetsand 2nd coat -> spray clear...

I called support, and they weren't much help. He just told me to up the refresh rate to 75Hz and that's all he knew what might help. He said it might be a compatibility issue, but I don't understand how that's possible if all drivers are up to date and it worked fine on a 4/5 year old Compaq...

I bought a new Acer 19" monitor from NewEgg and I got it yesterday. I unpacked it and connected it to my recently built PC and it seemed to work fine. Then, while I was in the middle of installing something the monitor and computer shut off. So I powered back up and began installing again...

Hehe, is this what you were talking about, General Crespin? http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/loginoki-the-lcd-mouse-mod/

Gah! They weren't. ---_____--- Sorry for my noobie-ness. Thanks, kvn5000.

I just realized today when I was trying to connect my MP3 player to my recently built computer that my USB ports weren't working. I checked the device manager and they're simply not present. I've installed all the mobo's drivers and I have SP2 installed, so I don't know why they're not...

Ahhh, the lettering looks so nice. Can't wait to see it lit up. Keep up the good work. :)

Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement antenna for this? I found this link via google: http://www.fab-corp.com/product.php?productid=1432&cat=282&page=1 But I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for or what connector I'm supposed to get. There's also some on eBay but I...

I decided to further read the bleedingedge forums. Someone suggested to someone else to up the some voltage settings. So I did and now I'm in the GUI part of the installation. FINALLY!

I just read the whole manual and the only method of upgrading the BIOS is by the Live Method you described. I can't really do it that way if I can't install XP in the first place. :(

That was before I moved it to the right slot. Once I moved it to the correct one, the tests showed no errors. I just googled up "problems with OCZ DDR2" and found these threads: http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?p=178735 http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22133...

No, no, no. It came straight out of the package and into the mobo and there is no carpet around me. I'm sitting in an all wood floor store and everything is on a work bench. No static around. If it's bad, why is it not showing any errors in memtest? Should I just send it back to newegg for a...

Argh! It gets to the Setup is copying files stage and I get a bunch of BSODs. It also tells me that it can't copy some files. I press enter to retry and some install but I have to skip others. I checked the ram again with memtest and it's doing fine. I keep getting STOP: 0x0000008E...

Well, the reason I was thinking I needed 2 sticks was because the manual only shows me the rules for ram for 2 sticks. I checked the manual again and I realized that the first stick is supposed to go in the 3rd slot. Seemed kinda weird to me. I had it in the 1st slot. I just tried the...

So, does this mean it's FUBARed or do I need to buy another one to pair it up with?

Ahh, ok. Could it be that I have to have 2 modules in? I was kinda trying to avoid buying 2 sticks. My paypal balance is dry. If it's faulty ram, then I guess I'm going to have to RMA it. I'll post back later with the results.

I've tried several times to install XP Pro on my new machine that I built. At first everything seemed to go smoothly, but then I got a BSOD. So I manually rebooted and tried the installation again; another BSOD. I did it one more time and it got to the Setup is starting windows message. So I...

Well, it was blue at the beginning but when it gets to that stage it turns red. I rebooted and now it's at the red screen again. :(

I got it to work now. I disabled the NVIDIA Agent and now installing XP Pro. Not sure if it's installing properly or not. It's been sitting at the "Setup is starting windows" screen for a while now. Almost 30 minutes. The usual blue bg is red for some reason too. How long does it usually...

Ok, I got into the BIOS but I don't see anything about network booting. I changed the order of what it booted but it didn't make any difference. It also showed me that everything is connected because everything shows up but I still don't get why it says to check a cable.

How do I get into the BIOS? :confused:

Ok, so I'm building my own computer for the first time. Everything seems to be connected correctly but I keep getting this error. NVIDIA Boot Agent 224.0523 Copyright (C) 2001-2005 NVIDIA Corporation Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable...

Sorry to hijack, but I have a noob question (may even be stupid). If I buy a colored cold cathode (let's say blue) and then buy UV sensitive cables and fans, will they "light up?" Or do I have to buy a UV cathode? Is there such thing as a blue UV cathode?

Ok, I'm a newb. I have an engraving Dremel, but this is my first "regular" Dremel. I'm about to cut a window into the side of my case, but I can't figure out how to put the cutting disc on the mandrel. The screw up top won't come off. Am I doing something wrong? Edit: Nevermind I...

Wee! Thanks OP. I picked one up this morning in Wake Forest, NC. 'Twas the last one. :D
