so earlier today i was surfing the web and my computer decides to randomly turn off. i'm thinking okay, no big deal, i'll just turn it back on again. anyway, i go to turn my computer on again and all the lights come on, but about 5 seconds later it shuts off again. if i try to turn it back on...

yes, it's displaying correctly in the device manager and it is enabled in the bios.

just put a new computer together with the msi k8n neo4 platinum mobo. everything else seems to work fine except the onboard sound. i tried to install the realtek 97 drivers and the nvidia drivers, nothing seems to work. anything else i can do?

right now i have 512, 2 sticks. i'm planning on buying this: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=20-145-440&DEPA=0 if i bought this ram and ran it in single channel, would i notice a significant difference?

is this creating a huge bottleneck? i've got like $150 to spend and i dunno which to upgrade. my motherboard so i can run the ram in dual channel, or buy 1gb of pc-3200 and let the chip run in single channel. which would be more beneficial?

alright, cool. so i don't have to buy a brand new ps. so basically it's a problem between my motherboard and ram?

i have 2 256 sticks of pc-2700 and that's exactly how it's running right now. i don't think my motherboard does dual channeling because the 2 sticks i have are the exact same thing. would this be a good upgrade for me to do and still give me a significant performance boost...

recently i bought a gigabyte 6600 gt @ 500/1000. i thought this card was going to be a beast compared to my fx5600. but as soon as i loaded up games like cs:source, world of warcraft and doom 3, i barely noticed a difference. in the source stress test, i've gotten 8 more fps. in wow and d3, the...

the fan's rpm is at 2500. it's a stock heatsink for a p4 3 ghz cpu. earlier my cpu was running at 90 degrees celsius, according to my mobo. now it's supposedly running at 30. i thought stock fan's rpm should be around 4200-4800 rpm? and i've noticed another thing. my comp runs like...

it now tries to load windows, but half way it gives a blue screen and reboots. i've been told that i have to format because i changed mobos.

i bought a new abit nf7-s2g mobo from fry's and it won't read my hd it seems. it detects it fine though. what happens is when i am starting my comp up, it'll freeze at "verifying dmi pool data..." and the hd led will stay on. i know the hd is not bad because it works with another comp. any...

i have a soyo sy-kt400 mobo. i flashed my bios twice and no go. once without clearing cmos and once clearing cmos.

i set the fsb at 166, i rebooted and then it said "unknown chip @ 1666 mhz" and then it shut off again. i have a 450w ps.

hmm, i was browsing the site and found a bios flash update that will support barton core cpus. i flashed my bios but it still won't recognize the cpu.

thanks for the welcome. i bought the cpu off newegg. looks like i am gonna try and clear the cmos then pray i can enter bios and change the settings. thanks guys. :)
