    Help, no video with new system

    Montag, I figured it out. Looks its the mobo. It won't boot in dual channel. With either stick of memory installed separately it boots fine. With both in dual channel, no go. If I put both in, but not dual channel it boots fine. Any thoughts on what would cause this? Sorry for the slow...

    How tight should my hsf be?

    Can't find instructions on Coolermaster website. I'll try to describe best I can. There are 4 permanently attached threaded bolts on the top of the hsf that pass through the holes in the mobo and you put 4 nuts on from the bottom. So basically I guess how tight do you think I should make these...

    How tight should my hsf be?

    The instructions say "fasten securely". Should I "snug" them up or tighten as much as possible? Thanks

    How tight should my hsf be?

    How tight is too tight? Do I run the risk of damaging my cpu? I have an Intel D915PBL mobo and P4 3.4 socket 775. Thanks for your opinions.

    Need help. comp. wont boot

    Hitting F8 while booting will get you into safe mode. If you are in a re-booting loop, it may mean your hdd is bad or going bad. It could also mean that your Windows install has crapped out. If you have a Dell operating system cd you can attempt to repair the installation. Or call Dell:).

    what kind of speakers do you have for ur pc?

    I've had the Klipsch v2-400s since they came out something like 4 years ago. They still sound awesome and I'm not shy about turning them up:). I use them for music and gaming and they kick major arse!

    Question regarding MAC filtering and wireless security

    Choose TKIP. Then put in your passphrase. WPA is much simpler than WEP with hexadecimal IMO.

    Linksys BEFW11S4 ver 1.44.2z (Dec 13 2002)

    I've owned one of these since it came out almost 3 years ago with no problems. I don't think they've updated the firmware for quite a long time so it doesn't support WPA and probably some other newer security features. I live in a neighborhood full of old, clueless people some I'm not real...
