    Thanks for the reply. Honestly, It just gives me a reason to upgrade. I've been eyeing the 939 cpus for awhile.

    Computer boots to snow screen; Mobo fried?

    Background: I haphazardly installed a second hard drive yesterday. In the process of fitting my hard drive into my computer, I unplugged the power cord to my 6800gt video card. Before I attempted to boot up my computer, I forgot to reconnect the power cord into my VC. As soon as I hit power, I...

    Motherboard

    I just recently swapped out mobos and used the existing os on my hard drive. Once I installed the new mobo - i booted from my xp home cd and used the repair feature. It's been a month now and I've had no problems. FYI - I switched from a nf3 chipset to a k8T800 chipset.

    BFG 6800GT Freezing Problem

    Update: I fixed my 10s freezing problem. I bought an Abit KV8 pro mobo. I spent hours trying to fix this problem and the whole time it came down to my nf3 chipset and my 6800gt not being compatible. Way to go Nvidia;)

    XP-90 Worse than stock cooling?

    It definitely could be your mobo.

    BFG 6800 GT no luck overclocking

    I have the same card. Mine will only got to 385/1014 before it fails testing. O'h well, it's just luck of the draw.

    Low 3Dmark scores...argh!

    I see. Well anyways, like I said before the 3/21 (V. 5) killed all of my gfx scores. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem. As best as I could tell, the mobo was running my card in PCI mode. Once I switched to the 7/29 (V.2) bios, all my problems were fixed. edit: Except for the...
