    Best CPU&Mobo for $250ish

    personally, I was thinking an intel CPU and a gigabyte Mobo. I was thinking I might try to push my budget for the cpu/mobo to 300, and get a q9550

    gpu heating up

    so, I got a new monitor for my parents computer so they can run dual screens. The new monitor runs at 1680x1050 resolution, and the previous one runs at 1024x768 (or maybe 1280x768) Anyways, after I set it up I noticed the screen began to flick and what not. I felt the graphics card heatsink...

    new $500 build, I want suggestions!

    ok Guys, I have a friend making a new build, and he asked me to post for him. Basically he's looking to spend ~$450 or so on the parts listed below, minus the case (he already has the case). So hopefully for the new list, the total should be around $450 (this shouldn't include case of price)...

    3rd motherboard, usb/ps2 stoped working AGAIN

    jkresh - I've tried other random input devices, and nothing will come on now. At the time of the issues, I only had a mouse and keyboard plugged in. I haven't even tried plugging in other types of devices yet, since it hasn't been on long enough. Also, it seems like the issue happens only on a...

    3rd motherboard, usb/ps2 stoped working AGAIN

    I finally put together another system (a very cheap one I put together as a spare) and am having an issue with it and can't figure out what the problem is. I cant seem to get any of the inputs working. I've tried connected multiple keyboards and mices, through BOTH USB and PS/2, but nothing...

    ps2/usb stopped working

    0roo0roo I don't think it's a software issue, because as I said before, I can't even get bios (way before the OS begins to load). The keyboard NEVER lights up, same for the mouse etc. Also, I've tried unplugging the HD and CD drive entirely, and still the same issue. I'm fairly certain it's...

    ps2/usb stopped working

    i cant even get to the windows device manager, because I can't control any keyboard/mouse to get there lol. Also, to top it off, I just reset the CMOS, and so now I can't boot windows, since the POST screen requires me to go into bios and set the time. BUT I can't boot into bios because I...

    inputs not booting

    I finally put together another system (a very cheap one I put together as a spare) and am having an issue with it and can't figure out what the problem is. I was having issues getting it to post to the screen, but finally figured it out (one of the screws that the mobo screws into was...

    new system, nothing on screen

    Jack - it wasn't set on clear. I messed with it a little more, and also just realized I actually have onboard vga!! I connected the monitor to it, and still same problem. My case does have a speaker in it, and I wasn't sure where to connect it. I tried connecting it to the analog audio, but...
