Nah the video cards weren't fully seated. It took a lot of pressure and bending of the rear panel things to fit into the case slits... I got it all working now. Thanks tho!

I just got my A8N32-SLI Deluxe. I have the latest BIOS (1103). My RAM is OCZ EB 3700 (1 GB) that runs at 466 MHz. I go into the BIOS and set the FSB to 233 and the multiplier to 10.5 to keep my FX-53 around the correct clock setting it should be at. Then I set the Memclock Mode to limit and...

Ok I just figured it out what the beeps mean and it does mean no video card so I guess that is indeed my problem. Dammit :P

Ok I just tried to put togeather my new system and at POST, there is one long beep followed by three short beeps. I pulled the motherboard out of hte case and ran just the mobo, my CPU, memory, one video card, and power and I was able to get to the BIOS fine. So I know CPU, memory, vid card are...

I CAN spend any amount I want to (I mean I bought two friggin 7900 GTXs haha)... I'd prefer to keep it under $100, or $150. I'm looking at that Antec PSU and I'll look at some other good PSUs over the next couple days. If anyone has a specific recommendation, please feel free to post it here...

I wasn't planning on it, just clarifying that I only had one rail and was reading this correctly and making sure that the extra 100 dollars for a PSU was necessary. So yeah, I'll look into which new PSU to get soon. Thanks for your help.

The PSU I have here is http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/cases/Antec_TrueBlue_480W_1.html So I guess I don't have the 32Amps you say it requires. Nuts. Or does the PSU have two 12 volt rails, so it's fine?

I read that stickied post and it was filled with nothing definitive enough to say I should definitely get one now as opposed to wait and see. That's why I asked - I'm not being some toolbox who doesn't read the stikies. Anyway it sounds like I'll prolly need a 550W... I'll probably TRY it on...

I'm in the process of SLIing two GeForce 7900 GTX 512 MB cards togeather. I'm currently running an FX-53 (Socket 939) CPU, two SATA hard drives, one DVD drive off of an Antec TrueBlue 480W power supply. Is this enough power or am I going to have to up the PSU more? I'm hoping I won't need more...

Ok, so just to confirm (Because Toys 'R Us is 45 min away for me and I don't like the selection online) if I go to the B&M store I can get ANY two Xbox games (I was thinkin X-Men Legends and Fable) and get a 3rd game for free? I'm making sure it's not just specific games... Do I need to...

It seems when I play games that use 5.1 sound that the sound will sometimes cut out, such as in Doom 3. I then have to run the console command to restart the sound, and everything is fine. I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled the latest one. The sound also cut out when I was playing...

Well I have everything running default (FSB at 200 MHz, voltages are all auto) nad it hasn't locked up again. I had the DRAM voltage set to 2.8 but i changed it to Auto and no lock ups since. So, it should be ok right now, but I want to make sure. thanks!

My computer just started freezing a lot... not sure why. It froze a bunch when I used IE then I thought maybe it was an IE bug, so I played a game and it froze on that after a few minutes. I turned the RAM back to AUTO like it was, so I wonder if that was causing it. Any tips on what to look...

I turned the FSB up to 233 without changing anythign else and the computer wouldn't boot This system is fast enough right now that I think I may just leave the RAM running at DDR400 for now and later in the system's life when it actually NEEDS the speed boost, I'll ramp it up. Thansk for your...

I think you have it backwards... 2:1 is the memory running twice as fast as the front side bus speed. At least according to my BIOS it is. I've been running it 2:1 for about 24 hours and my computer has locked up once, and I honestly don't think it's because of that. I've played games for a...
