    I think I have a dead PSU, help me diagnose it!

    I will stick with the ULTRA, the modular cable setup was one of the best things Ive experienced yet, but I have researched thru and thru since this has happened and have never even heard of an ULTRA go bad! I think if the next PSU is going to go out, its not going to be the PSU's fault.. I will...

    Yea... everything turns on fine with the PowerLab 450W. :( :( :( :( :( My $130 award-winning PSU is junk after a few days of use. I wonder if the computer is destroying my PSU.

    I think I have a dead PSU, help me diagnose it!

    If I remove my PSU and disconnect everything then plug it into my outlet and turn it on, will it power up ? I am just curious to know if this is bad or not, I am tempted to try it but am not too sure on what, if any, consequences are there.

    Please help me with my video problem

    Your 71.25 drivers are WHQL but I wouldn't rely on that. Different systems react differently to some drivers.. Revert to 66.93 and see how it goes. You may see an improvement. ALthough I am using 71.80 for my 6800GT and get good FPS and 11,500 in 3dmark03 (AMD64 3000+, 512mb DDR266 (temporary...

    I think I have a dead PSU, help me diagnose it!

    I just bought this 500W Ultra X-Connect PSU from xoxide.com a week ago or so. It's only seen about 20 hours of runtime so far and the voltages were pretty dead on so I was very happy with the rails' performances. So this morning I go to play some AAO, and the thing isn't on like I left it. I...

    ASUS K8V-Deluxe sk939 NO VIDEO on first ever boot!

    Yeah. This is pretty ridiculous! I just tried two 256MB PC2100 DDR CL 2.5 sticks in DIMM 1 and 3 and it has video! Comes to "no bios" and then basically it is an empty BIOS. Hmmm. So nobody ever told me I needed TWO sticks of memory to even BOOT this thing??? Why.

    ASUS K8V-Deluxe sk939 NO VIDEO on first ever boot!

    It POSTs obviously :) Since it says System failure due to CPU overclocking. I have removed the CMOS battery, reset the RCT (or whatever) jumper and it is *supposed* to return to normal default values to avoid the overclocking, but it doesn't! Same error over and over. Tomorrow, I will...
