    NRA invests millions in schools....for shooting sports

    We need all the Hollywod money we can get for these causes. They're up against Koch brothers levels of money. Having money behind something doesn't invalidate the movement now does it.

    S3 option missing in BIOS, bad board?

    This is a Biostar G31D-M7 The board is fully working, however It does not sleep properly (STR i.e. S3). I went into BIOS, and there is no option to specify the kind of sleep. According to the manual, it should be there, right under Power Configuration, but it is not. It is simply missing...

    Non-stop crashing after CPU upgrade

    Well, I'm dual booting, and the issue was definitely a hardware one =P I was able to update bios, no luck. I guess the board doesn't like the wolfdale cpu.

    Non-stop crashing after CPU upgrade

    So I have a DFI P965-S motherboard that's been running an E2140. I bought an E8400, in hopes of a substantial performance upgrade. I know this is a much newer cpu, so I checked that the board supported it. According to the DFI site, the 2nd to newest BIOS supports the cpu, the newest...

    Vista: Display Driver has recovered.

    Just to update: I've reverted to XP and couldn't be happier. As I suspected, it was a Vista/Card/Driver Issue. My overclock never changed any results, no matter how low or high I would adjust it. It felt pointless to mess with stability software when other games behaved properly. Note: The...

    Help with P965-S, How do I get 1:1?

    He was suggesting that I restart after setting the strap. Implying that the settings are probably not applied until then. What I'm saying is that this does not appear to be true, or at least not consistent. I of course would restart after changing any setting and the system still did not...

    Help with P965-S, How do I get 1:1?

    I did try that. No 1:1 until several days later, i.e. several restarts later.

    Help with P965-S, How do I get 1:1?

    So I decided to go into Bios today, and sure enough it was now running 1:1, so I oc'ed just as I wanted =D. Maybe it's not applying some settings immediately? dunno...

    Help with P965-S, How do I get 1:1?

    Yeah, everywhere I read says to set NB Strap to 266, and then I'd be able to do 1:1, but I still don't. Should I try another NB Strap, like 200? Other than this, I can configure DRAM Speed (533/667/800). Setting it to 533 allows highest OC and closest to 1:1. Also the FSB of course. The...

    Help with P965-S, How do I get 1:1?

    So I have the DFI P-965-S Dark, and I'm trying to overclock an e2140. All the guides I've read state that all you have to do on this board is set NB Strap to 266 and set Ram to 533, resulting in 1:1, but this simply isn't the case for me. @Currently, ram is running at 800, and fsb is only set...

    Vista: Display Driver has recovered.

    Its the exact same parts. Not the same models, but there are his parts that he sold to me. I do consider an e2140 running at 2.1Ghz (Which at the time had no choice) a very conservative overclock.

    Vista: Display Driver has recovered.

    When I first got it, the cpu was running @ 2.1 Ghz, up from the stock 1.6. This was only because the lowest fsb I could set in the bios at the time was 266. So then, 2.1Ghz was the lowest I could go. TBH, I haven't tried it @ 1.6 after updating to the latest bios. I got these parts from another...

    Vista: Display Driver has recovered.

    It's a new build. I think it's either the card itself, or driver issue. The build is rock solid, except for this huge flaw. Cpu is overclocked, and gave it, and the ram a bit of a bump on voltage for stability. It is only in-game that the display driver craps out, and my screen goes blank for...

    HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.7

    Quick question: I'm trying to set my ratio 1:1. FSB is @ 266, and I set my ram to DDR2 533 speeds. Wouldn't that do it? According to Everest it's @ 4:3, I must be missing something... edit: Ok just figured out that I can't set the ratio on the p965-s =/
