I tried taking out all the ram but it still does the same thing. Turns on for litterally maybe half a second. Fan Lights all turn on. But then dies. Doesn't even give the chance for the hard drives to turn on. I'm using a cheap 420W Apower power supply i bought about 2 years ago. Could...

I overclocked my core 2 duo to what i thought was conservative. I had my E6300 at 2.73ghz and coretemp was showing about 41-44 degrees C under load using an ASUS silent square for cooling. It ran fine for the past several days. But all of the sudden the entire computer just shuts off on me...

Ok Nevermind i figured it out. Tab and esc don't work on my bios. But unplugging the keyboard does. ;-) Anyways, even though my mother board isn't dual channel. You can't run two identical stick next to each other.They have to be a space apart. Or the motherboard recognizes it as one or...

I just got 2 512 mb sticks of corsair value select. My motherboard isn't dual channel. My bios doesn't boot up and show me how much ram i have. But Windows and CPUZ both show as having 512mb of ram only. The total should be 1024. But cpuz shows that i have 2 identical sticks. What is up...

I have a soyo dragon MB. The manual says it has a support voltage of 2.5v. Most ram i see says 2.6v like mushkin and the ram i want(geil) says 2.55v-2.95v. I found some corsair that says 2.5v. Will all or some of these chips work? I would like the geil, but if i have to go with the corsair...

nevermind i think 1472 should work.

What should i set my MTU to. I notice it's at the default 1500 now but sometimes i have to enable or disable it to get some websites to work.

i installed my windows xp sp2 clean install no problem after i built a new computer. The only thing extra you have to do is hold down f6 when it asks for raid drivers. You have to make those drivers onto a floppy disc before you install. So make that with your old windows setup and then take...

My friend locked himself out of windows and the password on the welcome screen isn't correct. So now he can't get in. I have an array of boot cd's windows cd, and linux cd's. How can i get in and change his password back? I've already tried safe mode and administrator. It didn't work?

antecs are probably one of the best.

i couldn't find my stopwatch but it took about 20 mississipi from the time it exited bios and my had drive light came on till i saw my windows xp splash screen.
