Hey guys, I need some input. Recently I upgraded some things in my rig. The only things that were changed was the CPU (from E8400 to Q9550), Ram, and video card (from gtx 260 to gtx 275). I know they aren't really much of an upgrade but I got a decent deal on the parts. The problem is, after...

I'm on a corsair 750TX. I should be ok in terms of power. Could northbridge stability have been a factor when we discuss failing with prime + furmark but not alone? I don't know if running them both at the same time stresses the NB out more, but I imagine it does.

Sorry, I don't want to nitpick, but some of my questions from last post were still not answered. I still want to know how long you usually run furmark/OCCT for and what OCCT tests you run. To be fair I've already passed the 3dmark/24hoursprime/furmark tests on the prior settings yet I still...

Ok thanks. I know everyone has their own preferences, but how long do you normally run prime, furmark, and occt before you consider them "stable". OCCT has a lot of stress tests as you already now, when you mentioned that were you talking about being stable in everyone of those tests...

Yeah, I agree with you mjinz. I turned up the heat and ran prime 95 with furmark and it locked up similarly to how it does in game. I'm guessing my northbridge wasn't perfectly stable. It was already at 1.59v which is very high, so what I did was just clock my cpu down lower and bring the nb...

The heatsink is fine. Furmark/gpuz only show 85c on full load. What I want to know is whether or not the lock up is associated with the gpu or if it could be any other components. Considering 24hours stable on prime, I assume everything with my system should be totally stable. Of course this...

Hey all, recently I upgraded a couple things in my pc. I've got my q9550 at 4ghz which have passed 12 hour, 24 hour, and 15hour blended tests in a row. Just recently I opened up my gtx 275 which I got from a friend to put my own thermal paste on it and ever since then I've been seeing hard...

I believe it's some kind of incompatibility with nvidia drivers + quad core. Go to the settings.ini and change direct x version to 9. Temporary fix for the beta.

It performs better outside of action, but during fights my FPS is still around the 30's. Anything under high 40's is super irritating to me. Before the patch, quads were getting a 2:1 performance increase over the duals. I'm not sure what it's like now but I still hear there;s a solid...

Hi happy medium. I don't post here much but I saw your reply and wanted to ask you personally how big of an increase in performance you saw from an e8400 to q9550. I'm on an e8400 @3.82 and I will be getting my q9550 monday. Hoping to be able to hit 4ghz on it. Before Patch: DX10 -...

yeah, i had installed a speaker on my motherboard from my old case. Right now i definitely think its either psu or motherboard. I guess I could just rma both?

thanks for the response guys, but my main question is this. I had tried booting the pc up without any ram in and still didn't get any error/beep codes. Don't most motherboards produce some type of noise in that scenario?

Now that I'm more composed I will retype out my situation. I have an E8400 Duo core, an Asus p5q pro motherboard, an Asus HD4850 Radeon Video card, and 2 sticks of 2gb corsair memory. My computer has been running perfectly fine for 2 days. I've mostly been stress testing both cpu and...
