    Random unstability - help

    K, I have now tried to different graph cards. One 1mbyte VGA card anda creative geforce 2 gts. With the 1mb card the computer hangs when starting up windows, or rather fails ; a bluescreen pops up every time I try to start windows, safe mode or not. With the Geforce 2 GTS, the screen flimmers. I...

    Random unstability - help

    Anyhow, I'll be gettin another vid card to test late rthis week; perhaps tomorrow. The state of my computer seems to be degenerating too...it now takes 2 -4 tries to get the dang thing started correctly. What happens when it fails to start correctly is that the screen goes black when it's...

    Random unstability - help

    Hmm..I'm gonna try cleaning the vidcard leds with a little alcohol. My FSB is at 112, but these problems occur even when I run at normal FSB speed, so I don't think that is the issue. I don't know if I mentioned it in my previous posts, but some days my computer hangs spontaneously. Just shuts...

    *siigh*..I'm sorry for the late reply by the way, but since last I posted my computer has worked well...now the unstability-flux is back in full force though :) Safe mode seems to run fine, eventhough the res is 1024*768 with 32k colours...graphics are slow, but at least the system doesn't hang...

    Out the window, I say..well help!

    Ah, that might be it. I can't do anything 3d for more than 15 seconds, even when I remove my case cover and put my computer right beside my open window(when it's -4 and windy outside), and recently my harddrive has started working from time to time like it's trying to calculate the size of the...

    Arghh..here we go again.. :( I replaced the fan with a normally working one, and all was fine for three days. I played during those three days , too. Today though, the problems returned. I'm getting really wicked here 'cause I can't say what the problem is...I can say what the symptoms are...

    help with case color

    Just...make it pink? The important thing is that it isn't this grey color...can't imagine why so many designers of cases have been so afraid of breaking the trend...well.

    Concerning powersupply fan..

Will it explode all of a sudden because the pw is feeding it too much power or will it hold ? I...

    Out the window, I say..well help!

    Yeah..I admit I have thought about this myself...how can I check if my powersupply runs at full 'speed' ? I know my powersupply fan is severely clogged or something, becase most mornings when I start the computer it sounds like a dying tractor for about 40 minutes..whereafter it either stops...

    Update on my problem: Tried to install a scsi-controller card and a scsi-burner today..well, the burner wouldn't work (it caused windows to hang every time) so I removed it, but let the controller card be in the computer. So when I tried to start my computer I got screen corruption at once in...

    Out the window, I say..well help!

    I doubt it's my monitor..I don't remember having these problems with my voodoo3 .. :/ And I have only seen these glitches and lockups once ór twice in windows. I'd hate to think my kyro2 is defect..but what else? My powersupply and/or mobo gives it too little power ? I might go for a...
