    MSI P67A-GD65 Faint popping sound...

    Is there anyway I can have sound in safe mode to test if it could be cause by a background program? Also after reading your last post the 2nd or 3rd time through I realized I don't even recall if there was a problem before I added the 2nd hdd. When I added the 2nd hdd I do remember changing the...

    MSI P67A-GD65 Faint popping sound...

    Anything I can do with these spare parts?

    Anything I can do with these spare parts?

    I looked on ebay for a new/used video card on ebay, all VERY expensive (It would prolly have to be under $200 for it to be worth it at this point). I was just searching by video card type, how would searching by part number be different?
