wait, i just got a dvd to play. im gonna try to burn something now

The nfroce4 chipset drivers are ****** or something? DVD won't read, i have a copy of Nero and the lightscribe program i got from LGs website.

I have a GSA-4166 B lightscribe. MY drive can burn lightscribe images and read an audio cd. I cannot read a Cd-rom or burn any data to media in this drive. I have troubleshooted my ide modes , cables and plugs. Anyone with similar problems or the needed software? Any help is well appreciated.

I recently installed a Sunbeam NUUO 550 in my rig and had some problems with the 6 pin PCI-e connector. This is a modular PSU and there is a 6pin to 6pin connection that I hooked up to my 6800 gt. That end of the card began to overheat and my graphics intensive applications would not run very...

srry for the double post

Just wondering if the the heatsink gets in the way of the RAM or if it extends past the board. THanks

So if I have a metal backing plate I should be ok on the stress on the MOBO? Would this come with the heatsink theoretically?

Hey, I am trying to clarify the reasoning for Zalman to make most of their parts in either all copper, copper and aluminum or all aluminum. I understand that copper is a better conducter while aluminum is lighter but are either of these enough to affect performance, stress on a vertical...

I am looking for a quality modular power supply to effectively power my rig + overclocking + an eventual 2nd video card and a dvd burner. Thanks

will having 2 different types of ram affect an overclock. to me it seems like the weakest link in the chain determines the strength.

I am curious why the 2x512 combination of ram is more common. I am looking into upgrading RAM, i have 4 dimms and 4 GB max ram. I would like to put in 2x102 ocz platinum but the timings on the rev 2 512 chips are a little better (2-3-2-5, to 2-2-2-5). Is this something that will affect an...

I can't believe I just got a version of Windows for $12. That just made my day. I have 2 versions of 64 bit linux in the mail as well. I know the drivers and software are lagging but I am exited.

I have installed x64 XP beta onto a seperate hard drive & can't get it to boot from that hard drive. My friends who have linux dual boots use an old version of system commander to have boot options. Are there any reasonably priced or free boot managers that will allow me to choose which OS to...

Theres a heatsink and fan that came with the card. It Keeps the card at reasonable temps even at load. (80 C max). Or at least i thought that was reasonable.
