    3500+ Venice OCing

    Hi folks, I'm a noob @ overclocking, the closest I did to this was using the auto overclock in the ASUS mobo with P4. Anyway, I got a new system with the intention of overclocking. The system is in the bottom of this message. I read alot about it, and then I went to the DFI Bios...

    Bad memory? PC restarting with ballistix

    Hi, I disable windows bootup when system erros occur, so I found out I was getting a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 4E error. So I disabled external cache as suggested and everything worked wonders. But since I needed the external cache, I removed one of the memory modules and enabled it again...

    GF6800GT not playing video files properly...

    Got the K-lite codec pack 2.27 (i was running 2.50), and now the Indeo has been properly installed and finally my porn is good on the screen again :-) Thanks for the attention, maybe you guys should try this too if video problems occur.

    GF6800GT not playing video files properly...

    OMG, I tested the other XFX GF6800GT I have here, exactly the same as this but never touched, and it wouldn't play videos neither! So the easy answer is gone, gladly. Anyway, my WMP is asking for the Indeo codec, even though it plays all video files as I have already installed a codec pack...

    GF6800GT not playing video files properly...

    Hi, I had temperature issues with my XFX Geforce 6800GT, so I removed the heatsink, applied thermal paste in a very brutal way and reseated the heatsink. The temperatures got a little down, and my games work fine, and my desktop looks fine. But when I try to play video files, the image...

    RAM Temperatures...

    Hi folks, My system is full of problems, I first thought it was the VGA cooler not running properly, but after trying everything and sending it out to a technician, he reported everything was OK except for RAM temperatures, which are over 50 C. I have a pair of Crucial Ballistix 512x2 DDR...

    GT6800 PCI-E system restarting, why?

    keysplayr2003, I'll try that right now, will post the results later on. BTW, I applied some thermal paste on my VGA and reseated the heatsink, nothing improved. And I have two of the same card, so I tested both and both report high temps. About my Enermax, the 12v is rated at 1.5A/33A...
