    Question PC crashing when approaching/exceeding 50% ram usage

    Sadly I've tried this already, same result. No overclock on the RAM, BIOS is fully updated. Thanks I will give both of these a try. Thanks, I'll keep trying :) for now it's just kind of working until I approach the limit and then quickly closing everything when it starts to lag.

    First AMD system in 8 years.....

    My mistake, didn't see the 2.0 after the truepower. You can also get aftermarket VGA heatsinks for a lot of cards out there if you can't find a fanless one that you like: zalman zm80d thermaltake cl-g0003 be quiet! polar freezer (depending on where you live) I ended up doing this...

    anybody use an ax8 with samsung ram?

    I've decided that I want this board because of the space it gives everything, and the passive NB heatsink. No oc'ing, no crazy stuff, just a home PC. I've heard it's anal with RAM, but would like to know if anybody uses it with Samsung RAM.

    Have you considered going for the antec smartpower power supply, they are the newer version of the truepower (and are apparently quieter).

    sapphire x600xt

    Um, I don't play any games, so those cards are a bit too much for me, just looking for something to handle 3d modelling.

    sapphire x600xt

    I'm planning on putting the thermaltake g0003 heatsink on this card, but I need to know if it has mounting holes on the PCB. I'm only going to purchase the card if it does, does anybody know for sure?

    Asus a8n-e..

    Anybody happen to have this installed on this board: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/...em-details.asp?EdpNo=1104405&CatId=498 and if you do, would the zalman passive NB cooler fit with it?

    Asus a8n-e..

    Thanks, I've actually reconsidered some things, but am still not sure about the space issue. I'm thinking about going with the Zalman 7000B heatsink/fan combo, it looks to be good for my needs and I'm positive that the ram will fit. I also prefer they way the fan works. I'm also going...

    Asus a8n-e..

    Hi there, first post, just bought this mobo, and love it (well, at least when it's in the box). I have a question before I buy some additional parts though. Will 4 sticks of ram even fit on this boards with either of the Arctic Cooling 64 Silencer TC or the Arctic Cooling 64 Freezer? Which...
