I just realized I have the NeoPower 480, not the 430... I should be good then. Does it matter what goes on what rail? I never pay any attention when I'm connecting my components to my PSU, but it seems to work...

Right now I have an Antec NeoPower 480 (NOT 430) MB GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L 775 G31 INTEL E5200 2.5G 2M 2Gx2 GSK F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ NVIDIA BFG 6800 GT OC 2xSATA HDDs DVDRW/CDRW IDE Drive Floppy 2xCase Fans Do I need a different PSU to run the Radeon 4870? Thanks in...

So here's what I have so far: Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811129042 G.SKILL HK 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBHK - Retail...

I've come to you guys because all of you know this stuff really well. Thanks in advance. So I'm trying to help my brother build a computer. His budget is $1500 including monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers. I've already got the speakers figured out and the mouse and keyboard is easy, but the...

Hey guys, I've been getting a lot of random restarts lately. I don't overclock. I'll be using my computer, whether it be browsing the internet or whatever, and then all of the sudden, my computer will just restart. So finally I got so sick and tired of these random restarts that I decided to...

Thanks for all the help guys. The games I would be playing would be games like: Half-Life 2 (yes, I know it's not that much of a graphics hog, but it would be nice to be able to run it smoothly on high), Oblivion, Crysis, and new games that I can't think of. One of my sticks of RAM just went...

It varies per game, but I think I do play at 1280x1024 on some of my games. My monitor has the ability to go to 1600x1200 though. I was thinking about buying a new LCD anyways so I can use it for my PC and TV, but if there is a problem with the resolution then I guess I won't.

Thanks. Any specific recommendations on what 320mb 8800 series card I should look at buying?

Thanks for all the help guys. A few questions though -- will I notice a big difference if I upgrade from 1 gig of RAM to 2 gigs? If I get an 8800 series card will I need to upgrade my power supply and what 320mb card would you recommend?

I've been contemplating on whether or not to upgrade my PC which is about 3 years old now. I haven't really been following the new parts that have been coming out since then so I'm asking you guys for some help because I think you guys are the best guys to ask. My current system is this...

I will try this later today. Again, thanks for the help. Could it be the hard drive maybe? It seems like this sort of thing has happend before with my hard drive with Windows on it. I don't know though.

When I try to transfer anything to any hard drive it will blue screen after about a minute. I reflashed the BIOS and it still blue screens when transferring. I unplugged everything except for my keyboard and mouse and it still blue screens when transferring. It seems like some sort of RAM...

Thanks for the help. I found the program similar to Windows Explorer. When I begin to copy files from my hard drive over to my external hard drive, it will copy for about a minute, but then it will just blue screen on me. This is the error message I get: "A problem has been detected and...

I did a CHKDSK using Bart PE and it fixed something, but it didn't fix my problem. It still BSODs right before the Windows XP loading screen. I hooked my external hard drive up, but now I'm confused on how to copy files within Bart PE. Can someone tell me how I would go about this?
