jhites: Nice! I was able to get back into the BIOS using the INSERT key trick. Whew, you saved me on that one. After getting the POST it gave me an error about "over-clocking failed". Funny, I only specified the timings given by Kingston for this particular Dual-Kit! Oh well, at least the...

computer, Well, this is it. I relaxed the timings on the Kingston HyperX DDR400 even further and now I don't even get a POST. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have this replaced RMA. I mean seriously. Now the CPU won't even power down (but the reset button does work). Isn't that a little...

computer, I've tried all of these things! Ahhh, this is racking my brain. Maybe I should further investigate the memory timing issue but I did manually time them at 2-4-4-8, and even 3-4-4-8. Also, the power supply is a Thermaltake 480W. By "choked", how do you mean? Should I space out the...

mechBgon: I do have the PSU connected to the video card. :( I don't have any other optical drives to work with, but I did try removing one and then the other to see if that had any affect. Of course it didn't though...Thanks, mechBgon. I've tried everything and I think it's RMA-time.

Well, here's my update: Of the list of changes to make and possible problem components gathered on this message board and others, here is what I have done: Removed all PCI cards (SB Audigy, for example). Disabled FireWire controller in BIOS. Removed IDE hard drive and SATA hard drive. Put...

mechBgon: Wow, thank you for the great response. It's rather late right now (and I'm sick, darn sinus infection), but tomorrow in the AM I'll be trying out your suggestions. Thanks for the best, by far, suggestions I have gotten thus far from anyone (including other websites and knowleadgable...

Hey everyone, Though I would chime into this specific forum for my motherboard, please help!!!! First, here are the detailed specs: Intel P4 2.8C (retail) ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard Thermaltake 480W SilentPower Aspire X-Dreamer II Case (512x2)MB of DDR4 Kingston HyperX in Dual-Channel...

Hey everyone, I'm somewhat of a newbie to these forums but not to building PCs. I can't get past one single technical issue regarding a new rig I have put together... First, here are the detailed specs: Intel P4 2.8C (retail) ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard Thermaltake 480W SilentPower Aspire...

Thanks for your advice, Jeff...as well as to the others in this thread. I purchased the Asus V8420S from Newegg. I know I'll be happy with this choice just from the public reviews...

Thanks for the reply... Do you think an video upgrade is a good idea for me at this point? Here are the relevant (i.e., excluding crap like CD-Rs and so on) my specs, including current video card: Intel P4 2.26 GHZ Audigy 2 GeForce 3 Ti 200 with DVI 19 in. Trinitron monitor 512MB RAMBUS At...

Hey guys...just was catching up on this discussion. What games are going to use/require DX9 in the near future? Doom3? Half-Life 2?? And let me get something straight...if a card, such as the NVIDIA Ti4200, doesn't support DX9, does that mean it will not run a DX9 game at all...or just at a...

Do you guys think prices on lesser (lesser than 5900 Ultra, I mean) models will decrease after its retail introduction?

Well, so I'm shopping online (I like newegg.com) for a new video card. I'm interested in something semi-budget, such as the GFX 5600 Ultra. From reading Anandtech's excellent article, it appears NVIDIA has just released the updated NV31 chip for GFX 5600 cards. But, the question is, how will...
