    HELP: PC not booting & keeps turning on & off

    It's not like he stole it or something, every employee can get a defective chip every year. So I think Intel doesn't care if he gave it to me. But yeah, just to be safe, I removed the picture and serial number.

    HELP: PC not booting & keeps turning on & off

    I'm not familiar with adjusting the voltage. I can't even go into the BIOS. It turns on & off w/o showing anything on screen.

    Urgent: Need help on my Vid card.

    There is no separate power connector. Yes I cleaned the previous driver using ccleaner. Maybe I set it up wrong (under windows)?

    Urgent: Need help on my Vid card.

    All of my parts are brand new. I already tried it on my other rig (OS:XP) and the problem still not solved. I'm pretty sure it's the graphic card. Should I request RMA to Diamond?

    Urgent: Need help on my Vid card.

    I haven't tried on gaming. I would assume it would do the same. There is no power save mode or something like that on the Vid card setting. Any idea?

    Question about barcelona mobo

    This is kind of dumb question. I'm looking for a mobo for barcelona chipset. But I can't find it in newegg. Are they using different name? Also, do you guys recommend to buy barcelona now? (from performance or cost standpoint). If someone can help me I'd relly appreciate it.

    Underload temp

    Last month, I had a problem with the overheating vidcard, it reached 89C while working underload. I've managed to lower it down to 52C at underload. Is it still too hot? How can I lower it more if it's possible? I've installed Zalman VF700-cu on the vidcard.

    Need help on Green pixels blinking while playing games

    I installed rivatuner and check the fan perfomance. They are working 100% for every category. I guess I need to see if the dust has covered up the fan. But I don't think it'd be that bad because I cleaned the entire case like a month ago.
