At this point I can only confirm that I am having an identical problem with a Dell 6400 was delivered with Vista and then had XP installed on it. I did not use any boot loader, I just put XP right on it. I can confirm that it happens the second it tries to go into standby and that the error is...

Okay, I have researched more based on suggestions I have heard here and read in several forums. I am thinking of going with the Asus P5B deluxe board for my E6600 rig. Still searching for the best memory for this. Prices are so high right now I am in shock, but good memory is soo important. SO...

Which RAM?

I appreciate that warning and I would never overclock another person's business machine. However, I've run sensibly overclocked CPU's starting way back with the Celeron 300a, and these machines have been as stable as any I've been on. The AMD 3800 X2 box I'm using now is overclocked by 20% and...

This will be my main machine and I compress a lot of video to MPEG2 and MPEG4. I am not a gamer at all. I WILL be overclocking on air only. The machine must be stable, so I won't be trying to get the greatest overclock ever, just close to it. :) I have decided that the e6600 is the best chip...

What is the best thermal compound to get for my new heatsink, which will be a Big Typhoon or a XP-90?

Question: What is the best heatsink for a x2 3800+ mounted in a DFI Lanparty UT SLI-DR? I don't want one that sounds like a vacuum cleaner :) Thanks for the opinions...

I just installed MBM 5.3.7.0 on a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D. In High/Low I'm getting all zero values for all three temp sensors, for my fan sensors, and my minus 12v shows 0.64v and minus 5v readings are all zero. +5v shows 3.06v. I have been having some issues with my machine, but I suspect these...

I have the 24 pin ATX power hooked up (not just the 20 pins, my OCZ PS can be 20 or 24) I have the 4 pin +12v next to the ATX connector hooked up and I have the 5v/12v connector near the video card hooked up to. I wasn't sure if I should hook them all up, but I did and there was no smoke, this...

Yeah, I've tried every voltage from 2.6 to 3.2 and 2-2-2-6 timings at FSB 200 and 218. It always fails 95% of the way through memtest86+ test #5. Solid red. And that was even when I took out all but one 512 MB module. This is no fun. I can't even get it to run at its rated minimums. I wonder if...

Well, I've gotten the system to run one pair of OCZ modules at 218 MHz, DRAM 2.60 volts with 2-3-3-8 1T without errors in memtest86+, but I cannot get the fours sticks to run without getting memtest86+ test 5 errors at any speed. What is the ram divider you were speaking of, Stevty2889?

I am setting up a new computer system with the following parts: Cooler Master Wave Master Case OCZ Powerstream 520w DFI Lanparty Ultra-D MB AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Manchester CPU 4 512 MB OCZ PC-4000 Dual Channel Gold VX (total 2GB) XFX Gforce 6600GT Video Card 2 WD Raptor WD740GD SATA...

Thanks, It looks like I'll be using the X2 4600+ in my system. Now for the rest...

I am building a machine that will be primarily used to compress video, i.e. wmv, xvid, divx, mpeg2 formats. What is the best setup to get for speedy compression? I am considering a DFI nForce4 Ultra MB, 1 or 2 GB OCZ EL PC4000 VX Gold, Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Retail, XFX GeForce 6800GT 256-MB PCI...
