    o'ced 2500, restarts at windows load

    Hey guys, i am able to run my 2500 at 3200 but whenever i try to load up windows, it restarts???!! i'm sure it's not a problem with temperature. i'm thinking it could be the PSU? i got an antec 300w. i got corsair xms3200 so it's not the ram. everything loads up fine until the windows load...

    new mobo and cpu purchase, last a year?

    I am planning to upgrade from a 1.4 Tbird to the 2500+ barton with the a7n8x. i am using an antec 300w psu. i was wondering if that psu would be enough to power the new system? i won't be doing any hardcore OCing. also, would it be wise to buy now? or wait till next month? thanks for the help!

    Suggestions for a sound card for z560s?

    I am deciding whether i should get the Fortissimo III, Audigy 2, or the Audigy 1 for my z560s? I'm mainly into DVDs and listening to mp3s. Gaming isn't a really big deal, just CS and war3. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks does the TBSC have just as good DVD decoding as...
