Agree with the new format request. However, this is a copy and paste, should be enough info. Old video card replacement question: I have the ATI Radeon HD 3800 series card, which causes all sorts of shutdown problems on my Win7 machine and driver errors. I’m done trying different drivers, as...

:thumbsdown: Year old Gigabyte EP35-DS3R died (refurbished, so 30 day warranty). Replaced with EVGA NForce 750i SLI FTW A1 series. Now, puter runs much faster, but about 18 degrees centigrade hotter, per Core Temp and Speed Fan. Now at 49 degrees, system is at 121 degrees. Any reasons this...

I've used good generics for 2 different Brother copiers, both B & W. All were good enough. The best is to find a good site to buy from, and if price is right, don't shop all over the place in the future. Stay with one known supplier, as it's easy to manufacture really poor quality toner...

I've had a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P that is now bad. I've had it 2.5 months, so the Egg won't replace and don't even list that mobo anymore. Worked great for a short time, and I liked all the USB ports. Gigabyte now wants me to send them the original mobo back, wait for them to diddle around, and...

I think you know that this is the exactly same processor as the E8400. Therefore, whatever works for that will work for the Xeon. All P35 and 38 mobo's should work fine. Don't know about others.

My whole premise for a new rig was this fantastic cpu. Well stocked for a month or two by the big boys, and now you cannot even preorder it. I have checked on 2 sites that I want to be notified if there's any word of them. For the life of me, I can't think of a more approprate cpu. (Running...

From what I've read, you can install XP SP (OEM) on a new build, and from setup screens you can do a full install, Choose NTFS Format for entire drive and then partition an OS drive at 20-30gbs. If this isn't all MS BS. is it reliable if followed correctly. I would link that all MS updated for...

I'm preparing my list for a new 'puter to build in a couple of months. I've researched a lot about straight SATA cable and staight to angled, both left and right angles, plus the angled to angled. And does the angled work best for the HDD connection, or for the mobo. For a Gigabyte P35 or X38...

Here's my current list for a new puter. I know I won't get to it for a few months, so some items will change (looking for Samsung Spinpoint HD322HJ's when they get to America. Also new video cards arriving soon. SO, my main concerns are with the case, Psu, Mobo, Memory and optical discs. Will...

Yes, the mobo has sound, but I'm not sure if onboard will do justice to my Klipsch 4.1's.

:confused: Need new 'puter asap. Here's my full list. Please don't hesitate to comment with suggestions. I am not a gamer or an overclocker, tho I may get into some older games, like Madden/Nascar to see if this old geezer (61) is up to it. Tough to fill all this retirement time! [ Update...

All good suggestions, HOO. Will check those all out on newegg. btw, my original problem above was that when I shorted out the fan wire on the case, the UPS automatically shut down! Never thought of that on. Doubt I'll do that twice! Thanks
