    Need some replacement advice...

    Hey all, I'd appreciate some suggestions. My 8800 GTS just died and I need a replacement rather quickly. That means I don't really have the option of waiting for nvidia's new offerings in a few months, and ATI's new offerings are out of my price range, which is about $175 give or take a few...

    help with GA-P35-ds3r

    quick update... Aparently, one of my ram modules is bad. Booting with just one stick, I no longer get the continuous beeping before the reset. Now I don't get any beeps and it's not booting to anything either. All the fans are on, I can hear the hard drive chattering, and the vid card...

    System Not Booting... 3 short beeps and a reset.

    Thank you for that help, that actually did resolve the continuous beeping issue. It looks like one stick is bad.... which sucks, but I can deal with that. :) I'm still having another problem now though. The system still isn't posting or producing any image on the monitor. It turns on, I...

    Question on overclocking 8800GTS...

    Using an EVGA 880GTS 640 superclocked with the latest drivers and nTune from the Nvidia website. Through nTune I change the clock speeds for the core and memory to 620/1100. Click apply, and even save the profile. This runs stable through all benchmarks and torture testing. The problem I...

    EVGA 8800GTS 640 Superclocked...

    +5V = 28.0A +3.3V = 30.0A +12V1 = 16.0A +12V2 = 17.0A -12V = 0.3A +5Vsb = 3.0A That's off the side of the unit. Thanks, Rshick

    Changing motherboard and chip

    This may be a stupid question, but I'm really curious about this. If I were to go from a Asus p4c800-E Delux mobo with a P4 2.8Ghz to an AMD mobo and chip; with all else staying the same (as in reusing memory, hardrives, vid card, DVD/CD, etc....); would I need to format my HD and reinstall...

    Fearing the worst.....

    I have a problem..... Power in my house went out sometime in the middle of the night. I usually leave my system on throughout the night, so it was shut off when the power went out. After the power came back on, I went to boot up the system, but it's not posting. It starts to boot, as...
