    Brand New Computer Randomly Shuts Off

    I don't have an internal PC speaker, not sure why it didn't come with one. Not sure if a store in town carries any of em, lol.

    Brand New Computer Randomly Shuts Off

    I just removed one stick of RAM. When I restarted the computer, all phase LED lights were on, and the computer stayed on for quite some time, although there was no video this time. The monitor didn't show the usual mobo logo or anything, but the computer did stay on and didn't shut off like...

    Brand New Computer Randomly Shuts Off

    Grrr, I don't understand. When I push tab to go into the POST it shows no IDE Master or Slaves. When the computer shuts itself down, it shows all the IDE master/slaves as none. When the computer goes through with the booting up, and doesn't shut down, it only shows 7 to 9 I think. Not sure if...

    Brand New Computer Randomly Shuts Off

    Reseated every connection, but the problem is still happening. It's very consistent with every other restart. The computer ran all night last night with no overheating, no problems whatsoever, but when I restarted, it dies. Here's exactly what happens: 1) Computer turns on, shows motherboard...

    Brand New Computer Randomly Shuts Off

    I just completed a new build for my computer, and the only issue now is that every other time the computer is turned on, it randomly shuts off when trying to load the OS. This is prior to installing the OS, just when it starts to look for it, it shuts down. I am installing Windows 7 now, and...

    Moderator Approval

    I tried looking for a thread to explain how long moderation approval for each post you make takes, and I can't seem to find any information on that. After every reply or post I make (maybe it's because I'm new) I have to get it approved by a moderator. Will this go away, or does everyone go...

    New to BIOS set-ups

    I'm getting a GA-P55A-UD3 Motherboard, and it's my first build. I would like to know if there's anything special I should do as far as setting up the BIOS, or will the manual tell me everything I need to know? Thanks, Shiboopi

    Thanks a lot for all of your help guys. What I've decided: Swap the HAF 922 case for the Antec 300 Grabbed the combo deal from Axon's post. 4GB dual channel ram (from the link you posted Axon) - The ram is compatible right? I know it says 1333Mhz supported on the mobo, the ram says it's only...

    Wow, thanks for all the info! Definitely helped me decide! Funny thing is, I've never even heard of microcenter, glad you guys told me about it, lol. I read a review on the best 15 Cases (I think from TomsHardware) and the Antec 300 was the first in terms of keeping cool and stuff, so I...

    Budget gaming rig. I feel like I'll be paying too much.

    How's this: i5-760 P55 LE Motherboard Corsair 4GB - PC12800 RAM, DDR3, 1600mHz, Core i5, Dual Channel, Class 9 RAM - Figured the triple channel would be a waste, so dual channel. I read that the CPU fan on the i5 isn't very good, so should I get a better CPU fan?

    I would still like to be able to play (WoW, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, and the like...) on highest settings with high fps. Would the quoted suggestions still be able to perform at that level? I know Diablo 3 isn't out, but just curious as to the other testable options. I appreciate your...

    Budget gaming rig. I feel like I'll be paying too much.

    Hi there, I'm a first time builder, but would like to get a gaming setup that of course is upgradeable, compatible, and not overdoing it. Here's what I've come up with, but I feel as though I may be overdoing it for what I'm looking for, and most is from Tiger Direct: Cooler Master HAF 922M...
