Hopefully it will work for you. I swore my board was DOA but suprised and happy it wasnt. I also tried the clear cmos a couple of times before that but it didnt do anything at first so I did it according to the instructions of removing the power, removing battery and leaving the jumper set for 5...

I was having problems with my board with the mem led lighting up and also couldnt get anything to post on screen at all. I took it all apart and was going to send it back then read some people having issues. What worked for me was clearing the CMOS. I removed the power and switched the jumper...

Well I got it working. I cleared the CMOS which I read was working for people. It was a strange problem but I'm glad I didnt have to send back the board.

Hey guys, So I got my 2600k and Asus MB in yesterday put it all together and nothing happens. I get a solid red light next to MEM, no post no signal from video card at all. I've looked around and seems like others are having some issues. Ive tried removing one of the sticks of ram and...

Already ordered! Got the OK from Newegg to return and I ordered the 2600K. Should be here tomorrow.

Yea I was able to return my open CPU to newegg with a little help and pushing by the rep. Otherwise I wouldnt have ordered the 2600k and motherboard. Your right about factoring the hassle though but I dont really mind.

I think I am stupid :) Well actually I'm returning my i7 950 setup which was purchased and the end of December so it's still in the window and ordering a 2600k and the Asus P8P67. Before that I had a E6400 and I don't planning upgrading for a few years so I decided to get the latest and newest...

I'm tempted. Anyone ever deal with returns with Newegg? Just curious how painful it is, if at all. I'd probably get a 2500K so I wouldnt lose out too much. I'd also be losing triple channel and hyper threading i suppose so I dunno.

Sooo questions, Lets say hypothetically speaking, you bought a i7 950 and mobo around Dec 20. Would you return it back to Newegg for your $$ back -the restock fee and buy the sandybridge cpu (2500k or 2600k) instead? Or would you stay with the i7 950??

Hi I have an extra wrt54g router and I was wondering it were possible for me to use it as a sort of adapter for my xbox360. I actually have my xbox 360 and Directv in the same room so maybe I could connect them both to the router and have it act as an adapter? Or would that be a bridge?

Its pointing to 127.0.0.1 I believe. Not sure what it is exactly but isnt that also in the host file or something. She didnt have high speed dialup but I think I uninstalled all the stuff she had from the dialup isp. Dont know how i can get rid of it, only other thing I can think of is having...

Need some help here, my mom recently got dsl before she had just reg dialup. Thing is everytime I start up the computer and try to get on the net with ie the checkbox is marked in tools/internet options/connection/ lan settings - the proxy box is checked, and it doesnt let my connect to the net...

Well xp64 has gotten alot better, there driver support is larger then what it was and more and more software is being written for it, like zonealarm finally has a beta version of its firewall for it. That said I tried and and still went back to xp because there was still software and games that...

Ah well thought it might not be right. I gave it a go with the smith email, but it said it couldtn do the sero. It then asked me to check my area codes for other discount offers, thats when it said there was no Sprint service available for my area. Just thought that was weird sense I had Sprint...

Hi guys, been a lurker for long time now and just read this deal. Ive been with sprint for a good 3 years+ and was wondering if there were any employee that wouldnt mind pm'in me for referral. Other then that I guess Id have to check if its good in Conencitcut. I tried to check for deals with my...
