    Game Crashes

    I had similar issues with the games I was playing (Halo, Doom3) and it was related to my soundcard, try using your onboard sound and see if you still have problems.

    Game Crashes

    What soundcard do you have? You should list your whole rig(Mobo, CPU, peripherials, PS, etc.) as it may help save time diagnosing problem.

    What MB to buy??

    Just looking for opinions on what mobo to get. I currently have an ECS N2U400-A but am having problems with BSOD's when I set the FSB to 200MHz in the bios. It looks like a mobo or compatibility problem to me. Any suggestions to what to get and still be able to use everything else I have? I'm...

    Can't reload win xp after computer crashed!

    Well I got it running but I had to set my FSB down to 100Mhz and set my FSB spread spectrum to .50% in my bios to make it happen, which sucks because it's a 400Mhz FSB on my mobo and PC3200 memory. Any suggestions on how I can tweak this monster to get the full capabilities of my FSB?? Is...

    Can't reload win xp after computer crashed!

    Was having some issues with freezes & drops after upgrading my vid card from a Radeon 9200 to a pny geforce 6800 GT. Someone suggested using the program 'DriverCleaner' to find and remove any old ATI drivers I may have missed. In the middle of the cab cleaning, my computer locked up and I...

    Possible problems with memory?

    Oooh that driver cleaner did the trick! While the cab cleaner was running, the system locked up and I had to restart my computer. I took me about 3 hours and I forget how many BSOD's to get my system back to any kind of operational status. I couldn't even get the computer to boot in safe mode...

    Possible problems with memory?

    I bought them in June '04 when I upgraded my system with new cpu and mobo. I had similar problems at that time, but after upgrading the ps and installing a good fan on the cpu, the problems went away. I am pretty sure I cleared out all of the old ATI drivers before I installed the new card...

    Possible problems with memory?

    Ran memtest86 on my system, and it came up with about 15,500 errors while running tests 3 & 4. I have recently installed my PNY Geforce 6800 GT in my system, and haven't had much fun running down all the bugs I have now. I updated my vid drivers to the most current from the Nvidia website...

    Processor Issues

    Ok I've put everything into a new case, an Aspire Turboserver X-Infinity ATX case with (3) 80mm fans & (1) 120mm fan cooling the case. That should eliminate the possibility of any cooling issues. I ran memtest86 and it came up with about 15,500 errors during tests #3 & #4, but only a...

    Processor Issues

    Are you referring to the 4-pin ATX12V auxiliary power connector? If you are, the motherboard does have a spot for that and it is connected...If you are referring to the AUX connector, then it isn't connected.
