    New Build - Just need your opinions!

    Yes! Totally forgot about that. Is win 7 still the way to go or is it preference at this point? Also, a CPU cooler. Something quiet and effective.

    I'm done messing with it tonight, but I'll try re-seating it and such tomorrow (maybe even just buy an HDMI cable). I'll update this thread tomorrow, thanks.

    Freshly Built Rig - No picture on Start up

    So I JUST finished building my computer, went to fire it up and everything working fine (no strange beeps, no warning lights lit up on mobo, etc.) EXCEPT, I'm not getting any sort of picture on my monitor, it's as if nothing is connected to it. Here's a pic just to show you guys what kind...

    EDIT: Figured it out! Mod can delete this. So i'm having some trouble installing my corsair H50 cooler to my asus sabertooth z77 mobo. The back plate won't line up with the 4 slots. I've made sure the little pins are in the corresponding sockets (1156) but it just doesn't fit, am I doing...

    Computer Freezing/Locking Up Frequently

    Well that's the thing, I replaced the RAM and the bsod's continued so I pretty much ruled that out as being the problem. As for the current problem I've noticed a pattern. From the moment I log into windows, I have exactly an hour before it lockups and so I have to hard restart my computer...

    Computer Freezing/Locking Up Frequently

    So this started happening yesterday, my computer's been freezing/locking up out of nowhere. I'll hear the windows "device disconnected" sound and shortly after my browser windows will stop responding, same goes for my start menu and just about everything (though strangely I can move my cursor...

    BSOD before Win 7 login screen - Desperate for Help

    So this all started last Thursday, was doing some gaming - my game happened to freeze, Alt+tabbing didn't work, Cntrl+Alt+Del didn't work, so I decided to force shut down my computer (holding power down for 3-4 sec). Now Windows 7 won't boot all the way. I spent a good 7 hours that day trying...
