Will do. I don't really plan on taking of the IHS....not sure if it would be really worth the risk of it. Hope it's not the IHS since I got the stepping I wanted, 0550, and plan on ocing it.

I've searched all over the board and haven't found anything that seems to talk about this at all. I just installed an opteron 165 to in my system with a Thermaltake Bigwater system and a Neo2 Platinum motherboard. I'm aware that programs that tell you the temp aren't the most accurate but the...

That's very wierd, I don't have any clue why it would be doing that. I still think it's hardware but maybe some one else might have an idea of what else might cause it.

Ok the connector on your motherboard must be messed up, I'd return it and get another. I have the same motherboard as you and have never had any of the problems you have described only problem I have is my ethernet cable doesn't want to stay in but I know that's cause the connector on the cord...

Try another mouse if you can to make sure it's not the mouses problem. If it still does it with the other mouse the it's a faulty motherboard.

I've always used the Live update and haven't had a problem yet, seems to be same risks doing it with the live update as with a floppy, you just always hope the power doesn't go out. :D

I flashed from 1.8 to 1.9. When I first seen it, they changed the layout of the bios options, I liked it and figured it is cool that they added a multiply adjustment feature. However after using it I'm very disappointed. I have a a64 3000+ winchester core and had it oced to 250x9, couldn't seem...

Yep run memtest86 and if your ram checks out I'd say it's your video card. I had the same card you did and almost the same problem, except mine didn't crash quite so often, so I RMA'd the card and the place I bought it from confirmed that it was a faulty card.

Well it crashed again last night even with the case open so I called up the place that I got it from and they want it back to test it, I can just see them getting it and it not messing up, that seems to behow it goes goes with anything that doesn't work. So I did an RMA. but won't get it sent...

Unfortunately the closest person to me that I know has one available is an hour and a half away, which sucks. Wouldn't reseating the heatsink void my warranty? I really doubt it's heat too, I did have a program that monitored my vid cards heat and it was always around 50 celcius at idle...

No problem, happens to everyone. Ya would be nice if it was only 3d that it messed up. I haven't bought a water block for the gpu yet, been having problems finding one that will work with an AIW, so it still has the stock hsf. Air flow should be good around the card I would imagine with a...

Ya I did, thing is it won't fit it's out of an old P3 compaq system. I thought it was an agp card but the card is wierd it won't fit an agp, pci, or even isa slot. So unfortunately don't have another card to try. Was trying to avoid having my computer out of commision for a few weeks but seems...

Well it crashed last night and I checked the events log. From what I can see there are no errors that happened while it was idleing, even the boot up log says it was a normal shut down. The last log it recorded was a tcpip warning that I had hit the max limit of TCP connections. It also...

I got rid of my old vga card, only other vga card I have around here is a super old matrox with 4 megs of ram on it or something like that. It is agp though. Sounds like you'er suggesting what I feared.....I thought it might be the vid card so I've reinstalled the drivers for it, even used...

Just looked at the psu for the specs, turns out it's a 460...the shop I bought it from said it was a 400, oh well not complaining. Anyways the specs on it are +3.3V = 35A +5V = 35A +12V = 33A It doesn't shut down just the screen goes black and I end up with a buzzing noise coming through...
