    Help me OC my XP2500+

    thecato18 Yeah, yours is quite similar to mine. Actually, that message was in err. I have a strange problem that when running 3d applications my video processor locks up. As a matter of fact, I discovered this when running 3dmark2001se. It also locks up when I'm playing Doom3. I imagine...

    Video card errors when overclocking the FSB with my 2500+ Barton

    I'm about to start trouble shooting this problem, but I wanted to post my issue here first to maybe get some experience thrown at it. I have a 2500 barton oced to 3200+ /w a 200 fsb. My 3200 OCZ is running at a 1:1 ratio, set by the MSI K7N2 Delta MB. Nvidia 2 controller, of course. It is...

    Two power supplies eaten by my Thermaltake XaserV 5000A

    Huh, didn't realize that that wasn't a good power supply, or at least generic. The first one was a superflower 350W tt-350ss, that should have been a good one right? Also, what are rails?

    Two power supplies eaten by my Thermaltake XaserV 5000A

    Hey everyone, I have a strange problem that I think I'm about to solve by going to get another case. I will probably RMA this sucker, because really as a case it sucks. I have had the hardest time installing my hardware. The worst thing was all the damn wires in this joker. I don't think the...

    Audio trouble

    Front audio wasn't hooked up. Apparantly it has to be hooked up or the pins on the board have to be jumpered for a signal to reach the rear line out. Duh.
