    Computer shuts off after a few seconds after initially turning on then back on again

    I'm still on 100MHz. I'll see if I can tweak some OC settings to see if it fixes it.

    Computer shuts off after a few seconds after initially turning on then back on again

    I recently purchased a MSI Z77A-GD65 for my 2600k and a new 750W PSU (Cooler Master GX 750W). When I turn the computer on after having been plugged in and off for a while, the computer will never display anything to the screen and about 5 seconds later will turn off. A few seconds later, maybe...

    Corsair Force GT - Low Marks

    I haven't had the boot problem happen yet after the bios flash. I've done most of the SSD optimizations that you can do and I've verified that I'm running the latest driver. Any other suggestions? Vince

    Processor Memory Combo?

    so you guys think that the e8400 would be better than the e8500? I could always upgrade to quad core later if I wanted to. Could anyone elaborate? Would I be able to overclock the e8400 past that of the e8500?

    Processor Memory Combo?

    Alright, below is my current build. But I'm not sure with which memory I would be best off with. I want good memory for OCing and gaming and I want basically the best dollar/performance ratio. I dont want memory that's not being taken advantage of if you know what i'm saying. Also I'm stuck...

    Please help me with my new build :-)

    Ok, now I'm stuck between the Q6600 and the E8500. Which is better and why would you say so. Looking at the benchmarks on tomshardware the e8500 seems to win in more categories. I've chosen the P5Q pro mobo. Also what's the best PSU I can get for the dollar (I would like the minimum i could...

    Please help me with my new build :-)

    Alright, I will get another PSU. I'm not really looking to overclock I just want a fast machine. Ok I'm looking into the e8500. It looks extremely fast. what motherboard would you recommend and would you still consider the same memory? I assume the GPU I have chosen is adequate?

    Well both of them worked prior to vista installation. I wonder if it could be a faulty program that caused them to be screwed up?
