    What motherboards have Non-Z overclocking enabled for Pentium 3258?

    Looks like the Windows 10 Fall update has cleared up the microcode issue. I'm overclocking fine without any manipulation of the system files.

    What motherboards have Non-Z overclocking enabled for Pentium 3258?

    Is anyone having success with the Win10 workaround with non-Z boards? I just got a G3258 on an MSI B85-G41 PC Mate board and I was hoping to both OC it and run Windows 10. Does anyone know if this workaround works for clean installs of Win10 as opposed to Win7/8 upgrades?

    Burning DVDs on CD-RW drive

    I really want to burn a couple videos I have on my computer to a CD-R in a format readable by my PS2... is there any way that I can burn something in a DVD format or something? Is there any specific file format that DVD players read? Is there any program that will burn DVDs to CDs? Thanks.

    New video card: Black Screens

    My hardware problems are just endless. So I had a BFG 5700 Ultra that was giving me vertical line artifacts, had that replaced through Alienware and just got a BFG 6800GS OC replacement from them. So I get the card in, and reformat (was doing this anyways). With XP installed, I begin to...

    BSoD and Mobo Beeping

    2 sticks and I tested both together... so I'm not sure which one didn't pass. But Corsair replaces them in pairs... so it shouldn't matter.
