    Strange BSOD

    So I've been through a lot of ___ recently w/ my new SB build. I've returned 3 5770s and just got a 560 ti. Essentially my computer runs normally for 45 minutes or so and then BSOD's randomly. It also can randomly run fine for 4 hours straight like today. After I had sent back my 5770s I put...

    2500k Strange Core Activity

    THIS is the type of answer I'm talking about. I'll look into that and now that I think about it I think you're right. I'm a little sick of OC boards constantly insisting that speedsteep and powersaving options are the devil. Yes, it is easier to get stable 5.0 ghz on sandy bridge w/ speedstep...

    2500k Strange Core Activity

    But I've heard that SB can be overclocked AND work w/ TurboBoost + C1E stuff. Either way, none of that should affect the cpu when I'm on full prime95 load....If i'm not mistaken. I also see this type of stuttering w/o overclock so I'm not sure what the deal is.

    2500k Strange Core Activity

    Hey, I just got a new 2500k with the BIOSTAR TP67XE. I've been dabbling in some overclocking but have noticed some strange behaviour with the chip. When I play games a I get a lot of micro-stuttering to point that I really can't play them any more. I've gotten a new 650W psu and a 5770...

    Possible PSU/GPU BSOD

    Power Supply BSOD Hey guys, So I recently rebuilt one of my computers. Before I rebuilt it I had an odd problem where my computer would mysteriously BSOD without any obvious signs of why. I posted about this problem and thought it was related to my current hardware and but wanted a sandy...

    Approx. PSU requirements

    Hey, I was wondering what y'all thought was an appropriate PSU for this system. I ask because I have two options. Either get a second AMD 5770 or a 6870. If I get another 5770 I'll have great performance but I'm afraid I might go over my rated PSU. My current PSU is a corsair 550W. Proposed...

    Possible power supply problem

    The dreaded power supply question... Probly the hardest problem to diagnose but I'll give it a go. My rig has recently been randomly bluescreening. It had previously been overclocked (e8400 @ 4 ghz with very reasonable temps, 55 @ load) but I then put it back down and ran prime95 and all was...

    Random Powerdowns

    I'll try that, although it's a bit puzzling how a computer standing completely still could be slightly unseated to turn it off and then seated again to let it boot. I'll see what I can do. Every time I do something like this it ends up taking hours.

    Random Powerdowns

    Hey Guys, First post, last account somehow dissappeared. I'm having a very annoying problem with my computer. It's a intel-based Abit IP35-e board using a E8400. It has been stable for about six months until suddenly I attempted to turn it on this morning and it began giving me trouble...
