    SLI troubles

    So. Whenever I try to play a game with SLI enabled on my machine, the sound starts to stutter/sound robotic, the FPS drops very low, and the entire machine eventually crashes. One time, I got a blue-screen that said "machine_check_exception". Usually when playing a game, I have ventrillo running...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    Not a bad idea. However, I've noticed that my BIOS settings are always the same, and are not necessarily reset every time... Like today, for example. I have 6 hard drives in here, and every time the CMOS gets reset, I have to tell it to look for my boot drive. When I put the new card in there, I...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    I would just like to mention that today I added in an Nvidia 9500GT to this computer so that I could use a third monitor, and when I booted it up I had 12G of ram. Also, I restarted during the driver installation, and like usual it's still here. Maybe a fix to my problem is to keep installing a...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    Welp, here's the results after 9 hours: I realize it was cut off at the end, but it was: Errors: 0. Over night, I was letting it run on 10G but I lost power. I was able to check it after 3 hours and it had 0 errors with 10G. Also, it showed slots 0,1,2,3,4,5 all identical to how it...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    Actually, come to think of it, when I clear the CMOS, USUALLY it (not always) works. That is, untill I power-cycle the machine. One option, it seems would be to clear the CMOS on every boot? But come on... that really sucks.

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    I took a look for some of the things there, but I couldn't find them. I took some pictures of my BIOS for you guys to look at: So uh... that's my current settings. What should I be changing?

    HP Printer issue

    Lemon, I used to work retail at Staples, and I've seen alot of what you're describing. I know it's a tremendous rip-off, and am happy to hear that I'm not the only one that thinks so. However, I have yet to find a laser printer that also makes copies and can scan documents...

    HP Printer issue

    I'm a college student that has an HP C5180 mainly to print papers. I've extremely rarely used the color ink in the printer. Somehow, the blue ink has run out. Fine, it still let me print in black and white. A little while ago, however, it suddenly won't let me use ANYTHING ON THE PRINTER until I...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    Thanks for the suggestion. Of the suggestions on that site, I've already done: 3. Make sure you are on a 64bit OS 5. Verify each stick of memory and each memory slot 6. Remount the CPU and verify that there are no bent cpu pins (Do NOT overtighten the CPU cooler!!!) 7. Verify...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    Welp, I've got 12GB back... but I'm not sure it's going to stay. I have always been able to get 12GB but upon power cycle it goes back to 10GB. I put all the voltages I could find to 1 step below "WARNING THIS WILL FRY" levels. (My mobo warns me). Nothing worked until I put the CPU @...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    I've googled a little bit and found this issue with multiple brands of motherboards. Also, I've RMA'ed this board, with no success. I currently have 12GB of ram, and found out that I can reliably get it by unplugging my computer entirely and waiting for ALL POWER to be drained out of it. Then...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    Sorry to bump such an old topic, but in the last 2 months or so I've been noticing that I've lost 2GB of my 12GB. For a while, if I unplugged the power completely, and let it cold-start, it would come back, but now it won't even do that. I'm stuck with 10GB with 12GB installed. Any ideas on...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    Incase anybody was curious as to what happened here (unlikely) I actually solved this problem myself. I RMA'ed the board with ASUS, and now all 12 gigs are showing up with the correct speed, although they are different "versions". It's as stable as can be as well, having been running for...

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    I did this, I used CPU-Z and that's how I knew that the ram was correctly installed but not appearing in the BIOS or Windows. Do you want a screencap of what CPUZ says for memory and SPD?

    Core i7 Memory recognition Problems

    My motherboard fails to recognize all of my RAM. Of the 12 gigs I have, the most I can get to be recognized is 8gb. CPU-Z will see all 12 gigs, and all 6 dimms, but my motherboard will not. I can't find a program to tell me which dimms my motherboard can see, but I would assume it sees them all...

    Ghosting on LCD HDTV

    I'm having a blur or 'ghosting' problem on my Samsung LN32A330. It's connected to a PS3 through HDMI, which is set to the tv's native resolution of 720p. I've been looking around for a while now and can't seem to find any answers. I have a monster HDMI cable connected from the PS3 to the set, so...

    I hear my hard drives spinning

    If you hear a ticking noise, that means the drive is working (seeking, writing/reading data) and then you'd have an issue. Just hearing the spinning is completely normal.

    Sourround sound issues in Vista

    Well, I have a 5.1 speaker setup. To compliment this I have a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Gamer soundcard. In XP (my old computer as well...) this card and speakers seemed to always work fine in a 5.1 setup. When I brought the card and speakers to my newer computer, on vista, it seems stuck on 2.1...

    Hard drive problems

    I dunno if i'm being completely clear about this sitation. I have four hard drives, a WD 74.4 gb raptor, a WD 500gb, a seagate 160 and an IBM 80gb. The IBM is the only drive on the IDE channel. Windows is on the raptor which works fine, it's the 500gb that is dead / dieing. Once I unplugged...
