    Bad SSD score? :(

    Hi all, I recently upgraded to the OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. I'm on Windows 7. I just used AS SSD Benchmarking tool, and I came up with this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1742159/Pictures/OCZVertex2.jpg As I understand it, this program heavily favors Intel SSDs, but my read/write speeds seem...

    EP45-UD3R w/ OCZ Reaper 2GB Stick won't post

    Hey all, To make a long story short, I cannot make the EP45-UD3R Gigabyte board post (at default settings) with this memory. I bumped up the DRAM Voltage to 2.2 (as per instructions given by various other websites) and it still won't post. It WILL post when I set the latch to 266mHz and...

    Won't boot from Windows CD

    Hey all, Well, to make a long story short, I was upgrading my brother's motherboard to something more modern (which presented a host of different problems, but I think I got them working, even if the RAM is running at slightly lower speeds than its designed to run at). Anyway, I have the...

    IE7 can't nav. beyond homepage. Windows Exp. boots back to root directory. Help!

    As the title implies, after a few hours (or less) of using my computer (normal usage. No spyware sites, etc.), my internet explorer will not navigate past the homepage. When doing so, it turns to a white screen (within IE) and the status bar disappears, at which point it hangs. At the same time...

    All good with this OC?

    Hey again all, Just a quick question. I'm running a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 mobo with a E6400 C2D (2.13 gHz stock). I OC'd it to 2.8 gHz (350x8), and I'm currently idling typically around 40-43*C (STOCK air cooling). Is this a decent temperature to run at 24/7? Under load, I barely eclipse...

    Help! Tried to OC and messed up

    I'll make this quick and to the point. I built my PC today with a E6400 proc (2.13 ghz) C2D with 2 gb of patriot DDR2 800 RAM. I went into the BIOS and changed the settings according to a website to overclock, but I think I messed something up along the way. The RAM timings ended up being...

    Windows install trashed and can't boot from CD!

    Well I was modding a friends x-box yesterday. I had decided (stupidly, evidently) to use my computer HDD to temporarily put the modchip bios onto the root and hopefully have the modchip OS detect and flash the .bin file onto the modchip. It didn't work, so I went to go put my HDD back into my...

    Where to buy ATI Radeon 9800 Pro compliant fan?

    Hey everyone, I'm simply looking for a stock fan for the ATI 9800 Pro video card. I incorrectly screwed it on when performing basic maintenance before, and I paid the price naturally. The entire fan itself sheared off from the base of the fan presumably from the intense heat. Anyway, if...

    Can't play major games. Help!

    Hey everyone! Well I'm relatively new here, but I've been having a persistent problem probably since I can remember. I'll give the low down on my specs and how old each piece of hardware is to maintain a contiguous atmosphere. Processor: Intel Pentium IV 2.4GhZ (around 2 years old, but...
