    Mounting 60" plasma to wall

    For 3/4" I'd use lags there also, but I'm no carpenter.

    Mounting 60" plasma to wall

    I have this bracket holding up my 60" plasma: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882021109 I caught 3 studs with it and I feel confident it's not going anywhere. Not sure how I'd feel about only catching 2 studs. It came with some large lag bolts that went into the studs. 5/16"...

    Which cheap 1150 board?

    1. I'd be surprised if the mobo doesn't have the capability to run the memory at 1600, but if not, it won't be a problem running DDR3 1600 at 1333. 2. To my knowledge you're restricted to FSB overclock with that chip and it doesn't seem like these newer chipsets lend well to FSB overclock...

    Computer Won't Post

    I have the same mobo and since it has the nice reset, power, & clear CMOS buttons on it I would just try a post quick before you box it up for return (after you have it removed from the case). Just hook the bare essentials to it and make sure the board's junk before you send it in. I have been...

    CPU Overheating

    So what's 'way better' than AS5? I haven't bought thermal paste in so long that I am still using AS3. Been out of the loop for a while...

    New build, no post

    I have had older LGA 775 motherboards post and even function with an unsupported CPU. They usually just can't read the multiplier or FSB correctly. Something must be special about the new motherboard or CPU technology. I'm still learning about the newer stuff. I still run a 5 year old...

    BIOS kicks me out!

    Also try clearing CMOS via the motherboard jumper or button. I agree that another keyboard might be worth trying too.

    Which cheap 1150 board?

    Good luck. Curious to hear what you think of the G3220.

    BIOS kicks me out!

    I would try disconnecting all the non-essentials from the motherboard for troubleshooting (drives, etc).

    Are you speaking of the mobo in your sig?

    Cheap router for DD-WRT (don't care about wireless)

    While I don't have first-hand experience with TP-Link, based on the reviews I have seen of their products at Newegg, I would have no reservations buying one of their products. Go for it!

    Overclocking Q9550

    Just for reference I use Prime95 for CPU OC stability and Furmark for video OC stability. Run em both simultaneously if you want to feel really good about stability. Still using 3dmark06 for benchmark because I'm old school ;)

    Which cheap 1150 board?

    I'm the wrong person to ask about Win8...don't care for it much.

    Refurbished: Corsair Hydro H100 Liquid Cooling Kit $48.99 FS No Rebate

    BTW I bought one of these last go around and have had zero issues. I'm sure there are some duds but aside from the part number there were no indications that I received a refurb which is indicative of a good refurbishment IMO.

    Which cheap 1150 board?

    Just noticed you chose 8GB of memory. XP won't use more than 3.25GB of it. If you can swing it, Win7 64-bit would make for a nice upgrade.

    New build, no post

    Unfortunately a lot of the older chipsets need a bios flash to even be able to post with a newer IB. I have an older ASRock Z68 board with this same problem because the only 1155 chip I own is an IB. Sounds like your case could even be worse - unsupported. I think the solution for you is...

    Which cheap 1150 board?

    I never found any 1150 boards that had XP drivers. Doesn't look like the one you bought does either. Maybe they just don't have them on their website, but I stuck with 1155 for this reason. I wanted to stay on XP. Don't ask why!

    If that's what he was talking about, that's a minor detail to someone like me. I'm no Google fanboy, but Chrome seems to work fine for me.

    You're right. Been so long since I even installed it that I forgot you can uninstall it via control panel.
