    Intel DX58SO - Hung at BIOS start-up

    I have experienced many varieties of boot issues in the last 10 years (about 30mb's and about 50 cpu?s) but always managed to find culprits (aggressive bios settings, incompatibilities, short , etc - it is amazing I never had any major problems like corrupted bios, dead MB, cpu, memory ...)...

    C2D Stock HSF - What is your RPM / Temp at full load?

    Sorry about another stock hsf question. I have a e6600 oc to 315x9 1.37v. The cpu temp is at 78c under full load (2 prime 95 runs). I noticed that the fan speed is stuck at 1735rpm (when the system boots up, the fan would rev higher, but soon slows down; also when it boots into windows...

    ATI Market Share > Nvidia Market Share according to Mercury Research

    Xbitlab story Earler today Nvidia revised sales forecast upward and stock spiked 1.85 before closing up 1.15 at 14.49. Watching NVDA ATYT MXO tomorrow. Normally Mercury reserach data do not affect prices too much (so said a certain Wall Stree Analyst) but I suspect this would be...

    INTEL cut its sale forecast (9/2 after market closing) and stock price dropped during ovenight trading

    I am going to watch the stock price closely tomorrow. A few weeks ago Nvidia stock got hammered when their earnings missed the estimate. I love technology and I hold a lot of tech stocks.... This is not good news for people like me. What do you think? Is it just Intel or is the whole...

    This may end up getting locked too. But what is wrong in asking how come there is no silver member? Isn't this "off topic" forums? No dirty wrods in the thread either?? :confused: Oh well.

    Forcing Fast Write on a 8500DV - see if it helps play back of HD video using WM9

    Using ATI Smart Gart, I still cannot force fast Write for my 8500DV AIW (running on a 8rda+). In Bios, fast write is turned on. Why? The help message says it is not turned on becasue it was deemed unsafe or something to that effect. Any software to force fast write? I use Riva Tuner but the...

    Radeon Video Card (FIC A97 9700np) incompatible with Nforce2 mb's (8rda+, a7n8x)?

    I got a FIC 9700 np (a97) recently and got this very strange problem: (1) 9700 runs great in a p4 setup (MSI 845 ultra) (2) Move 9700 to a 8rda+ (a) got the boot error code "7F" (b) reset bios and got error code FF (c) Put in a 8500 DV video card and it boots up ok. (3) Move...

    Another software mod available Radeon 9500(NP)-->9700

    See this post from a W1zzard A lot of results here: Result thread A lot ppl from Rage3D froum reported results too. I think the driver mod does work. But the jury is still out on whether or not the software mod is 100% artifacts free. (I.e., if ATI uses rejected 9700 chips for 9500 NP, then...

    Let this be the event that pulls all people together

    I don't know what gets into the head of the people behind the shameful attacks in the U. S. today, 9/11/2001. Violence does not solve any problem - this is why I think we should not jump into the retaliation mode immediately. Let's think about how we can stop this ugly behavior forever. I have...

    Seems like KT266A is the one-but need to figure out all documented problems w/VIA KT266 to see if I can live with them

    Upgrading bug is acting up again. Too busy to do it now, but want to start some research now. It looks like SIS735 or KT266A is the way to go with AMD CPUs (P4 is getting more interesting but I will probably wait until the 0.13 micron ones). I have seen an official thread on Sis735 problems...

    How do you test for stability?

    How can you tell your overclocked system is stable? With most softwares less than 100% stable, it is sometimes difficult for me to tell if a problem is software-related or if it is caused by oc. Therefore, I try to rigorously test my system using all kinds of tests. I used to think a 12-hr run...

    Has anyone used Burnbx and Burnmmx?

    How is your experience? Caution: Extremely high temperature. Are these good tests? My chips can pass any stability tests I can find without any problems except burnbx/burnmmx. (A 500E at 750 and a 700E at 980.) The 500 can run burnbx ok at 740. Since 10 Mhz is nothing, I ran my chip at 740 and...
