    New build won't post

    Board is a Biostar Z270GT6 and I get an 0A error code. This code isn't in the manual. Tried swapping out keyboard and video card and have taken out all the sticks of RAM, trying one at a time. I'm right now reseating the heatsink. New build, I'll admit I haven't built a PC in years so may be...

    Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

    Couldn't help but mess around with it some tonight (hate having something like this just sit because I can't help but just think about it). So, I took out my video card and the thing powered up just fine. Tried the other 2 PCIE slots just to make sure it wasn't a bad slot but that didn't...

    Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

    Thanks for the responses all. Sounds like this is something that will take some dedicated time to figure out and fix so will have to be pushed back until I'm completely done with the move. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something easy or simple to look into. And to answer a...

    Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

    Decided I'm going to get a new PSU and motherboard. If it's the PSU then I have a good motherboard that I'll have to eventually turn into a folding rig or something. And if it's the motherboard I have old i7 and i3 systems that are missing a few parts one of it being a PSU.

    Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

    That's good to know about the PSU, had been running a full water loop for years so booting up was never a quiet thing. UPS is 3ish years old and has other things plugged into it that are functioning just fine.

    Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

    Well I couldn't wait until morning so went and got a paperclip. The Result: I don't know... The PSU turns on, but it's nearly silent. The fan does spin, but I had to take the PSU completely out of my case to determine that it is in fact turning on, that's how quiet it is. Now, are...

    Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

    Was working fine yesterday, powered it off as we were getting bad storms here in Minnesota. Turned it on tonight, logged into Windows 10 and it turned itself off as I was away from the desk. Come back and it just won't turn on. PSU = Corsair HX850 that I've had for 5ish+ years (for the...

    Laptop Overheating

    Found a solution... Took the back panel off and it hasn't gotten higher then 55C - even while web browsing (which I still think is high for surfing reddit but it's much better then the 70s and 80s I was seeing).

    Cloud Storage?

    I work in a very small office (3 people total) and instead of having a server we have an external hard drive that's on our network that we can all access. On this external hard drive are various business documents mostly PDFs, Word/Excel docs and photos/videos. This external HD is backed up...

    Hard Drive dead or something else?

    Well, bought a W7 HP disc/COA so I'll get it fixed while having an additional windows key code (for what reason, I have no clue, but I suppose it's handy to have on hand?). But the more I think about the thread you linked Ketchup79 and the error on my drive, I'm pretty certain it isn't my drive...

    Hard Drive dead or something else?

    I've been running two WD Blacks 640GB in Raid 0 for 2-3 years now. I recently upgraded my case to the 600T which has the power button on top of the case. I have a cat who likes to lay on top of my computer and thus has been hitting the power button causing my PC to shut down. I have had...

    2nd Monitor going black

    Gah that sucks. Both my monitors are Samsung and the 2nd one that's out is actually newer then the main one. Guess I'll have to get use to single monitor life for a little wise...feel so weird. Thanks for all your help.

    2nd Monitor going black

    Also I wanted to add. When I'm in the nvidia control panel and I change the screen resolution of the 2nd screen (doesn't matter what I change it to) it will work for about 5 seconds then go black again.

    2nd Monitor going black

    W764, DVI, Yes (although I put a gtx280 along side the gtx570 and tried to run them off different cards, both off the 280 and still the same result). Both running at 1920x1080 which is their native resolution. At the bottom of the monitor are the controls that are lit up. The monitor...

    2nd Monitor going black

    I've been running this same two monitor setup for about 2 years now with no issues. Tonight when I got home from work I'm finding that my 2nd monitor is going black while my main monitor is just fine. The power on the second monitor is on as indicated by the LCD lights below it and if I turn...

    There is a new PPD king in town for F@H 16,751 PPD

    It's a great little chip, once I get my H50 back from RMA I'm really going to see how well it OC's and crank her up.

    F@H n00bie with a Core i7 980X

    Yeah, I threw in a 9600GT into my main rig for the Chimp Challenge. My 5850 Toxic is laying in it's box next to my desk...sad that the lil GT performs PPD wise slightly above my Toxic and can fold along with the SMP client.

    F@H n00bie with a Core i7 980X

    I could never get CPU folding + GPU folding to play nice if there was an ATI card involved, Nvidia + CPU folding no problem.

    There is a new PPD king in town for F@H 16,751 PPD

    12-13k PPD on my 1055T @ 3.5GHz using the SMP client. And I got in on the TD special, so spent $125 for the lil PPD machine.

    SMP2 folding core A3 is available now!!

    Follow this guide here and it's a snap, nice and easy walk through with pictures. Will get you up and running with SMP in under 10 minutes pain free.

    F @ H questions.

    Depends on what GPU's you're housing. And if you're having issues getting SMP and GPU2 client working together, this is a sure way to do it.
  36. C

    F @ H questions.

    Use flags when you're folding with the SMP to get your SMP and GPU client working together. For example I have a quad core so I use the flag -smp 3 to leave one core for my GPUs to use.

    Is anyone planning on a GTX 480 F@H rig?

    I'm going to snag a GTX 470 to fold on, currently folding on two 5770s and then have read a few guides to run PHYSX with ATI cards and going to try to slap a GTS 250. But want to get a single GTX 470 for simplicity sake.
  38. C

    F @ H questions.

    No, set up the SMP with your quad, get much more PPD vs setting up four instances. Also you can fold GPU2 on your 4890 along with SMP. I'm getting about 5k ppd on my 955 @ 3.8GHz (bonus points of course) and when I had a 4890 it was rather low...2kish. Hopefully GPU3 will bring some ATI card...
