    Computer won't POST

    First, the system (it's been a while): Asus A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 AMD 2600+ @ 200x11 Corsair 2x512 XMS3500 v1.1 ATi 9800XT WD 120/250 TT PSU 450W (I think) Well, here's my story. I'm gaming one night (some CS after about 2 months straight of WoW for 10-12 hours a day) and I notice some...

    Logitech G15 + G7 for $80AR + shipping @ mwave

    FWIW, I called the customer service line, and it is the green version of the mouse, not the black one. I assume everyone is trying to dump these green/grey ones in favor of the black ones.

    Logitech G7 Gaming Mouse $39 after rebates, free shipping

    Anyone know if this is the black one or the green/gray one? I really want to get one of these, but that green/gray is awful.

    HDD "skip" problem

    Indeed I am, but I have no scheduled scans. Is it possible that it could be the internet connection? If, let's say, the internet here was faultering and losing signal then regaining it almost instantaneously, would this cause my entire computer to lag? I'm going to ask around to see if others...

    HDD "skip" problem

    Ok, I'm having a bit of trouble here. My HDD has been "skipping." Let me explain. If I'm playing Counter-Strike (only multi-player game I play) or downloading or even sometimes surfing the web, my computer will lag. Lag is normal, but for my music to skip as well is just strange. Also, when...

    DEAD: RadioShack -30% Off Coupon

    As soon as I get my package, I'll do whatever I can to help. It was supposed to arrive on the 30th, but it was only leaving NJ and hasn't been updated on the FedEx website since (they're closed until Tuesday). I do, however, expect it to arrive tomorrow, and as soon as it does, I will be more...

    DEAD: RadioShack -30% Off Coupon

    You're right, they honored it. I just got a shipment notice. I retract any derogatory statements toward RS. On top of that, it should be here tomorrow. Like I said, I'm very surprised. I'm very happily surprised, however. :thumbsup: to RS. I hope others faired as well as I did. Rich

    DEAD: RadioShack -30% Off Coupon

    Well, what I meant, is that Radio Shack probably doesn't care about its customers the way that Dell and Newegg do. Rather than take the loss for their own error, they'd rather just cancel orders. And I found $1.2 billion quite impressive, but I stand by my earlier statement that they don't...

    DEAD: RadioShack -30% Off Coupon

    I sure hope they don't cancel my order. RadioShack isn't a big retailer, so they won't honor their own mistakes like say a Dell or Newegg would. I'll cross my fingers.

    Power Supply killing HDDs?

    Okay, I just changed the IDE cable and am running the computer now. First thing, Windows did the "disk check" and fixed what I guess were errors. Second thing, data on my slave is corrupted (ie: some songs dont play, so I assume it needs to be scanned and fixed). So that's two drives with...

    Power Supply killing HDDs?

    The power settings are the same as they have been. I can double check them, but I'll be in the middle of doing something (talking on AIM for example) and it will just start ticking. The drive will tick maybe 6 or 7 times, then the computer freezes. The first drive was fine for over a year...

    Power Supply killing HDDs?

    Alright, here's my dilemma: I have been having some big trouble with my hard drives. I had one (WD1200JB) die on me right before school started. RMA'd it, and I had the same exact problem with the new one. They work ok (can access anything) but after being on for a bit they both would just...

    Dying HDD question

    I first thought that heat was an issue. The HDD is located in a standard cage set up for 3 drives. The failing drive is at the top and the middle space has been left unoccupied and the larger drive at the bottom of the cage. There is an 80mm intake fan blowing on both of the drives. Above...

    Dying HDD question

    Alright, I'm getting a little irritated now. About 6 months ago, my hard drive (WD1200JB) started making noises as if it were booting up. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it would start spinning randomly more or less. When it did this, the computer basically froze. Eventually, I just...

    Whats the better cooler?

    I have an Aero 7+ cooler, I don't think it's the lite version, but I'm not sure. I get about 37 idle, 42 load on a 2.2ghz T-bred core. I dunno if that helps or not but my temps are pretty moderate considering. I'm using the paste that came with the cooler too so I'm sure I'd be cooler if I...

    New to building computer...is CPU Temperture OK ?

    Well, I'm not really an Intel guy, but I'm pretty sure that's wayyy too hot. You might want to consider checking your thermal paste to see if it's dried up. Someone I know last year had a similar issue where his temps went that high. If I'm not mistaken, Intel chips usually run cooler than...

    Sennheiser PC140 Gaming Headset - $17.99 shipped

    check resellerratings.com first. I own these headphones as well. I paid $35 for them about a year ago and I like them. Very comfortable and they're great for gaming. If the ratings were better I'd get a second pair.

    *dead* BLAZING HOT! Free $100 Amazon Gift Certificate for signing up for Free AOL Trial!

    Mine was too. Think AOL can do anything if you cancel immediately after receiving? I just spent mine on a router and a mouse, so that's gone, but can AOL do anything? Curious.

    Warm as puke! Vomit , earwax, dirt (and more) flavored Jellybeans

    These are best used as a "prank." They look pretty normal, so you just put them in with other jelly beans. I had some when they came in the small "Harry Potter" box. These things taste terrible. Pepper, vomit, dirt, I can't even remember what else. You WILL know if you get one of these...

    Dell Spare Parts has a "buy one, get one free" for a 4460mAh battery!

    Does this work for all batteries, or just that specific one? I'd like to get the smaller battery for my 700m if possible. Anyone call and find out?

    Dell 700m beeps when I adjust the master volume

    I just got a 700m from Dell, and I've taken some of the standard Dell add-ins off. I am having trouble with this beep. Any time I adjust the volume (ONLY the master volume), the computer beeps. This beep isn't from the speakers, I don't think. It's kind of like the BIOS beep. It's always...

    Lian Li 6077 vs Kingwin 424

    The Lian Li has filters in it's front EX-23 HDD rack as well as a vent on the bottom of the case which also is filtered. There's also a fan speed controller underneath the front panel as most Lian Li cases have. As for 3.5" bays, you shouldn't really need more than one. Most of the...

    A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 and mobile 2600+

    Over at amdmb I was told to do a few things to see how my board faired. I ran memtest at 215x10 @1.8v with my memory at 11-2-3-2.5 @ 2.9v. Only ran it for ~30 minutes. 2 errors on test 5 of the first run. None on the second run. I then ran ANOTHER test at 210x10.5 @ 1.75v and memory at...

    Case and Motherboard

    That plate back there is just the stock plate for the case. If you buy a retail motherboard, it will come with it's own plate. You just pop the stock one out and put the motherboard's in its place. It probably won't have colors, but it will fit just fine. Lian Li is a good choice. My...

    A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 and mobile 2600+

    Yeah, I was afraid that it wouldn't be able to get up to high FSBs. I wanted to hear from people who have owned the board. One thing I did read about on the Asus FAQ website, in regards to the vcore was that there's a jumper on the board that switches it from 1.65-1.85 to 1.75-2.05 or...

    A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 and mobile 2600+

    Alright, here's my dilemma. I currently own an A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 paired with a 2600+ (non-barton). It runs stock at 12.5x166 and I run it at 11x200. Lately I've been thinking about getting a mobile 2600+ and trying to push it to 2.5ghz. Last night, to see if my board could actually handle it...

    Aight guys, let a rookie step up to the plate

    I pretty much agree with these guys. I did my first build a little over a year ago, and I was more or less like you. I wanted the super riceboy case like the one you've picked out. It's cool for about 30 seconds. Then you realize that it is too sharp, too ugly, and really has no benefits...

    PC-3077B experiences?

    Ok, so I decided that my steel case isn't going to do anymore. I need something light. I was looking at Lian Lis and came across the PC-3077B. I mailed the for pics and I saw that the PSU is vertically mounted. So, I'm looking for owners of this case, or anyone who has done a build with it...

    What are Your Mobile Althlon Overclocking Results and Details?

    Kind of bringing this one back. I'm noticing that the 45w 2600+ seems to overclock better than the 35w 2400+. I had planned on purchasing a mobile chip, but now I'm just confused. :confused: I plan to purchase an sp-97, as5, and probably a 92mm panaflo (or a tornado if i need one). Which...
