    How would you deal with this RAM issue?

    I have a pair of Crucial Ballistix modules that are giving me problems. At first I was running them at the low end of their voltage range. I had no problems with this arrangement for months, then I started getting exception errors in Windows. I bumped up the voltage after finding out here I...

    How to deal with a RAM issue?

    I had 2x512 PC4000 DDR of Cruical Ballistix installed in a Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI motherboard and was experiencing random lock-ups, reboots, and BSODs. These started out in some online games, but soon affected other games and eventually even my web browser. Each time, Windows reported the...

    Flaky bios access and high temps

    Recently I was getting some lockups when playing a few games, I chalked it up to the games in question being in beta. Then Dungeon Siege II started throwing exceptions and it had been working fine. The other night I reboot, and it won't let me into the BIOS setup. It would reboot into windows...

    Gigabyte GA-G8NXP-SLI install and resolving SATA problems

    I thought I'd post how my new computer build went over the weekend. The Gigabyte motherboard was something new for me. I've built a lot of systems in the past, but I tend to go with ASUS boards as they have given me the fewest, i.e. zero, problems. I wanted to try something different this...

    How did I break WindowsXP by changing drive settings?

    I was running a SATA Raid with two WD Raptor drives on an ASUS P4P800, booting off of it even. It was working great. However, I knew upon upgrading (which is what I'm doing this weekend) that I wouldn't be able to just plug in the raid drives and have them work in a new system. So, my plan was...
