    Just bought a Dual Xeon PSU, but no ATX PLUG! Converter?

    I swapped back in my old psu and everything works fine. I put in the new fortron and it doesn't boot. This is retarded. i called fortron and they hung up on me twice and kept saying they would email me instructions on how to test a psu. I know what they are doing....just trying to buy time until...

    Just bought a Dual Xeon PSU, but no ATX PLUG! Converter?

    OK, I got the adapter at frys. But the computer turns on for a split second, then back off. Same thing it did without the 4 pin plugged in. This is very strange :( -Collin-

    Just bought a Dual Xeon PSU, but no ATX PLUG! Converter?

    Hey all, I feel like an Idiot because I just bought a Fortron FSP550 to go on my DFI NF4 Ultra-D and didn't notice that it had no 4 pin ATX connector. Does anyone know if there is an adapter to use one of these strange 8 pin plugs or 6 pin plugs? I have no idea what they are! Or, would a 4...

    Changed CPU, now laptop is dead?? HELP!

    OK, I bought a Compaq Presario 1700T which came with an 800mhz celeron. I had an old 850mhz P3 cpu from another laptop that was destroyed from water damage. I figured the CPU was fine. Anyway, I installed the new cpu in this laptop and it wouldn't boot. Everything turned on, but the screen was...

    athlon 2600+ barton and pc2100 memory

    As already mentioned....the ram being run at a different speed than your fsb is going to make performance drop. But, it won't hurt anything if you don't have money for new ram. Check the for sale/trade section, there are very good deals to be had on some pc2700. -Collin-

    Hitting a wall @ 265 HTT

    What you are experiencing is the on die memory controller's limits. This is a common problem with the Athlon 64's. I can run up to 300HTT with the same board stable, but not at 1:1. My TCCD ram runs just fine up to 300mhz, but the memory controller cannot handle it. If I use only one stick...

    what mobo for A64 3000+ ?

    I couldnt agree more. This board has more voltage and overclocking options than almost any nforce 3 board there is. 3.2 volts ddr is awesome for getting crazy fsb speeds. I run mine at 275mhz fsb at 1:1 with my samsung ram. It's been a great board! -Collin-

    Gigabyte K8NS Pro work with DDR BOOSTER?

    Yeah, I checked it out. They don't have my board listed. One of the Gigabyte boards are incompatible, and the rest are compatible. I really don't want to take a chance here. :( -Collin-

    Someone PLEASE HELP! Direct 3D restarts my computer

    I am frustrated beyond belief. When I run a direct 3d app, such as far cry, aquamark, or games like that, I get a restart. Most games still work though, like painkiller, doom 3, call of duty, ut2004 etc. Also, when I choose to "TEST D3D" in dxdiag, it restarts. I have re installed windows...

    Random restarting...??

    Aside from my spyware problems, I am having another problem with my computer. Every so often, it decides to restart itself. I figured it was because the cheap power supply was going out, so I bought an antec 350watt power supply. It does the exact same thing. I figured then that it might be the...

    What the heck is goin on with my computer?

    Yes I have AV software and a firewall. I have scanned the disk twice now with two programs. No trojans or viruses....which is why I cannot figure this out. I really would hate to have to install windows again. -Collin-

    quick question about setting things up for overclocking

    Just a FYI....I bought that same board. You might want to get the newest bios ASAP. You will be missing about half of your multipliers without it, or at least I was. I didn't have 10, 10.5, 11, or 11.5....overclocking is somewhat useless without those. -Collin-

    Is my power supply dying?

    I tried the new bios, but same thing. I decided to try a new motherboard. I wouldn't have, except that I found a killer deal at newegg. Got a refurb GA-SINXP1394 for 39 bucks. Hard to beat that. I just hope it's not my processor now....thanks for the help. -Collin-

    Is my power supply dying?

    Hey Guys, My computer isn't all as stable as it used to be...so I've been trying to figure it out. When I go into bios, my vcore is jumping from 1.48 to 1.5 to 1.52 at random intervals. Is this normal? It is an asus p4b266. Any ideas? Thanks!

    1.7 vcore too much?

    Thanks for the link...but there is a pretty big difference between 265$ and 60$, wouldn't you say?

    1.7 vcore too much?

    Hmm....ok. I guess this thing just doesn't want to do 3ghz. It is a 2.2 that runs perfectly at 2.9, but not 3ghz. Oh well, can't have your cake and eat it too. Basically I just wanted to tell my friends I have a 3 ghz processor.... :) Thanks
