    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Anyone know when Newegg should be getting some more of these? I'm debating whether I should hold out for the EVGA at Newegg or just go ahead and get one of these from Dell.

    New build, no signal to monitor

    robisbell, got it fixed. I ordered a new motherboard, the GA-P35-DS3L, and everything worked fine from the go. I'm still baffled, but after all, I'm gonna have to say I'll never buy another Abit.

    New build, no signal to monitor

    Thanks for your help, robisbell. I guess I'm going to be RMA'ing some things, so it'll be a while before I update this thread with my next problem.

    Abit IP35-E POST problem

    TELeast, I'm having the exact same problem with my IP35-e. I've already RMA'd it once, and the second one did the exact same thing. I've tried it with three separate PSU's and two GPU's. The only thing left is that it doesn't like my RAM or CPU...

    New build, no signal to monitor

    Yes, both video cards that I tried work in his machine. No beeping, it just spins the fans and resets. Yes. The heatsink was a pain but unless I've put it on wrong every time, it's fine. It's firmly seated, you can't move it without spinning the legs to unseat it. Yes, I usually...

    I wish. He has a DDR/AMD motherboard, which is why I haven't tried the RAM or CPU to make sure they work.

    New build, no signal to monitor

    Yes, exact same model. What are the odds that two Crucial Ballistix sticks are bad though? I've tried swapping them in and out for each other.

    New build, no signal to monitor

    It runs my friends similar system, he's never had a problem with it. Actually, I just hooked my Antec back up and it's doing the same thing as the Seasonic now. Reboots after a couple seconds.

    New build, no signal to monitor

    ok, I'm trying it on a PSU with 8pin 12v and the vid card isn't getting powered up, and also it just keeps restarting every 5-10 seconds. The PSU is a Seasonic SS-600HT.

    New build, no signal to monitor

    I just got my new motherboard in, and it's doing the same thing. One thing I failed to mention is that when I power it up, the CPU fan spins, then stops, then both the CPU and video card fans start spinning. It's like it resets itself after powering on. Also, my power supply only has a 4-pin...

    New build, no signal to monitor

    update: I borrowed a friend's monitor and video card, still no signal. so I've narrowed it down to either CPU or motherboard. or I guess RAM, but how likely is it that two separate sticks of ram are causing no video?

    New build, no signal to monitor

    I've reseated and reconnected everything a few times.. with two different power supplies. I haven't tried another card because I don't have one, and you're right about no onboard video. I also tried removing a stick of ram and all of the other devices that have nothing to do with signal to...

    yes, I'm sure everything is connected correctly. Should I send the board back? Is it possible that it could be my CPU?

    New build, no signal to monitor

    I just got my new build in, put it together, and I'm not getting a signal to my monitor. I tried everything I could think of. I initially thought it was my old, crappy Antec SL-450, so I went and bought an Antec Basiq 500, but it has the same results. I tried reseating everything a couple times...

    Is an Antec SL-450 sufficient for this build?

    I'm doing my first build in a couple years, and I'm wondering if I can use my old SL-450 for this one. I'm basically clueless when it comes to power supplies and utilization. e6750 (probably going to try to overclock to 8x400, not sure how much that affects power) 8800GT 2x1gb ddr2-800...

    MSI Neo2 Platinum problem - no video on boot

    I get no video on boot, the motherboard does power up though. It's acting strange too -- even if I don't have a power switch plugged into the power switch jumper on the motherboard, the system powers on whenever I hit the switch on the back of my power supply. I've tried clearing the CMOS...

    I have a Soltek K8TPro-939 with a 3000+ a64, and I got my 6800OC in the mail today. I put it in and it worked fine to begin with. I installed the drivers then turned off my computer so I could hook my DVD drive up since I had it unhooked to begin with. When I turned my computer back on, I...

    Overclocking on a Soltek K8TPro-939?

    When I try to change the multiplier, it doesn't do anything. I've disabled cool and quiet, is there something else I'm missing -- or is my 3000+ locked? I thought all a64's were unlocked.

I have to use this laptop for school next semester, and I'm missing keys, haha. Anyone know where I can find...

    Freezes and reboots after OC'ing

    I just got my new mobo in today, NF7-S v2 and I'm overclocking my 2500+ to 3200+ and it's running at a fine temperature (39ºC/104ºF). However, after running Doom3 a bit sometimes the game will simply close, and sometimes my system will reboot. What could be the cause of this? I'm running...

    Difference in 333 and 400 FSB?

    I'm running a 2500+ on an a7v333 with PC3200 ram. I know all signs point to getting the mobo that supports 400 FSB, but I'm wondering... how much performance gain will I see? I'm a pretty broke guy, I was thinking about just staying with this set up until I can afford a new/really good...

    9700Pro freezes in games -- VPU Recover

    Ok - I fixed the CPU problem. There was a lot of copper around the edges of my *aluminum* heatsink that I didn't realize was messing up the connection between the HS and CPU. I simply scratched it off and I'm at 1.8Ghz at 56ºC, way better than before :) But there is still the VPU Recover error...

    9700Pro freezes in games -- VPU Recover

    Yeah, I ordered a Vantec Aeroflow as recommended by somebody else. Supposed to be pretty good. But I don't think this is going to fix the video error. Medium speed, you say? I tried my friends HSF that was medium speed, around 5000 rpm, and it seemed like it cooled it better, but I didn't get...

    CPU fried?

    Update: I flashed my BIOS to the latest version and it fixed the CPU garbage character problem and lowered the temp my BIOS reports by about 20 degrees. I used one of my friends fans and it dropped my temperature about 30 more degrees. Thanks everybody.

    CPU fried?

    I'm going to try the latest bios today. The garbage characters show up at POST as well, and this is for ANY speed. But in BIOS, yes, it says 1100Mhz, or 1.4Ghz, or whichever I have it set on. Thanks a lot for everybody's help.

    I've had my CPU and heatsink for a year. I've removed and reinstalled the heatsink many times. The heatsink is hot to the touch, but not too hot to touch. The fan's on correctly. I'm sure of it. I checked my voltages. Honestly, I have no idea what they mean so I'm just going to list them...

    I don't see how my HSF wouldn't be installed properly. The groove is lined up as it's supposed to be. And yes, I'm using thermal paste.
