    Computer shuts off after a few seconds after initially turning on then back on again

    I'm still on 100MHz. I'll see if I can tweak some OC settings to see if it fixes it.

    Computer shuts off after a few seconds after initially turning on then back on again

    I recently purchased a MSI Z77A-GD65 for my 2600k and a new 750W PSU (Cooler Master GX 750W). When I turn the computer on after having been plugged in and off for a while, the computer will never display anything to the screen and about 5 seconds later will turn off. A few seconds later, maybe...

    Corsair Force GT - Low Marks

    I haven't had the boot problem happen yet after the bios flash. I've done most of the SSD optimizations that you can do and I've verified that I'm running the latest driver. Any other suggestions? Vince

    Processor Memory Combo?

    so you guys think that the e8400 would be better than the e8500? I could always upgrade to quad core later if I wanted to. Could anyone elaborate? Would I be able to overclock the e8400 past that of the e8500?

    Processor Memory Combo?

    Alright, below is my current build. But I'm not sure with which memory I would be best off with. I want good memory for OCing and gaming and I want basically the best dollar/performance ratio. I dont want memory that's not being taken advantage of if you know what i'm saying. Also I'm stuck...

    Please help me with my new build :-)

    Ok, now I'm stuck between the Q6600 and the E8500. Which is better and why would you say so. Looking at the benchmarks on tomshardware the e8500 seems to win in more categories. I've chosen the P5Q pro mobo. Also what's the best PSU I can get for the dollar (I would like the minimum i could...

    Please help me with my new build :-)

    Alright, I will get another PSU. I'm not really looking to overclock I just want a fast machine. Ok I'm looking into the e8500. It looks extremely fast. what motherboard would you recommend and would you still consider the same memory? I assume the GPU I have chosen is adequate?

    Problem With CD Drives

    Alright, my problem is that both of my DVD burner have stopped working properly. They both read all media properly but the problem is that they will not detect blank disk (neither one of them). If I put in a blank media (either cd-r or dvd) nothing happens at all and when i got to my computer...

    Resolution Problem With Vista?

    Hello, I have an old AGP MSI GeForce FX4700LE NVidia 256MB card and for some reason the maximum resolution I can set it to display in vista is 1280 x 1024. When I had Windows XP I was able to go much higher. I have the most recent drives installed on my Vista x64 and I was just wondering if...

    SH-S203N Samsung DVD drive problems

    It is a SATA drive. And the cable came with it. I've tried both ports on the motherboard. And an interesting thing to note is that when I try to upgrade/downgrade the firmware it tells me that "The firmware is not compatible with the selected drive."

    I've installed the drivers and have tried different software. My "My Computer" should be displaying DVD+-R/RW DL Recorder and it's displaying DVD-RAM Recorder. I think there could be a problem there. Also when I try to install new firmware or even try the older firmware from samsungs website...

    SH-S203N Samsung DVD drive problems

    It has nothing to do with the software. The drive literally can not read cd/dvd's. DVD's skip badly and I get a weird error like cyclic redundancy check when i try to extract files from a cd. I've downloaded the latest raid drivers so I dont know what it could be.
