    New Build Wont boot

    So I started with 1 stick and it booted. Stuck in 3 sticks and it booted. What would you suggest? Can this combo not handle 6 sticks or should I start swapping sticks to see if a stick is bad? By the way-THANK-you! It gets pretty frustrating when you don't know what to look for.

    Asus P6T, Core i7 920, 12gb corsair ddr3 1600 (TR3X6G1600C9 G), evga 9800gtx, power pc 750watt. This is only my second build. Last one three years ago booted right up. I turn on power and fans all work, lights go on, but nothing on the monitor. How do I even begin to trace the problem? Ram...

    Rebuild and upgrade

    Ah. I guess I should have gone straight to the source. Newegg specs say 8. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813131299 Thanks.

    Rebuild and upgrade

    Thanks. The Asus P5Q Pro says it only supports 8GGB Ram. Is that not correct? Of course 8 would be a huge improvement. Anyone else?

    Missing power cable

    I just bought anew power supply (pcP&C 750) and compared to my previous Antec (Antec TruePower 2.0 TP-II 550 ), it is missing a tiny three pin cable that goes to a socket that says fan on my Asus motherboard (Asus A8N-SLI ). Should I worry about this, and if so, what can I do about it? Also, as...

    How 'bout Cooler Master M850? Seems like plenty of cables for my needs: 4hdds, two to an nvidia gtx, etc, etc

    Antec 550 vs Nvidia 9800gtx

    I chose the corsair based on the main forum page about system building. Maybe that list should be updated. I will keep looking.

    Antec 550 vs Nvidia 9800gtx

    Yes, you are correct that they only have two wires. With 4 hdds I am out of power supplies, but did manage to find one 4 wire that I plugged into 1/2 of the adapter. So now I have one correct power supply, and one that gets 1/2 from a correct plug and 1/2 from a fan plug. That does seem to have...

    Antec 550 vs Nvidia 9800gtx

    I have an Antec TruePower 2.0 TP-II 550 550W Power Supply. I just put in an evga 9800GTX. I get an nvidia message that the card is not getting enough power. The 9800GTX box says it needs a minimum of 24 amps on the +12volt rail. I would think this power supply would do it, but how do I know. Oh...

    Video card upgrade

    Thanks for the help. As usual this brings up the bigger question: what would you recommend to upgrade the whole system. I am a newbie when it comes to building, this was my first, but done entirely off of recommendations from sites like this. What of this system could I keep and what would I...

    I have a three year old system that I built, but I need a better video card. Can anyone tell me if there any limits on what I can use due to my other system components, ie mother board? My system is below: Antec TruePower 2.0 TP-II 550 550W Power Supply Asus A8N-SLI Premium nForce4 SLI...
