    I call for the death of these legacy components!

    most new sound cards and tv tuner cards are mostly pcie. but pcie lan cards are pretty rare still i think. abit made legacy free mobos awhile ago i think (at least regarding ps2 and such)

    BlackBerry Pearl 8100

    Hey, I just got a BB Curve from T-mobile, signed up for the 19.99 unlimited internet and email package. Works great! Pretty speedy actually. Im pretty sure T-zones is just limited to t-zones websites. Its not the whole internet just a few specific stuff like sports, weather, news, shit like that.

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    Rob, the 3.3volt reading obviously can't be right, or I wouldn't be typing this right now. Nowhere in that picture does it say my GPU is 116 degrees or that my CPU is 124 degrees... However, I did notice that the 5v reads as 4.75, which is low. But from what I understand, GPU's run off the...

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    The motherboard BIOS and Asus PCProbe/AI Suite software all report voltages within normal ranges. The real confusing part is that the system is not unstable at all, and all voltages are reading normally. This leads me to believe it might be an issue with the GPU...

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    Yes all connectors I try from the PSU cause the same error message. I wish I had another system to try it out in, but unfortunately I do not. Doesn't matter if I run my CPU at stock or not, same error. That fact makes me think it could possibly be the video card...

    Yes, I've tried the WHQL's. I'll see what happens with the latest set of beta drivers.

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    It comes up right when I get to the Windows desktop. I just flashed to the 1219 (latest) and it still doesn't make a difference. :( Maybe a new PSU is in order? I've been hearing some negative things about the PSU I have (Antec TruePower II 550).

    I think you misunderstand. I RMAed the video card, not the power supply. The warning comes up when you boot the PC up.

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    eVGA isn't exactly a small vendor... It worked just fine before, so I don't understand why it won't work now. Anyway, I tried with the adapter and it didn't work. I also flashed to latest 1219 BIOS, still a nogo. I think I might buy either an Antec EarthWatts 500watt or Corsair VX550 PSU...

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    No, it simply died one day. I don't think using the adapter will work, it's a standard PCIE power plug that is on the card.

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    Nope, my PSU has two native PCIE power connectors, so theres no reason to use the molex adapter.
  22. S

    GPU not receiving enough power...

    Yes, the PCIE power connector is firmly plugged in. I also tried using the other plug, since my PSU has two PCIE power connectors. I also tried reseating the card.

    Yet Another Rig Check

    If you don't need SLI, stick with an Intel 965 chipset. I'd get the Asus P5B-E or Gigabyte DS3

    whats the diff. between these raptors?

    Pretty sure the Raptor X has a fancy window that allows you to look and see the drive spinning. Thats the only difference IIRC.
