    Biostar K8M800 and Athlon X2 BE-2400 not working

    I tried different memory, although I dont think that is the problem as the other CPU worked fine. If I remember right, the BIOS voltage settings are like "default, +.05, +.1, +.15" so I dont really know if I can set it to 1.25 or if that is default. I actually thought my BE-2400 was defective...

    I am trying to setup a system with a Biostar K8M800 to work with a Athlon X2 BE-2400. When I power on, the fans and hard drive will spin, but there is no display, no beep, no post. I tried an Athlon64 4200+ and it works fine on the K8M800 so I'm not sure whats going on. I tried updating the...

    Fan and/or HSF suggestions

    Memory problem with K8N Neo platinum

    Actually, I thought about this. I planned to upgrade my CPU in about 18months so I planned to get some dualchannel ram and go up to 1gb I figure it would be better to get both sticks together and I could get something better for the same cost. oh well, I'll look for some ram

    Water Cooling Advice

    well, I want to avoid cutting holes as much as possible. I was going to get the dual micros, but I found out it was too wide to fit so I guess it will be two regular micros. Which kinda sucks since it will cost more and be less effective

    Dual SATA Raid won't work with ATA?
