    Microcenter one per customer policy

    I was looking at getting a couple of the i7 930 for $199 at Microcenter but they have a policy of one per customer. Does anyone know how strict they are at enforcing this?

    random crashes

    well I was able to get into the bios while at stock voltages. The readings of the voltages on the 12v rail was the same as it was with the overvolt. So maybe its the cpu on crack problem. Even if I keep it at these voltages I still get crashes all the time so I'll have to try something else. I...

    How could the psu make it so I can not boot at stock voltages? I might be able to get another one to test with.

    random crashes

    I'm using a Core 2 Duo e4400 which was stable at 3.0ghz with voltage at 1.4. I tried to decrease the voltage when I wanted to run it at stock clock again and found that it will not boot unless it is at the oc voltages. It will also no longer run at the overclock which I had before. Even while at...

    Really good pricing on few Cards $299 GTX 280/$119 HD4850 and others

    It's almost tempting to buy some of these and sell them on ebay for twice as much in some cases.

    computer won't power on

    so I put the psu back in now and tried to start it now with cdrom and hard drives unplugged, unplugged all peripherals, took out all pci cards and my video card. Basically all that happened is the fan moved a tiny bit and then it stopped. what do I do now?

    computer won't power on

    It's not the power supply, someone on Tom's Hardware told me to start the power supply without the computer and the power supply started fine so it's not that

    computer won't power on

    that was one of my first thoughts but the only other power supply that I have right now is one from a 250 watt one from a 5 year old dell. I thought dell didn't use standard parts and everything so I won't be able to run it off that?

    computer won't power on

    I opened my case today to clean out some dust from inside my computer. After finishing cleaning it out I turned the computer on before putting the side to the case back on. As I was putting the side of the case on the computer suddenly shuts off and starts back up within a couple seconds. I...

    computer won't boot at all...

    alright I reset the bios, took out the battery and everything, no change, did it with one stick of ram, no change at all. I guess I'll try taking the whole thing apart soon. I emailed gigabyte, I'm gonna see what they say first though.

    computer won't boot at all...

    I'll try clearing the bios again, before I just did what my manual said and just shorted the cmos clear thing. I'll try it with the battery out the way you guys said this time. I have a hard time believing that I could have fried my motherboard. The fsb was only at 300 mhz and its rated to go...

    computer won't boot at all...

    Yesterday my computer basically stopped working. At first it might boot into windows, but within a minute or so, I got a blue screen. Same thing in safe mode. Sometimes when I tried to boot, I wouldnt even get a blue screen. I was running my e4400 overclock to 3.0ghz (10 x 300) for a couple...

    Should I sell my hd 2900 xt

    yea, I know the performance improvement isn't huge, I was just mainly wondering if I could conserve investment more by selling the 2900xt and buying a 8800gt or 3870. I'll probably end up just keeping it now until something with real improvements though.

    Should I sell my hd 2900 xt

    I currently have a 2900xt. Do you think I should sell this before it depreciates too much in value. Is it worth it for the small performance improvement?

    Will memory prices continue plummeting?

    I'm deciding whether or not to buy more ram now. Do you guys think that memory prices will continue to keep dropping or do you think they'll stop?

    How hard would it have been to MCM the athlon X2?

    I think the main challenge for making a MCM chip for AMD is that K8 and K10 use an integrated memory controller.

    after overclock, won't boot into windows

    yea, I tried that, but when i put my windows cd and tried to boot onto cd, it started to load stuff from the cd and then tried to boot into windows. could I be a complete idiot and be booting from a cd incorrectly?

    after overclock, won't boot into windows

    the strange thing is, I dont get it anymore, now after it finishes with the part where the loading thing is on the bottom, I just get a black screen except for my mouse, which is on the screen and moves. Yesterday I was able to get into safe mode, but would only be stable for about a minute...

    after overclock, won't boot into windows

    ok so before yesterday i had had a stable overclock to 3.0ghz on my e4400 (10 x 300). I'd never tried to go any higher because I'm using the stock cooler but yesterday since it was a little cooler I tried going to 3.1 ghz and bumped up the voltage a little. I ran orthos for about 20 minutes...

    E4400 won't boot with even 10 mhz oc

    I'm starting to think it is the motherboard. I relaxed the memory timings and put the divider at 1:1. Then I tried just a slight oc again. no post. Then I tried under clocking by about 10 mhz. no post. Then I tried just enabling overclocking, but not actually changing anything. no post again. I...

    E4400 won't boot with even 10 mhz oc

    Ok so I built my computer about a week ago now. At first I was able to overclock it to 3ghz. While doing this oc I could never get my mb stable when I set the voltages manually, but worked fine when using auto. Even when I put in the exact some voltages as auto, manually it never worked. This oc...
