    Spray painting my computer case (HAF 932)

    This will be my first case I will be painting. I'm looking forward to it and I think the finished product with the color of my components will look good. :) I know I will need primer, the color I want, as well as the clear coat and sand paper. As far as taking the case apart what is...

    Buying MacBookPro

    To be honest the only reason to buy a 15" or 17" is for the larger screen. I have the 15" and I'm totally content with it. The 13" seems too small and the 17" seems to big. I'd buy the new multi touch mouse, and a bag at least.

    Does this sound like the mobo, power supply or something else maybe?

    No, the psu I was using at the time my computer stopped working had all the right connectors. But the old psu that I took out from an hp desktop didn't.

    Does this sound like the mobo, power supply or something else maybe?

    I bought a new psu today, It seemed to fix the problem with the CPU cooler but i am still getting no video. The psu i had before was 650w and the new one is 550w. I'm pretty sure the graphics card is getting power since the fan is running. Is it possible that the fan can run but still not...

    The PSU that was using the whole tune works with my vga but the one that I switched out to test doesn't.

    No I don't. I would need to buy one.

    Does this sound like the mobo, power supply or something else maybe?

    Well I would but I just realized my motherboard doesn't have onboard video and my old psu doesn't have the required wire to power my video card.

    Scatch that thing about the extra psu. It won't work. My mobo doesnt have an onboard video and the psu doesn't have the proper wiring to hook my video card up so I won't be able to test it.

    Does this sound like the mobo, power supply or something else maybe?

    I reset the cmos, nothing. I tried hooking up a psu from a 4 or 5 year old HP i had lying around. I just hooked up the bare essentials and all i got was one very long beeeep before it powered down.

    Does this sound like the mobo, power supply or something else maybe?

    I installed the ninja plus cpu cooler I had lying around (which by the way was a pain to install) but it didn't fix the problem. The fan on the cpu cooler wasn't 4 pins but I tried plugging it into the cpu fan header and it didn't work. I just plugged it into a regular fan header and it spun.

    I dont have any mobos that can fit my socket. I have this ninja cpu fan and im currently trying to figure out how to set it up.

    Does this sound like the mobo, power supply or something else maybe?

    I went to turn on my computer today but only the hard drive, and the fans would turn on. My usb devices wouldn't work, monitor wouldnt work and i noticed my cpu fan not spinning. I checked to see if the cpu fan was blocked but it wasn't. I checked all the connections and everything looks to...

    Password stopped working in XP

    I set a password up yesterday on XP. I logged out a few hours later and then logged in a while after and it worked fine. But now I am trying to log in and it is saying it is the wrong password. How do I bypass this if it is possible?

    Looking to buy a new laptop

    I am torn between two different laptops. The macbook pro or the an acer one that has some nice features such as the hd-dvd player. I can get about a total of about $300 off the macbook and I can probably get the Acer down to hopefully $900 from the original $1300 price tag(I work for Best Buy)...

    I'm baffled

    I'm baffled

    I just took a better look at it and it seemed a cable might have been blocking the heatsink fan on the cpu from spinning. I am hoping it was that that was causing and i didn't just put it accidently when I just opened the case.

    Installed OS onto H drive

    I tried installing flash but I am getting "Free up 5000k" error. I'm assuming it is because I accidentally installed the OS onto the "h:" drive and not the "c:" drive. Do I need to reinstall windows?

    New motherboard, no signs of life

    Are you allowed to choose 32 bit with the 64bit version of vista? I didn't buy 4 gigs but I will be within a few weeks or is 2 gigs alright for now? Not to many heavy programs yet but I will be using vegas and photoshop in a few months and games that support it hopefully soon.

    New motherboard, no signs of life

    I just gave up and brought it to Geek Squad. I work at Best Buy and I called them a few times and they told me I should have a 4 pin cable coming from my PSU but I couldn't find it. So I just drove it down there and went into the precinct and he found the 4 pin cable but it was with another 4...

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***
