    My fairly new computer is having major issues.

    Ok using Speedfan most of my temps were high, the CPU temp isn't registering, its at 0C. But about half my temps Temp 1, 3 and Internal are fairly high. Opening up my case I realized my rear chasis fan was struggling so I took it off and found that it was hard to spin. I set up a huge...

    My fairly new computer is having major issues.

    Haven't had a chance to use Orthos, speedfan, let me do that now. If I turn of SLI that runs 1 GPU correct? Or do I have to physically remove the unit? The very first time my system acted like this was several weeks after it was put together for the first time. But I think it was due to...

    Need help with motherboard and USB stuff.

    Ok, I bought a new system awhile back, dual Gforce 8800GTS etc.. SLI capable motherboard. Since I have no room to put an internal sound card I put in an external. Well with a multitude of problems and just pure frustration I think I finally narrowed the problem down. I'm not very...

    Problems with my new computer.

    I'm not familiar with firewire. I don't know if my system even has firewire ports on it. I haven't really checked though because I don't have anything that is firewire.

    Problems with my new computer.

    Tried all of that. USB ports are fine. I have 6 total, 4 in back 2 in front. I tried 1 in the front and one in the back. Drivers are current drivers. I updated all the motherboard drivers when I first installed everything which wasn't too long ago. As I said I'm not sure what else to do...

    Problems with my new computer.

    Ok, so I spent lotsa money on a new gaming machine, but I have problems that I can't quite figure out. First off, I have a crappy onboard SoundMax soundcard and well, I have 2 gforce 8800GTS cards in my machine, and absolutely NO room for a single card. So I go purchase a Sound Blaster Live...

    Have issues involving sound recording software.

    sound card drivers are updated, can't update the nvidia drivers due to the latest nvidia drivers being really bad. I have ones before they changed the interface and made changes that produced more problems than the patch fixed. Anyway as far as videos are concerned i'm not 100% sure. It...

    Ram problems.

    So I bought some more RAM. 2 more identical Corsair 512 sticks. I put them in my Soltek SL-K8TPro-939 Bank B slot. I have 4 DIMM 2 banks. I would imagine, unless I'm not doing something right, that putting the RAM in would work. But no when I do, it beeps on startup with the Debug LED light...

    Overheating issues on my Gforce 6800 256 GT

I am trying to find a way to underclock it or do something to it other than spending mounds of money putting in a cooling system, cuase I heard those were expensive and a pain in the butt...

    I have about 5 fans in my system with a side window which I completely have taken off as of like a month ago. The core starts getting critical at 120+. As I said I overclocked it awhile ago and maybe I shouldn't have. I think I can manually lower the core Freq, but I dont know how all taht...

    Overheating issues on my Gforce 6800 256 GT

    So I like to play games, on some I dual box, AKA run 2 games on my system at the same time. Well I noticed my temp was 100 deg C even higher at times. Cuasing my system to lock up and/or reboot on its own. I bought a fan that fits in the PCI slot under the card to draw the heat from the fan...

    System acting up REAL bad

    It keeps making clicking sounds, like it sounds like its the harddrive. Maybe my one harddrive is going bad, but its not a boot drive, its a storage drive. Would that cause a major freeze issue and boot problems? Whats even weirder is I can't load up windows media player. My computer is NOW...

    System acting up REAL bad

    I dont have a spare fx card. Also I booted it up, it booted up nice, still making the clicks like it was booting up, but I noticed that it wanted to checkdisk my one harddrive, my 200 gig. Said something about checking consistency. Not sure if that implies that the drive is bad.
