    Sorry I have a little bit of trouble with drivers. But, I have a 6600GT and an nforce 4 board. Do I get the Nvidia visual drivers and the nforce4 standalone? Or just nforce unified? or what???

    Got my computer running what should i install?

    Mainly I've been wondering about my audio driver. The motherboard came with a Realtek AC'97 driver, and its an nforce 4 ultra board. I was curious because with my nforce 2 board I used nforce drivers for audio. Should I use the Realtek, or get the Nforce ones?

    We have all the components in, but there is no beep when it turns on. Therefore it does not boot up at all? We've checked everything we THINK. But still not booting. Any ideas?

    Buy better sound and speakers? Or stay with better video?

    I don't know whether or not to spend my money on better sound and speakers, or just go all out with the 939 chip and 6600GT. Should I get weaker CPU/VIDEO in sacrifice for better sound and speakers, or stay with the original plan and use ONBOARD sound and my 2 labtec speakers ($20 speaker pair)...

    CPU Fan questions - Fan slows and CPU Overheats

    I downloaded ASUS PROBE 2. You can only monitor, not SET fan speeds. Also, I see no where in BIOS to turn off FAN THROTTLING. Im I lost or what? :(

    CPU Fan questions - Fan slows and CPU Overheats

    When my PC starts, I get a good 5000rpm out of the fan and it cools to 44C. As I use the PC, it slowly works its way down to 2000RPM. When it gets down to that level the computer freezes or shuts off because temps are around 60C. Is there anyway I can I keep the computer from making the fan so slow

    Random freeze and crashes

    Eventually the CPU fan slows out to 2000rpm, and then the CPU overheats and it freezes. :(

    Random freeze and crashes

    Well I think Ive found whats wrong. It seems that when SPEEDFAN shows the CPU fan going 0rpm (I can see it moving as we speak.) The temperatures rise very fast, but sometimes it will show the CPU fan going 4000rpm+. And in that case, the comp runs fine, 46C temps. What the hell is going on

    Random freeze and crashes

    Its rev 1003. Also, My BIOS thought I had 64mb of video memory for some reason, so I switched it to 32mb and it seems to be running peppier, could just be placebo. I dont see how that could effect my usual problem.
