    PNY 6800GS problems

    I upgraded from an unlocked and OCed GF6200 to a currently unmodded PNY 6800GS and have had problems right out of the box. I have even tried underclocking it to see if tha could help out and it does not seem to. 3dmark03 runs fine. There are no problems with that. I cant run any of hte...

    Think I Nuked Something

    It was the power supply. I did nuke it. Damn it was a pretty good one too. I got it from OCZ about 4 years ago. Its a 525W 40A 3.3V 46A 5V and 25A 12V with a 20+4 power connector (I was wrong on it jsut being a 20). The odd thing is the fuse is fine. Its probably repairable and its still...

    Think I Nuked Something

    I checked the power switch by shorting the power switch header. It didnt turn it on, but I did notice a higher pitched hum. I tried leaving the HDD plugged in (I dont have any molex powered fans) and shorted the PSU. The PSU fans came on but the HDD did not spin up. I was told by another...

    Think I Nuked Something

    All fans are plugged in and the CPU fan is plugged into the CPUfan slot. My last mobo had the same thing but it would power on for a second then shutdown quickly and beep like hell (Soyo K7V-DRAGON the crappy KT266 one not the KT266A). The video card does require a power connection, but it is...

    Think I Nuked Something

    Okay I was repairing/upgrading my computer and couldnt remember if I was supposed to leave the power cord in or not after I shut everything down (PS has a power switch on it). Instead of doing the smart thing and looking it up I had just guessed it as it needed to be in to ground properly...

    Determine Memory Bus on VC? (128/64bit)

    Nevermind I figured it out. I had Rivatuner already but didnt seem to notice the 128bit designation before the rest of the card identifier stuff. Its odd that my memory is clocked at 400Mhz though since it says it should be 64bit when set at that frequency from the factory. Oh well guess its...

    Determine Memory Bus on VC? (128/64bit)

    I just bought a Chaintech 128bit AGP GF 6200. There is one issue. I dont think it is 128bit even though the place I bought it from (ZZF) specifically stated it to be 128bit and even the box states it being 128bit. The reason I dont think its 128bit is the fact that on chaintech's site it says...
