    BFG 7800GTX problems

    BFG 7800GTX problems

    Ahh ok so you got dell. Fair enough, i dont think Dell deal with X2's anyway. Well basically the dual core intels were not very well made they are basically 2 cpus stuck together, no integration whatsoever. they cant even communicate directly with each other. They have to go thru teh FSB to...

    BFG 7800GTX problems

    WOW.... suddenly i dont feel so bad... LOL just kidding. back luck mate, so a hot chick zapped your puter huh... better have got some action out of it. ... :cool: So why did you choose the intel 840 over an X2? The intel's current dual core chips are rather average IMO

    BFG 7800GTX problems

    Well because i have the SLI board i only have 2 PCI slots and the other one is taken up by my PCI IDE controller card. I gues i could try swapping them. Well basically the machine has only ever locked up in games, only like one in windows when i was trying to burn a DVD. ALl other times...

    BFG 7800GTX problems

    yeah man, im pretty nerdy when it comes to cmoputers... lol So all those bases are fully covered. Bios is updated on motherboard and video card. Reinstalled XP only last week, was using win2k before that (still had freezing back then as well) Using latest drivers for everything. Yeah i use...

    BFG 7800GTX problems

    hmm ok, might give that a shot then. Do you reckon getting one of the new X-FI cards would make any difference? So i think i willl just scratch up last nights freeze during sniper elite as a game bug and not a system freeze like what i was experience before hand. Hopefully things will...
