    Help, upgrading CPU, system reboots repeatedly

    Well I had a 1.6a northwood. But because I had alot of crashes with that, I thought that I had burned out that processor, which is why I upgraded to the new 3.0E in the first place. Anyway long story short, I think its definitely a power related issue, since every attempt to boot freezes and...

    Help, upgrading CPU, system reboots repeatedly

    Hi, I just bought a new retail P4 3.0E prescott, and I popped it into the my abit IC7-max3 motherboard and turned it on. At first I see the video card info, then the system tries to post, but immediately reboots. It does this over and over indefinitely. Sometimes it gets further in the post and...

    Abit IC 7 MAX 3

    I have this board. Its feature list is very impressive with all the extra packed on this board. I've been having some bootup and memory or power issues with my system, but I really doubt its due to the board. Anyway questions: Is the onboard sound really that bad? I have an Audigy 1...

    Abit IC7-MAX3 intermittent boot issues

    Doh turns out to be the memory. Ran memtest86 and after pass 2, a couple failures came up. Weird prime95 shows no errors. It seems that one Corsair XMS 3200 module will not play nice with a Corsair Value Select PC3200. Any ideas? I really don't want to go back to single channel mode...

    Whats the normal temp of the card and where can I find game demos

    One more: I think, but I'm not certain, that my mainboard only has AGP 4x. This 6600GT requires a 8x agp slot. Is that a big "no no"? I ran doom3 and other benchs and so far they have been giving me good and expected results compared to the results from the [H] review. Please dont tell me...

    Whats the normal temp of the card and where can I find game demos

    Hello, I'm new, sorry if this has been answered before. I just got a new 6600GT card, and I have 2 basic questions: 1. I look at the temperature rating in the display properties, and the card hovers at around 49 degrees C. Is that normal? 2. I see all these benchmarks on the websites...

    XFX geforce 6800gt agp

    Hello, brand new member, long time H reader. I JUST recieved my XFX 6600GT AGP last night. Here's some initial impressions. Overall pretty good. Card feels and looks solid. My card comes with the newer heatsink and its BIG and heavy, but not to heavy to rip the card out of the socket...
