Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
So I discovered that one of my 2 HDDs was on the verge of death (running really slow and making a ruckus), so i opened up my build and unplugged it and took it out. However after I did and tried to start my computer, the strangest thing started happening. My Radeon 4870 started blinking 3 red...
It was on sale on Newegg but most reviews I've read said it was decent..
Would a lack of power to my mobo be a potential cause or am I just shooting in the dark here?
No beeps at all. It would seem like a regular boot up but without any video
Update:
Im narrowing it down to potentially the PSU. I just purchased a new 700W OCZ PSU to alleviate the situation. What do you think?
Hi,
So i recently bought parts for a new build and I am currently using:
PSU: Antec Trupower 430
Memory: 2 x 2 GB DDR2 OCZ Memory
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+
MOBO: ECS A780GM-A Ultra AM2+/AM3 AMD 780G HDMI ATX
Vid: ASUS EAH4870 DK/HTDI/1GD5 Radeon HD 4870 1GB...
Thanks for all the advice guys. I get paid this Friday so I should have extra funds to buy all the funds this weekend. I am going to buy the PSU now though. What is the big difference between:

I saw this CPU on sale today at newegg

Based on the information I've provided. I will need a new MOBO to run this correct?
Is that PSU something that you would recommend that could last quite a while? Also I am running on 1440 x 900 on my Westinghouse 19" Widescreen LCD so I don't think I'm getting a new one any time soon
Hi people,
I am a self-admitting noob when it comes to what is the best new hardware and such for my PC. I am on a MSI K9N SLI Platinum Mobo (AM2 Chipset) with AMD64 3500+ and Nvidia 7600 GT vid card.
Recently I upped my memory from 2 GB Corsair DD2 Memory to 4 GB OCZ Memory. To bring up...
