Hi everyone. I'm having some issues looking for a good laptop and was hoping you guys could help. I am currently in the process of replacing my main workstation pc (a desktop I built maybe 4-5 years ago), I've decided to go with a laptop as it would be much much more useful for me as I am a...

Checking for debris under motherboard, good suggestion

I thought it was mem as well. About to start playing with voltages. Have already tried underclocking it which usually makes it stable in other builds I've "played" with that were freezing. Already past memtest and windows mem diagnostic with no issues. Did the 'eraser' to the contacts, again a...

correction- have tried different dimm slots for mem, only a temp fix, problems remain

@Standpoint, at that point if all is OK, all is OK right? Or did you mean to say if problems still persist? Are the problems I'm describing likely an issue with insufficient power? I need to ask, and don't mean any offense, but does anyone have the slightest clue what might be wrong? I'm all...

I am not sure what this means but the specs on the current power supply are Input Current 10A Output +3.3V@24A, +5V@30A, +12V@52A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3.0A Is that not enough for whats under the hood?

Trying to test with a thermaltake 1000W power supply

Comp freezes whether or not the card is under load and has already been tested with a different card (problems persist). We had the computer playing crysis at enthusiast settings for about 10 minutes, then it crashed. Other times, sitting at desktop. Crash. During boot. Crash. During Bios...

Voltage spec is 1.5v. Have not tried 1.65. Have not tried different sata port for the hd. Have tried different slots for cards with two different cards, no effect on crashes Have not tried different slots for memory I am not very well-versed in computers. Just a little more than my...

I posted links because some people like to be able to look at all exact specs of the gear. corsair 650w psu g.skill 4gb ddr3 1600 AMD x4 3.2ghz Gigabyte UD3P XFX HD5850 WD 1TB hd Didn't mean to offend anyone with links :)

People bashing the keyboard+mouse setup are missing a big part of the picture. I hate playing any sort of game that requires precise control (i.e. driving, aiming) on a controller period.- Its clumsy as fuck- I blame it much to the fact that you're depending on your idiotic thumb to make...

Hello, Trying to get a gaming rig to run stable, and would like any advice or ideas to at all what may be the problem and how to tackle it Components: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150494 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185...

Thanks for your reply I actually only tested them together. I've heard else where that this may be the problem. Like you, I am very very busy so hopefully later tonight I will have some time to test them separately. It may be a PSU problem, but i don't have an extra PSU to test with. I'm...

A little more than a month ago, I put together my first computer. Brand new parts all of which I bought from Newegg: Motherboard: GA-870A-UD3 AM3 Hard Drive: (First one out-right died after 5 days, RMA this one is working fine)Samsung Spinpoint F3 Video Card: XFX Radeon 5850 Processor...

Thank you everyone for your help. I took over my Hard Drive to a friends house and tried to see if it would work on his computer. Sure enough, it did not read on his BIOS. I called newegg and they are shipping me a new hard drive and RMA'ing the old one for free. :)
