    Power problems

    Make sure Wake on Lan is disabled in bios. Also I have worked on a couple computers that had a similar problem, but wouldn't go away untill I got rid of all spyware/virii or reformatted windows :(

    Best Gaming Mouse/Keyboard I could get?

    I would reccomend logitech products also. The have yet to let me down. I have experienced that "jumping" problems from all makes and model, some worse that others, but it seems to be limited to optical mice. I'm guessing its from dust between the light and the surface. I use an mx1000 and...

    PC Freezing/Crashing Intermittently

    I wouldn't be too confident in that PSU... it may not be your problem, but I wouldn't rule it out that quickly. How close are the rails to spec (under load)? And what are you using to monitor them? A nice multimeter, or the mobo monitoring software? Also what is the fluxation like?

    How do the HSF's go on the Intel Procs?

    On the top of each peg, there is a 1/4 circle arrow. The direction the arrow is pointing, is the way you turn it to remove it, so make sure when you are going to press it in, that it is not in the release position. Hmmm... I think I may have complicated the issue... Wish I wasn't too lazy to...

    Intake/Outtake Fan Question

    Hmmm, In my opinion, here is how you should set it up.... Ideally you would have an exahust fan high on the rear of the case (or even on top), intake fan low on the front of the case, and the cpu fan blowing down towards the cpu. My reasoning is this: Hot air rises, so most of the hot air...

    A silly question about the XP120 cooler...

    Yeah, I wouldn't worry much about the orientation if you can only fit it one way... I'm guessing it's the fan that is causing your temp issues. Also, for a prescott core, 66c doesn't seem to be "you better shut down" range... On stock cooling they can easily hit 70c in a room that has 80f...

    Arctic Ceramique or Arctic Alumina?

    If you are gonna buy fancy thermal compound, why not get AS5? Conductive? Well... keep it where it belongs, and no problems ;)

    What would cause a motherboard to stop putting out a video card signal?

    How are you sure it's "not putting out a video signal?" Sounds like a no POST. Does it load into windows? Like you see IDE activity then hear the windows chime, but see nothing?

    new mobo and video card problems

    Also, make sure the contacts on the vid card are clean... Use some high percentage isopropyl alcohol and clean them off with a lint free cloth.

    wow intel extream graphics

    thats pretty surprising... If you have an LCD monitor and want to play at native resolution (1024x768, 1280x1024), It will be hard to keep a good frame rate in Ironforge (If you aren't horde ;p).
