    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    thanks for the compliments. making the layout for the lcd to fit in the frame wasnt too complicated. the hardest part was actually finding a frame to fit an lcd and the tuner components. im not that impressed with the overall look of the tubes, but at the time i had no choice. i would...

    Format after replacing motherboard with same model?

    random errors are that the programs in windows will quit for no reason when they didnt before. boot and nuke? is that reformating or not? not trying to sound naive. just a phrase i havent heard of.

    Format after replacing motherboard with same model?

    pretty straight-forward question here i think. I just rma'd my p4p out and got a new one back. i put it back in the box with nothing else changing and i get random errors sometimes. The worse part is that my 6600gt is waaay under performing and im wondering if thats because i needed to reformat...

    Simple question needs simpler answer (PSU related)

    first, i appreciate the help so far. second, i removed everything from the board (cpu and mem, and video too) and still no post. So i guess I am to assume its the PSU? This truly sucks. But it would be 100 times better than a fried CPU. Any other tricks, or is this where Im at?

    Simple question needs simpler answer (PSU related)

    Computer wont post. RMA'd the motherboard and just got the new one today. I sincerely dont think the CPU is toast. Therefore, can a PSU be bad, yet still turn on the fans (3), video card, and hdd but not post. Is this possible? Thanks

    Does a burnt or fried processor show visual evidence?

    My computer wouldnt post. I narrowed it down to the motherboard or the CPU. Just to be sure, I RMA'd the motherboard. I probably wont see it for another week or so, but Im still worried that it might actually be the CPU. I dont have another computer to put the CPU into to test. The PSU is fine...
