    Case Selection Help

    Hello all, I'm building my first PC in 5 years. Have all my components pretty much narrowed down, however, I'm having trouble debating over the right case. It's already been quite a task to get myself caught up with all the newest hardware (GPUs, CPUs, SSD,etc), and I'm really struggling...

    upgrading from x1900xtx to 8800gt, not booting

    I upgraded the power supply (wanted/needed to anyway) but I'm still having the same issue. I have not yet tried the old video card as I was using a watercooled system and I can't find the screws to fasten the original air-cooler to the GPU. I will be doing so tommorrow. I anticipate it...

    upgrading from x1900xtx to 8800gt, not booting

    Yes, everything is plugged in and accounted for. I've already done a tear-down and rebuild to make sure. Each rail is delivering the correct voltage...ah ha!! The PSU (550W) 6-pin rails are listed as 18A, but I believe the card needs 24A. Perhaps that's the problem. The GPU fan is still...

    upgrading from x1900xtx to 8800gt, not booting

    Exchanged the card since I only bought it today anyway, installed the new one and getting the same problem. This is very similar to when I first built this PC with a Core 2 Duo (E6600). The system wouldn't post despite ASUS saying it was Core 2 ready. After 2 RMA's and a bit of complaining...

    upgrading from x1900xtx to 8800gt, not booting

    I'm using a P5W DH Deluxe motherboard and I wanted to ugrade to an 8800GT (1GB version). I put in the new card and powered on the PC. Everything came on, GPU and CPU fans powered up, but no display, no beeps, no sound of hard-drives firing up, CD drives are unresponsive (no lights, won't...

    Troubleshooting after replaced Power Supply

    The computer IS booting. It's going through BIOS and going right to the Windows Loading screen. That's where all the power cuts out and the PC shuts down. Throughout the booting process though it is putting out that repetitive beep. Would a reformat and reinstall of Windows help? Obviously...

    Troubleshooting after replaced Power Supply

    Working with my girlfriend's father's PC, so I am not intricately familiar with it's setup. I'll come back with more details after I collect them, just wanted to make a generic post to see if it was some simply solution. INITIAL PROBLEM: The PC was not powering up, only the front LED would...

    P5W DH Installed, but searching for boot disk?

    I did. The priorty is correct. I did some searching since I posted this, and I found a thread where someone was preparing to change mobos. They said booting off my Windows disk and running a "repair" option will fix it right up. Also to remove any extra drives and sound card when booting...

    P5W DH Installed, but searching for boot disk?

    Hey everyone, I'm somewhat of a n00b to computers and this is really my first build. I had issues with the P5W DH Deluxe working with my new rig. I had to RMA the board twice, and in the meantime I was running my system off of a cheap intel mobo. I just got an RMA'd P5W last night and it...

    P5W DH Deluxe, no post, BIOS issue?

    got a new CMOS chip today, plugged it in, same problem. Powers up, but blank screen, no beeps, nothing. Really getting fed up with this. :(

    P5W DH Deluxe, no post, BIOS issue?

    As far as I could tell the fan was spinning up and running just fine. Like I said, there's also no beeps. If it was a display issue, I would think I would still hear beeps or at least some other sounds other than just the fans powering on. Again, as soon as I put in the other motherboard...
