    Dell 22" monitor (SP2208WFP) for $239+FS

    Received mine today. Unfortunately it had some dead pixels and the display quality does not even compare to my 19" Philips 190S. :( UPS is picking it up tomorrow for return.

    Dell 22" monitor (SP2208WFP) for $239+FS

    I've been reading a lot of reviews on this and many people are complaining about a splotchy text issue. Anyone know about this? Would it be because most of them are probably using intel integrated graphics? I have a 8800 GT and really want this monitor, I'm about to splurge Thanks

    First time Overclocker, this OC going to be ok?

    I'm not sure which is the CPU temp on SpeedFan, but "Temp 1" stayed at 30C while "Temp 2" rose to 51C while using Orthos.

    First time Overclocker, this OC going to be ok?

    Hi, I'm fairly new to overclocking and was wondering if this OC and the way I did it is going to be safe/stable. (My build specs are in sig) I went to the BIOS and changed to 400x8 so it's running at 3.2GHz, 29C Idle. I put the voltages on Auto instead of Manual. Then I overclocked my...

    Is there any remedy to the P35 DS3x cold boot syndrome?

    Really, let me know how the replacement goes if you would please. Anyway, I just chatted with a Newegg support representative and they've issued me a RMA refund with no restocking fee. Should I take that route and get another motherboard, or try a replacement?

    8800GT causing improper boot

    I tried both memory sticks. I've just updated my BIOS to the newest version and it just booted up fine; doubt it will fix it though. I've been searching this all over Google, even this forum, and apparently this cold boot issue is a plague among many of these P35 DS3 boards. I guess if all comes...

    8800GT causing improper boot

    Okay, I've tested everything with the minimum amount of components, CPU, 1 stick of ram, the PSU; It failed again. Each component is using its own power cable. 1 for GPU, 1 for dvdrom, 1 for hdd, and 1 for the fans. How can I reset my BIOS?

    8800GT causing improper boot

    What do you mean by "Make sure you have your 12V rails sorted between devices." ? Also, how would I go about reseting the BIOS? Should I try updating the BIOS if there is one? Thanks

    8800GT causing improper boot

    I had it in my old rig (one in my sig) for about 3 days before I put my new one together. Everything worked fine. I've already decided that it can't be the video card because I took it out completely and it did the same thing.

    8800GT causing improper boot

    The only thing I touched in the BIOS was disabled the Auto CPU fan so it spins at full speed. I have nothing overclocked. I eliminated my video card being the source of this problem because I completely took it out and it still does it. I really hope I didn't get a defective PSU. Everyone i see...

    8800GT causing improper boot

    Okay, I tried booting it this morning, and it happened again. It seems to do this after being off for a longer period of time, maybe after it cools down. I tried taking the card out completely again and it started and shut off even faster. I don't know what the problem is, every cord is in...

    8800GT causing improper boot

    Okay, I took out the card completely, and it seemed to boot properly (even though I had no video to tell, however it did take me to the "do you want to boot windows normally or in safe mode" menu so that's why I guess it booted right.) I also switched out the PCIE power cord with the other one...

    8800GT causing improper boot

    No it's a single PCI-E board. But I'll try taking it out completely.
