Mine is only at 102.

I am having a similar problem and looking for answers. I have raid0 on vista 64 (Gigabyte GA-P35c-DS3R motherboard). After changing a BIOS setting in order to get MemTest to work (changing it from RAID to disabled), it would no longer boot (I did change it back to RAID afterwards). It says...

I am having a similar problem. After changing some BIOS settings my raid-0 array showed up as "failed" and would not boot. After a few restarts it seeming fixed itself (went back to "normal") and booted up into vista. But now one of the partitions on the drive (the storage partition) is not...

and yes, i have an sata dvd burner

It was set to raid. After disabling memtest worked just fine. Thanks so much.

Thats about it. Any idea why? Vista Ultimate 64 is installed. But when booting from a ubuntu disk and selected "memory test" the screen clears and the only thing left is the white bar cursor in the top left corner. It just constantly blinks, nothing ever happens. I have tried other disks...

EDIT: I just set the MCH to .2V instead of 0.1V and it works. thanks for the help. EDIT 2: I tried continuing on with the guide, and overclocking the fsb to 375 (instead of 333) and I got the same error immediately after starting prime95. I went back to the baseline (with .2 MCH) and tried...

I am trying to overclock my new computer (first desktop I've had) and I ran into some trouble. I followed the instruction on the front page, after setting the baseline values and loading windows, I opened Core Temp and CPU-z. Then I opened Prime95 25.2 (the Orthos from the link on the front...

I'm building my first computer, so bear with me, I still have a lot to learn. I have 2 160GB Western Digital HDDs (both the same model #). I am wondering whether or not to setup a RAID array. My motherboard (GA-P35C-DS3R) supports 0/1/0+1/5. I also have an 100GB IDE hard drive from an old...

What do you mean by using the features of vista? You don't need a DX10 card, right? Does DX10 have any benefits not related to gaming?

So it really doesn't matter for me. Is there any benefit at all in a better, older card? Should I look for something used, an old higher end card either in a forum or on craigslist? Or just get a cheap new card from newegg?

How much does the video card matter for someone who does not play any games? Does a better video card make any difference for other computer uses such as watching movies? What is the best value card under $100 or so for this, that would be able to run Vista with no problems?
