    New Shuttle Build Won't Post, Video Signal Not Recognized

    PC is up and running fine. Vista recognizes all 4 GB RAM in the OS. I guess the BIOS msg is a fluke. Thanks for all of the tips! CASE CLOSED

    New Shuttle Build Won't Post, Video Signal Not Recognized

    UPDATE: Took out one stick of RAM (I have 2 x 2GB RAM sticks).. PC boots fine. However, PC is seeing the one RAM stick as 512MB instead of 2 GB which is odd. I am going to check BIOS to see if there is a setting I need to change or something.

    New Shuttle Build Won't Post, Video Signal Not Recognized

    I will try taking out a memory stick and then strip out components to trouble shoot. If that fails then I'll have to pop in a less powerful GPU to test that theory. However, I spoke to several people running 9800 (or equivalents) in Shuttles w/o problem so the PSU should not be an issue. The...

    Please Rate My Build, Any Suggestions?

    One last question: Should I use a heatsink/cooler other than the stock CPU heatsink? Suggestion please? People seem to like the Thermalright Ultra 120s. Is that a good solution? Remember I'm not OCing... Lastly, when installing Vista Ultimate 64bit, there used to be a problem if you...

    HELP! need upgrade for AoC

    Your video card is the main culprit. Get an 8800GT or above. Also, another 1GB of RAM (you might have to add 2GB but won'tt be able to utilize on 32bit OS) would help. I run AoC on a e6600, 3 GB, 8800GT, Vista Ultimate 32 With default HIGH settings, Bloom ON, I get 40+FPS on average...

    Thanks for the tip on the RAM. 4 sounds like it will be adequate. After more reading, I am going to stick with the D3R mobo. I'll take a look at the 8800GTS. The consensus seems to be to go GTS at the prices you can get one for now. thanks!

    Have not built a system for a few years and not up on latest tech. I am building this for gaming. Using Ultimate 64bit OS. I already have HDs and DVD drives: Case: Antec P182 - I picked this because it seems system would stay cooler. Should I go full tower due to size of 8800 cards and...
