    Different BSOD on newish systems - help?

    Yes they are two kits (3x2gb)... narrowed down which of the two kits are faulty now. Had three sticks in yesterday and overnight, ram memtest for 17 hours with no errors. Think im good with these... Sticks are way past RMA for newegg, looks like i will be calling corsair after work.

    Different BSOD on newish systems - help?

    Found the problem... figured i would post the solution for others that might potentially have the same problem in the future. Ran memtest for a full 24 hours this time, not just 12... errors at the 22 hr mark! Since i have 6 sticks (2 sets) it's kind of hard to figure out which one is bad...

    Computer freezes up frequently

    Any graphical artifacts are a sure sign of a bad video card. I assume you use crossfire since you said dual video cards. Try with just one in and stress it, if no artifacts great! Try with the OTHER card in and stress it, if no artifacts then your motherboard might be damaged. Since you already...

Everything from steam...

    Asus p6t MB temp @ 60c?!?

    No the GTX 285s are not water cooled, nothing in the system is. I can't even install the mosfet fan the mobo came with cause the noctua blocks it. After researching a bit on ASUS forums I found they placed the temp sensor for "MB" right below the top most pci-e 16x slot. My guess is the heat...

    Asus p6t MB temp @ 60c?!?

    Saw another thread here with similiar issues using WC but it didnt really answer my question... plus I didn't want to hijack his thread. Anyways, after a long gaming session yesterday I noticed Asus probe reporting my "MB" temp at 60c. Now I have been out of the loop for a little bit with...

    Asus p6t MB temp too high? (60c)

    That's the weird thing, I touched the passively cooled heatsinks lightly when they were reporting 60c and they didnt feel too hot. I have had problems in the past with temp sensors on ASUS boards, hoping its not that.

    Who uses Anti Virus Software ?

    Hardware? We use symantec on OSX 10.5.7, I have taken many of laptops to the apple store for servicing and no one has ever said anything about the anti-virus software. Either way it's a requirement.

    Asus p6t MB temp too high? (60c)

    Title pretty much says it all, systen specs are current in the sig... Last night I was playing an extended session of TF2 and noticed ASUS probe going off. The "MB" temp was reporting 60c, the CPU was hovering around 53-55c. Ambient temp in the room is around 23c (74f). Now I know max temps for...

    Anyone installed the new Forceware 185.68 Vista 64-bit Beta drivers?

    How do you turn this feature on? I installed these drivers last night on vista x64 and didn't notice anymore options in game, is it something you enable through the driver? Wanna see how my new 285 gtx's handle this feature in CoD5 ;)

    Hissing, popping, crackling with DAC

    I searched head-fi and didn't find a solution that worked. Everyone just said use a mini -> TOSLINK , still waiting on mine in the mail.... However in the mean time AH HA! Fixed it! On vista right click on your sound icon in the task bar, click playback devices. Select the USB Audio...

    Hissing, popping, crackling with DAC

    They are both from headroom, the micro stack. The cracking and popping only happens when the system is stressed, with or without music playing. I assume its the video card being stressed causing interference to the usb bus. Seeing if anyone has ever had this problem before...
