    PSU failure after adding HDs

    I feel like an idiot but apparently my wife decided to mix together all the cables from my Enermax Liberty and Corsair PSUs into one box and when I went looking for a cable with a SATA connector I must've picked the Enermax one out...which connected to the Corsair connector designed for PCI-E...

    PSU failure after adding HDs

    It was a cable that plugged into the same type of port on the PSU that the 8800GT cord plugs into. It had 2 SATA connectors and 2 4plug molex connectors on it.

    PSU failure after adding HDs

    Yesterday I tried to add 2 new HDs to my current setup below. They were both WD640AAKS SATA drives. I connected all 3 drives using a single connector (the raptor with one of the 4pin connectors and the 2 new drives with the sata power connectors). As soon as I booted the computer I got the...

    E6750 GA-DS3L Overclock - Question

    Ok I left the Vcore at auto and it seems to run fine for several hours, tops out at 1.37-1.39v on everest. I'm happy with 3.2 Ghz for now, at least until I can see if I even notice a difference in performance in everyday use :) thanks for the reply! P.S. Is Vcore a static # or does the...

    E6750 GA-DS3L Overclock - Question

    I just put together my new computer a couple of weeks ago and finally have things stable enough to where I tried an overclock. I'm relatively new at this, have done minimal overclocks in the past but this is the "largest" I've tried so far. E6750 GA-DS3L Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 Arctic cooling...

    RAM problem w/memtest

    Alright. Good stick ran for 8 hours no errors (14 passes) Bad stick at 1.9v 20 running now....106 errors first pass. Does it mean anything that it's always the exact same error? Good: 20000000 Bad: 22000000 Anyway I imagine this means RMA-time? They're a kit from newegg so...

    RAM problem w/memtest

    Ok more results. I tested each stick separately for an hour each. Both in slot1. The first stick had 0 errors, the second stick had 105 errors. All the errors occurred during test#6 and were exactly the same. No errors occurred with the other tests. The G.skill site says the RAM is...

    RAM problem w/memtest

    I had a quick question about my RAM. I just build a computer with the parts below. Since I've had it I've been having problems in games with occasional display driver failures and directx errors that occasionally cause the game to crash. I've tried all the different drivers/BIOS settings with...

    Vista install going extremely slowly - problem?

    Ok I just put together a new build. Everything was working fine when I logged into windows xp and backed up my drives so that I can do a clean install of Vista 64. When I boot from the vista dvd it takes 5 minutes to get to the first screen, where it asks language, etc. Then each step...

    Can I use my 32bit vista key with a friend's 64bit dvd?

    Ok I just received my retail copy of Vista Home Premium yesterday. I'm planning to use 64bit VIsta because I've got 4GB RAM. I was planning to order the 64bit DVD version online but was wondering if I could just burn a copy of my friend's retail Vista Ultimate DVD and install it using my...
