    Computer will not post

    I just wanted to thank you guys for the help! I tried each remedy, and of course, the last thing I tried was the cause. Turns out, both sticks of ram are dead. I put off new ram because I had no idea how cheap it is now. I built the computer a year and a half ago, and the 2 gigs I had cost...

    Computer will not post

    :( Well, I tried, but no luck. I swapped the ram around, different sticks in different slots, same thing each time. On another note, there are no beeps, but the bios beeps do not typically come from the external speakers, am I correct? This mobo does not have an integrated speaker, and...

    Need help diagnosing a problem.

    This is driving me crazy! I took your advice, kumquat, and tested for temps, I turned my fan speed up to 100% with ati traytools, it it brought temps down to 38*C. I loaded HL2, and it started up fine and ran normally. Next step, try a hot card. I set fan control back to auto, and...

    Need help diagnosing a problem.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention it in my post, I have not overclocked anything on the PC, only changed my memory timings. My temps, according to ATI traytools, the highest temp I have seen while gaming has been around 70*C, and normally it hovers around 42*C.

    Need help diagnosing a problem.

    Well back in November I posted with a problem regarding my X1950pro. I ended up returning it to Newegg and replacing it with a 1950xt since all the 1950pros were gone. Everything has been peachy with the xt, until last night. I was merging all my old email to my new pc, installed outlook...

    x1950pro Artifacting

    Thanks for the quick responses! Well, I originally had Overdrive enabled but disabled after a while since I didn't notice much improvement. I installed AtiTool and upped the fan to 100% and it brought the idle temps to a steady 40C. I started up Oblivion, all was fine for a good 30...

    question on replacing cpu

    Thanks for all the responses! Well, after hearing all this, I feel the easiest and cheapest way will be the ebay route. He may have to get a downgrade to 2.8 or 2.6 Ghz, as I don't see many at 3 on ebay right now. Now I have a second question, is the old CPU salvageable, meaning, can it...

    question on replacing cpu

    Well, I've seen many "how the noob broke the computer" threads, but this is a new one to me, and I could use some help from you guys. It all started with my brother trying to clean his computer. He decided that he could probably clean the heatsink a lot better if he took it out. Should be...
