    BSOD's out of Nowhere

    Computer was given me lots of trouble a couple months ago. Got an RMA on the MOBO and it's been working absolutely perfect for the past month. Out of nowhere yesterday the computer just stopped and now I'm getting blue screens. Haven't upgrade or downloaded anything recently. Here's the blue...

    Seagate Barracuda 7200.10s plagued?

    My drive's been making clicking noises. I tried to run SeaTools but it gives me an error and it won't detect any hard drives. Windows detects it... Computer froze when i ran chkdsk.

    Windows Vista Index Score and New Ram

    Ok. Here goes. Got my CPU to 3.0 ghz by changing frequencies to 1333 mhz. Also changed my voltages which allowed me to do this. Changed them to CPU core 1.35v, CPU FSB to 1.3v, Memory still at 2.1v, Nforce SPP at 1.4v. My memory and FSB are unlinked at 1333 CPU FSB and 800 mhz memory. Timings...

    Windows Vista Index Score and New Ram

    Little Update: I've was able to change my memory timings after I upped the voltage to 2.1v. My timings are now 4-5-5-13 1t. It really didn't like when I messed with the RRD,RC,WR,and WTR timings,(wouldn't boot, reset to normal settings) so I had to keep them on auto. While I was able to change...

    Windows Vista Index Score and New Ram

    Thanks for the replies. My memory timing is 5-5-5-15 (or something real close to that maybe 5-5-5-12). I've tried messing around with the timings, but everytime I change them in bios save and exit, they go back to the normal timings. Very frustrating. I haven't updated my bios, so I'll try that...

    Windows Vista Index Score and New Ram

    Hey guys, just finished my new build. Anyway, everything seems to be working fine however I've run into two things that have been bothering me. All my scores in the Vista index score seem to be fine except for my memory score which is a 5.0. I don't think this is normal because my friend has a...

    is this OCZ a good memory choice?

    Hey, I just got this ram and I had a question about it so I'll just post here instead of starting a new thread. To put it simply, my lowest index subscore in Vista is my ram with a score of 5.0. I was wondering if this is typical with this ram or if it's not normal and I need to do some...
