    damaged USB port catastrophe

    Hey just to be clear, the board doesn't post at all. I get not initialization of the display and no system beeps. I went to Circuit City and they said that the hard drive was intact. I swapped the motherboard and got a post with the same PSU, memory, hard drive, and graphics card so it has to be...

    ASUS A8R32-MVP die on me?

    Hey, what I would recommend is going to circuit city. Get one of their ridiculously priced PSUs, go home, test it out, and return it the same or next day. That's what I did today to troubleshoot my seemingly dead motherboard. I feel your pain man, hang in there.

    damaged USB port catastrophe

    Hey guys, So I replaced the power supply and the memory, both are brand new, and I'm getting the same problem. No initiation of the display and the HDD activity light is a constant red and not blinking. I've ruled out the video card, as I've said before, because I tried hooking everything up...

    damaged USB port catastrophe

    Oh okay, yeah I removed that. As I said before, I tried a different mobo as well so I think it very well might be the PSU.

    damaged USB port catastrophe

    I'm thinking it's the case because I got the same problem using a different motherboard. My question is, what could be broken on the case to cause this problem? To the second response, yes I removed that part on my own, it didn't break off by itself. Also, what front headers are you referring to?

    X2 5200 temp question

    So coretemp is telling me my two cores are idling at around 30c. When I run OCCT after 5 minutes those temps are hitting close to 60c. All my settings are stock as well as my heatsink. Should I stay away from overclocking given that the temps after 5 minutes under full load in OCCT are hitting...

    XP Pro memory sweet spot?

    Okay, so I have 2 gigs of ddr2 667 memory using XP Pro 32 bit. I do quite a bit of gaming and have some extra Christmas cash laying around. Would an extra gig of memory make a huge difference in the performance of my rig?

    CPU does make a difference

    That x2 3800 is much less powerful than the 6850, now throw something like an x2 5600 or 6000 in there and the disparity gap in performance would surely close.

    I hope AMD survives

    I admit, my knowledge of AMDs history is pretty limited so I never maintain a position that I know something definite about AMDs future. I do own an AM2 based system that I really like, currently own an a64 3800+ orleans, I'll be upgrading to an X2 5200 with that 2MB L2 cache, it's a whole lot...

    eVGA has it right

    I am currently undergoing an upgrade via the eVGA StepUp program where you can update your card to a better performing card within 90 days of purchase. This is an amazing program and I feel eVGA should be applauded for thinking outside the box, it sure feels like they care about their customers.

    AMD to release Athlon X2 6400+.

    This thread needs some spicing up, I think we should focus on the new processor and not arguing. How about performance, lets try and find some benchmarks on it.
