Hey, I'm planning to upgrade my video card but I have one problem. I want to know what's the best card I can get before my 3500+ bottlenecks it. Price is not a difference. ASUS A8N5X 3500+ Venice [AC Freezer 64 Pro] 2GB Corsair Sapphire x800 @ 432/1002 Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W

amazing dude. very creative.

Yeah, no avail.

I can try my RAM in another system, but my bro's comp is Intel-based so no luck with the CPU.

Ok, so i just took apart my computer and put the mobo (only cpu and HSF connected) on a grounded surface. I attached the 24 pin cable to it and it started making the same noise.

Thanks a bunch for the help alphanumeric. I don't hear beeps when I try to power it up. It doesn't respond to the power switch at all. I checked it again and all of the cables are neatly separated. The extra 4 wire power cable is connected to the motherboard (always was). Later, I'll remove and...

The problem with checking the BIOS is that no monitors that I plug in are recognized (they turn on, but act as if they aren't plugged into something).

Yeah, actually works like a beauty :)

Yeah, any power supply (I have 2 extra cheapo PSUs I tried out) makes that squealing sound with mine. It didn't recognize the monitor, so I can't tell if it posts. Also, I found out that it doesn't turn on using the power switch on the front of the case and that the fans run on highest speeds..

their technical support sucks ass.

i can't even check my BIOS. It doesn't recognize any monitor that's plugged in.

Hey, my computer just began turning on automatically today. I went to clean up the wire management and tried turning on my computer. It didn't work. I checked the wire connections 4 times and they were perfectly fine. So i tried turning it on again and no luck :( I checked the wires one more...

Hey, I have about $150 to blow on upgrading my PC now. Should i spend it on anything? Or just wait for a major upgrade? MSI K8N-Neo4 // 3500+ Venice w/ AC Freezer 64 Pro 2GB Corsair // Sapphire x800 @ 432/1002 Maxtor 6L1P020 114GB // Maxtor 6L200R0 189GB 19" NEC P1150 // Antec SPII 500W

Hey, i'm looking to upgrade something soon and I wanted to know if I should upgrade from my Soundblaster Live! 7.1 to a X-fi XtremeMusic card. Will the difference be noticable? I'm also planning to pick up a pair of cans along with it. Thanks in advance.
