cheers, dduckman. i just got repeating c1 post's this morning on 2v. on 2.2v i'd just get one c1 which would miraculously disappear once i switched it off and back on at the mains. tried each stick individually one was fine the other wouldn't work at all. so i went to aria this afternoon and...

i've just started to get intermittent c1 post errors on my ip35 pro. the first was last friday, the second today. the general consensus is that this is a ram problem. i have the dual channel 2 x 1gb bl12864aa804.16fd3 ballistix. i've had them running at spec timings and volts for around a...

1) you're probably right, i thought the same. but it's for the missus' mum. she's been very good to us, so i want to do the best possible for her. it just seemed a bit sluggish for what i was expecting. 2) realistically, it will never be under that sort of load. i'm sure a third party cooler...

a few pics to start... back in black http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=j5efsm&s=4 http://i33.tinypic.com/do2lhf.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/ka2pec.jpg a tricksy install, i'm sure you'll agree :D coupla questions, tho, if anyone can help... 1) i didn't need a sata boot floppy even...

i'll get one or two pics hosted tomorrow ... basic installation, hardly rocket surgery, tho :D finished the build yesterday, booted into the bios. not put an os on yet. all looks ok apart from the fact the cpu is idling at 52C, wtf? it's not exactly toasty here in manchester. my q6600 idles...

i like the solid nature of the boards they are producing. i would've got the asus if i was going full atx. i did have visions of her with a coolermaster stacker case in her living room, but alas, that was beyond the budget ... does anyone want to see pics of the installation :D

bought the parts today... beat the budget and went micro atx E7300 Gigabyte GA-G31MF-S2 WD 160GB Caviar 2GB Patriot DDR2 PC6400 Optiarc AD-7201 HP w2007v monitor Generic micro ATX case with 2x120mm fans :D £370. may need to use the extra £30 to buy a psu. i'll test the one that...

i'm seriously busy atm and you've saved me a few hours of research. i shall purchase the parts and build it for her next week. e7300 is a good price atm at my local supplier, microdirect - £85. cheaper than e7200 :eek: is there any major difference between the p5kpl and p5kpl-am ...

cheers, zero. the e7300 is probably nearer what she needs. it's not like she's going to start video editing or ripping dvd's. i still have to go round every month or so to back up her documents for her. i've showed her a dozen times but she's got the technofear :D

looking to build a desktop pc for about £300 for the mother-in-law :D i've not been in the loop since i built the rig in my sig last year. and don't usually build budget jobbies. there's always a sweet performance/price point that i'm sure the enthusiasts on here can help me find. no...

really that important? need to replace a saitek ecplipse (suprise) and a dodgy old logitech optical. is it worth splashing out more on a new kb and mouse. my experience with the eclipse tells me not. 6 months til fubar. trying to locate the receipt. so my question is this...should i...

sounds like a bad graphics card.

good or bad? i enabled it in the bios before installing xp. having a few problems and was wondering if i should disable it.

i'd be concerned if you can't pass both. a bit more tweaking would probably sort it tho.

indeed; why i edited my premature postulation:D
