I'm upgrading an old computer and here is my question I mounted the motherboard in my case and saw smoke coming from it...I knew the motherboard was fried but could it have killed my other components like ram, video card, etc...Because since I've got a new motherboard and it still wont...

Well I've tried what you said and my system is completley stable at stock speeds but I get the same problems with the graphics card driver crashing in SLI I've tested both cards in seperate slots and alone and they work fine but the second i put them in SLI I cant play any games. The MSI is...

Alright I will try what you've suggested I guess I've been to eager to overclock my new phenom

Alright I've had plenty of issues with this computer but this has really been pissing me off I recently purchased a phenom 9850 and I flashed my bios so it would all work. So I've tried overclocking it and I can only get it to 2.8ghz but thats not really the problem. The problem is after I turn...

So is the 32-bit O/Ss inability to adress the ram on the 2nd card what is causing the constant display driver crashes I have been having?

ASUS seems to be good for bios support they have 9600 and 9500 support but what are the disadvantages to running an am2+ on an am2 board

I'm using the 169.25 drivers but I'm going to try the beta drivers to see if they make any difference. Yes I did enable SLI I'm not that much of a noob lol. I'm using a 24" monitor 1920x1200. So you really think that its the CPU that is killing it? or should I still at least be seeing some...

I recently purchased a 2nd 8800 ultra for my system and I have been having some problems with it first off here are my specs Microsoft Windows Vista 32-bit AMD atholon 64 X2 6400+ @ 3.46 ghz ASUS, CROSSHAIR, nForce 590 SLI mobo CORSAIR, 4GB (4 x 1GB) XMS2 PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz CL5 (5-5-5-12)...

The problem has been solved!!!! I downgraded the bios and it runs fine thanks all!!

Will flashing the bios with the same version do the same thing? or if not how far back in the bios updates should I go?

alright the overclocking is intentional I thought even a little is still an improvement 2nd as I stated before 3dmark06 is set at its default settings temperatures seem normal GPU idles at about 65C and 75ish on load but this card is known to run really hot Cpu is also reasonable temp I bought...
