Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Ok, so I've narrowed it down to either Mobo / CPU compatibility and/or Mobo / Memory compatibility (tested PSU and tried replacement video card)
Gigabyte lists the CPU on their list, but not the memory. I'll test some different DDR2 sticks tonight and hopefully will know.
Anyone else have...
It's only happening under two circumstances:
1. Cold boot
2. Change CMOS settings that results in the computer fully shutting off and then booting. It's strange, it seems that during bootup if the clock speed is shown on post it gets the BSOD. If the clock speed isn't shown, it boots just...
I may have it sorted out - it seems to only have BSOD issues the boot after I change any BIOS settings.
If I don't change the BIOS settings, I've tested it 10 times in a row with no issues. Anyone else have any issues with the GA-P35-DS3L?
So:
-Memtest confirmed good
-Prime 95 for 8 hours good
-Reinstalled Windows
-Reinstalled drivers, tried 11.8 and 11.9
Could be:
-Motherboard (Gigabyte P35-DS3L rev2)
-New video card (XFX HD 6870)
-New PSU (XFX Core 550W)
Any ideas where I should start? The only interesting thing that I...
I just installed Windows 7 64 bit along with a new PSU and graphics card, and now I'm getting BSOD intermittently at startup. The only time I'm getting the blue screen at all is right when windows boots, about 50% of the time. Here's my set up:
e5200 @ 3.75 ghz
HD 6870 @ stock
XFX Core...
I'm buying a new PSU - it needs to power:
Q9650 LGA 775
HD 6870
1x HDD
2x DVD
What should I get? I have some gift cards from Amazon, so I need to get it from there. I'm leaning toward the Antec Basic 550W and the XFX Core Edition 550W
No, but just doing the math:
Used/new quad core LGA 775 - $300
Power supply - $50
Video Card - $200
Around $550 total (not incl. monitor)
vs. new system
LGA 1155 mobo - $100
Processor - $180 or so (i5)
Video card $200 (Ti 560)
Power supply - $50
Memory - $60
Around $590 total...
Would there be any advantage with going for a 560 Ti with my system?
If not, would upgrading to a quad core LGA 775 do anything for me (with a ~560 Ti caliber card)?
Accidentally posted in general video cards - deleted that one -
I have an older computer than I'm trying to get up to snuff for games like BF3 that are coming up. Here's what I've got:
E5200 @ 3.75ghz
4GB RAM
400 watt psu (Antec)
7200 RPM HDD
Video card is 7600 GT
I have around...
