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.

Does anybody know if you can have a bad PCI-E slot in a s3027c? I've been on a mission to replace my broken 8500GT card, which had been running for about 8 months then suddenly the card would not post. I did all the normal troubleshooting, but nothing. So I determined that the card stopped...- travisc77

Looks like between the HD 4550 and the 9400GT. Lots of 9400GT's for sale at Newegg but I cannot find any info on power consumption. The 9500GT may work, but I do not want to push my luck.- travisc77

OK, I have done some surfing for a replacement and have some results I'd like for you guys to comment. This will replace my sons 8500GT, and I would like similar performance (he only plays HL2, Oblivion, Garrys Mod, Halo 2 vista, Battlefield etc. Most likely candidates (max power draw) 1...- travisc77

Archaea- Glad you mentioned the ATI 4550, I was having some trouble finding the 9500GS. Thanks Travis- travisc77

Archaea- That's exactly what I needed. The 9500GS should do the trick, maybe even a bit faster than the previous 8500GT. Don't want to push it, for sure. Thanks a million, off to find the 9500GS. Travis- travisc77

I have a 3220n, replaced the stock CPU with 45 watt and upgraded the video with a 8500GT for my son, no other PCI cards or USB devices. Been running fine for the last 8 months until the card crapped out. I can't even get it to post. Since I need to replace it, I thought about what else...- travisc77

Just received my Acer Aspire One...
Newegg just received the 160gb 6 cells in yesterday and they are already sold out. They only had the brown color, but I got one. It will be in Friday. They do have black 120GB Xp units in with the 3 cell for $349.99.- travisc77

I want to thank Archaea and this board for for determining some of upgrade/power issues associated with these little HP's. Unfortunately I didn't find this board until after I purchased my s3027c on Ebay, so I upgraded the unit for my son. He's into some older games (Oblivion, Halo 2...- travisc77

Arcaea- Will it work with the BE-2300 & BE-2350 as well? I assume it will. Thanks- travisc77

Can someone confirm that the Pavilion s3027c w/ the HematiteXL-GL8E motherboard can use the Athlon BE-2400 45w CPU? For that matter, can it use the BE-2300 & 2350? If so, is it this BIOS update?: Release Date: 2008-05-06 Version: 5.07 Description - M2NC51-AR Motherboard...- travisc77

I've read the board pretty good and I think know the answer, but will ask anyway. I upgraded my s3027n (stock Athlon x2 4000+) with 2 GB ram and a 8500GT. Looks like I'm getting the same issue Archea had in that I'm overloading the power supply at some point when in Power User energy status...- travisc77

Since I just bought the unit, I didn't have a restore point that I made so I used one from the previous owner. It didn't work. I think the card just stopped working. I even tried opening up and plugging it into different USB ports on the motherboard, nothing. It doesn't even recognize it...- travisc77

My Wireless NIC (WN4300R) built into the s3027c just disappeared tonight. Just bought the unit tonight and worked fine, then in my routine cleanup of old unused programs it required a restart of Vista. Apparently there was a Windows Update pending and after the restart, nothing. The NIC will...- travisc77
