    Purchasing new PC, got it down to two companies

    Hey, I would just like to say you might want to give AVA a look if you haven't even considered it. I have had my system for a few months now and I can honestly say that the customer service I experienced was top notch. There was a problem with my original Hard Drive (I don't think they could...

    Good experience with AVA Tech Support

    Good to hear someone else had a good experience with AVA. After they got me up and running and I have now had it for a few months I'm also glad I chose them. They have been helpful with any problem I had with my machine and even upgraded my hard drive when it caused a problem. I admit I was...

    The machine has been running great having no problems at all now. Chris sent me a new battery for the motherboard and it is now holding bios settings when its unplugged and the new Hard Drive is great, no problems.

    Problem with new AVA machine

    new drive installed and no problems as of yet. I guess the BSOD I got was related to DirectX but I don't know exactly what caused it, I've been playing some Far Cry 2 for the past couple hours and everything seems fine so far. I hope this will be the end of my troubles but only time will tell.

    Problem with new AVA machine

    ok just got the new drive but havent installed yet because I want to see what this error means, Also I figured out that my MB only loses bios settings if its unplugged which seems to be a problem among alot of P6T Deluxe boards (way to go ASUS :rolleyes:) This would mean that the settings AVA...

    Problem with new AVA machine

    Ok just got another BSOD while trying to launch Dawn of War 2 beta and this time it lasted long enough for me to write down this error number 0x0000007e (0xffffffff0000005) and dxgkrnl.sys were all in the error message. There were a few other number strings after the 0xffffffff0000005 but i...

    Problem with new AVA machine

    normally in this situation I would refund as I did with Ibuypower but I can't be without a computer now because I go to Ohio University and send in a lot of my assignments through email and I'm taking an online course. I just spoke with Chris again and he has agreed to send a new 1TB drive which...

    Problem with new AVA machine

    Well after speaking with Chris on the phone and him checking a few things he had me run memtest for 3 hours and it just finished with no errors. I guess the only thing that leaves is the HD or MB. I was going to write down the error when it blue screened but it flashed way to fast :(.

    Problem with new AVA machine

    Thanks Joe, I left Chris a message on the extension he gave me last week. I wanted to run memtest86 but didnt exactly know how and had no RW-CD around so I'll wait and see what they suggest. Im not ready to jump down AVA's throat about this because it seems like the comp works fine for a few...

    Problem with new AVA machine

    I am using the XMP profile and i believe the BCLK is set to 133. I was wondering though, Plug and Play O/S was disabled at default would this cause a problem like this?

    Problem with new AVA machine

    no overclocking and everything in the bios was set to defaults, I've tried different settings that were suggested to others after searching google but none have changed anything.

    Problem with new AVA machine

    I've ran CHKDSK and used Western Digital Lifeguard tool to do an extended test and both say the drive has no problems. When I ran Startup repair it said it attempted to fix errors but never did anything after running for over an hour.
