    I just did that before running memtest. Cleaned up all the dust too and added an extra fan on the heatsink. Memtest finished with no errors.

    Symptoms: Randomly reboots sometimes, or sometimes just freezes up. Freezes up as in the screen is stuck as is and the mouse/keyboard doesnt work. I have to hit the reset button. I assumed this was the power supply, that was the first thing I swapped out. Did not help. Next was a fresh...

    ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Z68 Chipset Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I run a 3 monitor setup now with a 5850 (dvi/dvi/displayport). So if I get this z68 board, I can attach the displayport monitor to the dvi port on the mobo and have it work fine? Will it work fine in an eyefinity setup for gaming?

    Gskill Sniper 1600 vs Ripjaws X 1333 ? (2x4gb)

    Newegg has both of these on sale for about the same price. I am buying up for my upcoming SB upgrade, so which would be the better buy? I was planning to buy up 2 sets for 16gb total. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416...

    Q6600 Upgrade

    I need to be able to use the quicksync (video encoding), support discrete graphics and be able to overclock the processor, and as far as I know, only z68 can do those.

    Q6600 Upgrade

    I'm in a similar situation and my plan now is to wait till next month till the z68 chipsets hit and then upgrade. Probably going to splurge on a 2600k though.

    Windows Experience scores with/without discrete card

    Before putting a discrete card in, my RAM score was a 5.4. I put in a cheapo Geforce 210 card and my RAM score jumped to a 7.5. Desktop graphics score went from 4.4 to 4.5. Can anyone tell me why adding a discrete graphics card boosted the RAM score in the benchmark? The ram in...

    What's taking up my RAM?

    Ok, I found the culprit. It seems that some of the files that I downloaded (from firefox, from newsbin etc) are loaded into memory. I see a bunch of video files (1gb+) in memory that should not be residing there. How can I find out which process is "locking" this file/space? How can I free...

    What's taking up my RAM?

    No errors, but everything starts to feel sluggish with 90%+ of ram being "in use". I'll try the program in 10 days or so when I get to the same place. I had to give up and reboot soon after making the initial post.

    Internet stops working after ~15 days of uptime

    I looked into it a while ago and it was about some networking cache being full. What happens is that nothing will load. Browsers will just show a white screen. Refreshing would sometimes load the page, sometimes without css. Sometimes without images. Sometimes, not at all. Any ideas?

    Remote access question I need to work on my dads computer out of town.

    I personally prefer VNC (realVNC version). Once you set it up, it is easy to connect through a VNC client or through any browser using a java applet.

    Slow speeds in network

    I have two PCs connected using a Trendnet Gigabit Switch (TEG-S5G). DHCP is handled by a router, but that should not impact the file transfer between the computers. Primary computer has a onboard gigabit NIC and computer2 has a PCI gigabit nic, however, I cant seem to get file transfers over...

    E3300 FSB/DRAM Question

    So I saw that the rated FSB of this processor was 800mhz, so I got RAM that was 800mhz to match the FSB. However, when I run CPUZ, it says that the FSB:DRAM ratio is 1:2. The CPU tab says that the "Rated FSB" is 800mhz, but the bus speed is 200mhz. I assumed that rated FSB = Bus speed X...

    Win 7: How to prevent Outlook emails from showing up in start menu search

    I use the computer 99% of the time, so a separate account is unnecessary. However, I use the laptop to VNC in a lot, and I'd rather not have viagra ads popping up when I'm showing something to somebody ;)

    Where do you buy your computer parts?

    Search through slickdeals.com and create alerts for when these parts are posted. Sure you wont find them at once, but it'll save you $ if you're not in a hurry.

    Static/interference with front panel onboard HD audio

    I have 5.1 speakers going into the rear outlet, but I ordered a 3.5mm splitter to the back to see how it'll work. I'm surprised that Antec doesnt have any kind of fix for this.
