I had a problem with my 7600GT freezing on certain web pages, but not in games, etc. It would freeze when flash animation was played (whole PC would lock up and need to be reset). This is my power supply: Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 ATX12V 500W Power Supply...

I just got a 7600GT and installed it. This is my send time around with this particular card. The first one I got, I thought there was something wrong with it and RMA'd it. I went back to my 6600GT (AGP) and everything was fine. I decided to try this card again and it did the same thing the one I...

I was overclocking my CPU for the first time ever the other day and blew my garbage power supply. So, I went to the store and picked up a decent Antec PSU 500watt. My Specs: AMD 2800+ Barton Core - Socket A ASUS A7N8X v2.0 Stock AMD Heatsink and Fan nVidia 6600GT Well, it's been...

I am doing a big upgrade and stepping into Athlon 64 Territory with the purchase of an ASUS SLI PCI-E Mobo, an Athlon XP 64 3500+ and a Radeon X800GT 256MB which I plan to overclock. Here's the link on the power supply in question...

Hi. Just joined. A friend of mine turned me on to this forum. Seems pretty popular and decent! So, here goes my epic. Starting at the end of this month, I'm gonna start my 3 paycheck odyssey to completely upgrade my machine. Here is what I have now: - AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (Socket 7) -...
