    Help with my build please - no video?

    I bought a 2nd video card this morning, a PNY 7300 GS, and had the same results. So, is the general consensus the processor is at fault, or should I try swapping out the motherboard as well?

    Help with my build please - no video?

    I mean that everything seems to work as it should but the video. The hard drives both spin up, they attempt to access a couple seconds after power is pressed, fans spin up, etc. The hard drives do not spin up and attempt access if the ram is removed. I tried using each stick independantly to...

    Help with my build please - no video?

    I have removed and re-seated the processor and heatsink, didn't have an effect. Don't have enough thermal paste to try again. I think the basics are functioning properly. If you try to boot without ram, it goes nowhere, same with CPU. If you boot with, it starts as you would expect, and...

    Help with my build please - no video?

    I don't have another PCI Express card to try - my previous system had AGP. I have tried the card in both sockets. The auxillary power to the card is connected and its fan spins up. After unmounting everything and re-installing, I reset the CMOS for good measure but have had no luck.

    Help with my build please - no video?

    I put together the parts for my new system yesterday, but am not having success. When the power button is pressed, the fans all come on, the hard drive acess light lights, everything does what it should, except no video comes up on the display. There are no beep codes or anything. The display...

    256 vs 512 MB ram - Worth the extra cost?

    Thanks for the responses. For the mystery 512 card, it was an erroneous discription Monarch had up for a bit on an eVGA KO Superclock. I did order one from them, but when you search by item number, it now shows up as the KO Superclock. At the time it said it was a new item, and as...

    256 vs 512 MB ram - Worth the extra cost?

    I'm building up my sytem right now and looking at getting a 7900 GT. Some of them out there have 512 ram vs the normal 256. If the price difference is ~$40 (I'm fairly price sensitive here) is it worth the extra cost? Will I see improved performance? Thanks, J

    Titan water case - anyone tried this?

    Has anyone here tried the Titan water case? I'm liking how the radiators are integrated into the case, but does it actually function well? Does it have good flow? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811107001 Thanks, J

    headset and speakers at the same time?

    Hi all, Probably a dumb question, but I am wanting to play audio from games using a speaker set-up and play audio from voice communication (skype, teamspeak, etc.) through a mono mic headset simultaneously. Is there some easy way to do this? I am using logitech 5500 speakers, and the...

    Raptor and bigger, slower, vs raid 5?

    I'm looking at a new set-up using either a Raptor 74GB drive to run the OS and games and a ~$100 250-300 GB drive for storage and an image of the OS drive, or getting 3 WD Caviars running in a RAID 5 config. Which am I likely to have better performance with? I don't do too much work with large...

    Samsung 'HHDs'?

    I was just wondering if anyone had any info on Samsung's HHDs they are planning on introducing to go along side Vista? I found this link, http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200605/kt2006050116405310160.htm but am wondering if any of you have heard any semi-firm...

    Several Intel questions

    I have several Intel questions, mostly general stuff. I am building a new system and have planned on going with AMD for quite a while, but with the recent price cuts for the D 900 series processors I'm going for the Intel I think. But, I have a few general questions, as I don't know too much...

    x1800GTO crossfire or x1900XT?

    The 'geek factor' and the two shiny cards in my clear-sided case, along with actually a cheaper cost than the 1900 are pushing me toward the crossfire setup. But... Given that I will have a 3200 motherboard and power to supply a crossfire setup with either card, all I'm really interested in...

    x1800GTO crossfire or x1900XT?

    I'm building a new setup, and looking to get ATI on board for pixel duty. Would I be better off going with 2 X1800GTOs in crossfire or with an x1900XT? The pricing is comparable, but what about performance? Anyone have any experience with the X1800GTOs? Can they be unlocked to 16...

    EPoX EP-9NPA+ SLi overclocking/performance?

    I'm thinking that it will serve me fine for now, looks like it does what I want it to and from what I can tell does it well. Unless someone steers me otherwise, it looks like this is going to be my board. Just not seeing why I should pay 60 bucks more for a similar, 'enthusiast' branded board...

    EPoX EP-9NPA+ SLi overclocking/performance?

    I am wondering how this board handles overclocks and how it performs in general? Have been searching and can't find too much specific information on it. I'm working on building a new system that will be running 2 gigs G.Skill Extreme ram, opty 165, and 2 7900GTs. Do any of these have known...

    Mid-higher gaming PC build - critique please

    looks nice, but the wife would kill me for buying a $700 monitor when we still have a 20" TV (TV's her thing, computing mine. :) ) I picked that MS mouse because it was the cheapest decent laser mouse I could find. J

    Mid-higher gaming PC build - critique please

    At that point then, would I be better with a 165 opty and maybe two 7900 GTs in SLI, or the 4200 with the 7900 GTX?

    Mid-higher gaming PC build - critique please

    I'm looking down the road a bit - I'm not going to have cash flow to be buying lots of new stuff for at least another year. Any new stuff will likely be limited to a newer video chipset in a year or so. I also like to multitask and run large photoshop files, so I want to keep the hd swaps to a...

    Mid-higher gaming PC build - critique please

    I'm working on a ground-up system build mainly for gaming and general browsing and such, including display, keyboard and mouse. The only things I have that I'm going to be using are a case, CDRW and CD drive, and a floppy drive for the RAID install. I have a pretty firm budget of $2000...
