Hells yeah im in!

Good luck everyone!

Ok, the event viewer did not show anyhting. Loading defaults did nothing. I hate upgrading bios but i guess thats next. The thing is is that it does turn off but then it turns right back on even after doing a hard off.

The only way I can get it to turn off is to hard power off(Hold down button) twice. I have checked all BIOS setting and turned off restart on BSOD I just can't seem to get it to stop restarting. When I Shut down it does actually turn off but then right back on which is what makes me think its...

basicly what i want to do is make an exact copy of my hard drive so when i install windows 7 on my second hard drive it will have all my programs or will it work the same if i run them from hdd 1?

What I am trying to acomplish is having a full and bootable exact copy of my current hard drive on my second hard drive. I cant seem to find any articles on what i want to do. Can you please help me. Thank you, ßeta

Problem fixed it was the mobo. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Now ive got a 700W PSU for sale lol. New mobo in sig.

new psu is in my sig.

Case:Antec Nine Hundred Motherboard:ASUS P6T CPU:Intel Core i7 920 Memory:OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 Video Card:2 x EVGA GeForce GTX 285 Hard Drives:1 x Seagate Barracuda 1TB 1 x Western Digital Caviar 750GB Optical Drive:Sony Optiarc DVD Burner with LightScribe Power Supply:PC...

It's the no beep code thats getting me. i have reseated everything many times now. I was saying trying another mobo because my other one had some problems before. I sold my spare CPU a while ago. Im friggin tired of these Gigabyte boards i had to rma the old one once and this one twice.

OK. New PSU same results... What now? New mobo(im not sure on the condition of the other one i tried)? I just cant figure it out...

You can get a decent AM2/AM2+ mobo and an Athlon 64 X2 at higher than 2.7GHz for pretty cheap right now oh and you will need new DDR2 RAM. Another plus is is that these part should run cooler then the ones you have. With a monitor like that i would say you have the money to upgrade all at once...

Before any of that i would have tried an older driver version. Have you installed all service packs and updates? When you reinstalled did you use the same driver installer as before or did you download a fresh one? The reason i say this is you mention driver crashes. Also just for good measure i...

Ok, I did all of the above only to recieve the same results. Switched to dif mobo same thing. So thinking it may be PSU. I am willing to buy a new one since that was the next upgrade for me, was looking into this one .

ill try taking out the video card and also just unplugging it to try to force a beep. I dont think taking it out will do anything because i also have onboard or will the combo of having no RAM for system and on-board do it. the only other psu i have is a 550W that is failing. if i get nothing...

took the RAM out and reset the CMOS still nothing. Thinking maybe i should try another mobo. P.S. sory i dont respond that fast between going to work and trying to use my moms laptop which she is almost always using i dont get much time here.

is this in the right place?

So today i got some more RAM exact same as before. When i put it in i started to recieve windows startup errors saying that important system files where missing and such so i ran the memory diagnostic tool and within seconds it said there was a memory hardware problem. So i proceded to turn off...

Well when i install WoW the first thing that i do is put my WTF and Interface folders in there.

One thing you all overlooked is the Addons. Try disabling all the addons and see what happens this is one main factor in load times. But yes run a defrag i always do after i delete big files, move lots of stuff, or install/uninstall big programs. I use PerfectDisk. Also i would run CCleaner.

I've got a great idea. Play some music. Since you seem to want to throw the idea of more heat in those games out of the window. Do me a favor and go into Rivatuner and turn the fan up to 100% and see if it makes that noise, if it does, turn it down by 5% increments until it stops. I dont see...

how about 512Bit bus with 2GB on-board gddr5 O.o? and with the most likey fater GPUs available.

what you need to do is get ati tool and run the check for arifacts and watch your temps this should show you if its overheating. anything over 90c i would suggest doing something about it. also try under clocking your card and see if it fixes the crashing because ive only had those kind of...

sweet so it should fit in my case with about half an inch to spare between it and the hard drive cage. If i were to get a gtx280 do you think it would be worth it to keep the gts for a PPU or just sell it?

I would like to know if there is much more of an increase in length between the GTX280/260 and the 8800 GTS 512. If anyone happens to have bot cards and could take some size comparison pics or take some measurements on the GTX. Thanks for any help you can give me.

i cant really add much but to say that i have found above the monitor to be the best place for center speakers. And I'd kill for that set-up, you have my dream speakers right now.

i was good on a 8800GTS 512 up untill i got a new monitor then i went SLI it was able to run crysis on all very high (except shaders which may have to be lowered for certain levels) no AA 16x AF at 1680x1050 without dropping bellow 20FPS. now you don't need much an upgrade from your current card...

you forgot a case and PSU. and if you mean using current case then still will most likely need new PSU still.

The thing is you probably cant go even high end AGP with the PSU in that. Your better off either just dealing with what you got or buildin a new AMD AM2 gaming rig for about 500 or so and using the os key and peripherals from that other system.

yeah i had that problem before so i dont leave them plugged in. plus it would still POST. I'm Sending it in to Gigabyte since the BIOS chip is soldered in.

So if i can't fix it by the end of this weekend i guess im gunna send in the board to gigabyte. This sucks i just bought call of duty world at war.

i would realy love it if i didn't have to rma the board to Gigabyte and pay for shipping plus new thermal paste. i just fel like there is something i am overlooking.

yeah i was reading htrough some stuff on gigabyte and it says you cant update the second bios. if i could get it to post one more time maybe i could do something. but i just cant seem to.

run SIW http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html it will tell you everything you need to know. (i use the standalone version.)

I flashed it through @BIOS and there was only one option for my mobo on it. i have used @BIOS for my old Gigabyte mobo and had no problems. What i don't get i why the Dual bios feature didn't kick in.

OK, so i was updating my BIOS to see if it would help with my SLI problems and when i went to reboot i got no post and no beeps (Usually get one beep at startup meaning hardware check passed). I reset the cmos and got it to go into the bios setting to reset to fail-safe settings and now it will...

Thats the same res i play and the same res my friend plays. I have 8800GTS 512 he has 8800gts 640 The only upgrade worth while at the moment is going sli otherwise why do it? i foy go and buy a new one that is going to give the same performance at that res why waste your money? Maybe if you...

What does [H] use when overclocking video cards and checking there stability? I currently use a mix of RivaTuner(General OC and Temp Monitor) ATITool(Stability and Artifact Checking) and Nvidia's Performance Utils (Precise Overclocking). What i mainly want to know is what you use for stability...

I would go with 2 #4's which will give you a gain over a single 280 if the games accept the pwnage of having two cards. If not a single 260 still isnt that bad compared to a 280. and with the money saved you can upgrade other parts in your build. Just go to new egg and tell them I'll take two...
