    Issues with Marvell Yukon 88E8056 LAN

    I'm at my wits end with this p.o.s on-board controller. It was working fine until I added a new USB soundcard/midi controller, after a reboot I got the "added new hardware" wizard and it tried to auto re-install the drivers for this onboard LAN, which failed. I had a copy of the most recent...

    Seasonic Warranty Return

    Powered up my system this morning, well for about a nanosecond and then...nothing. I immediately suspected PSU or mobo and luckily I had an old PSU, it wasn't quite the right connector (older type with less pins/slots) however it did fit and it was enough to give me mobo LED's, so it's the PSU...

    Arrrrrgh, which cheap ultra stable mobo?

    Like many I'm jumping ship from AMD to Intel, simply due to Core 2 Duo. I'm looking at mobo's right now, I've read reviews, searched threads and I'm still no further on. My top priority is stability - no OCing (using it for music production). Therefore one of the cheapers mobos would seem...

    Which Intel Rig?

    Much to my shame I'm well off the pace these days with what's around, not having built a new rig for a few years. So when my bud asked me which of these to get i wasn't sure :o I'd have probably advised the E6300 one but best to double check: option 1: * Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz...

    Windows XP "Themes" Woes

    Against my better judgement (the devil makes work for idle hands) I downloaded and tried some of those XP Theme programs e.g bootskins, Style XP and Boot Editor. I got over the novelty and uninstalled these programs. Today I thought I'd check out the latest releases on an online record store...

    If so how did you solve it? Following on from this thread I'm considering RMAing the heatsink. I think it may be poorly finished, which means the base is not smooth enough to maintain contact with the CPU core. First I want to see if anyone has solved a similar problem. I'm even...
