    PSU always on

    I'm currently attempting to put together a system using parts gleaned from 2 old systems of mine, but I'm running into a problem now that everything is assembled. I finally plug the power supply in and turn it on and the whole system just comes to life. Pressing the Power and Reset buttons on...

    WoW Battlegroup 2

    Since the server that people who were in the [H] guild are on, Stormscale, and my server, Perenolde, are in the same Battlegroup, I thought it might be cool to find out who else is out there on the [H] who's in this group. Also, now that there's so many new people to work with and face off...

    X2 4400 or 4600?

    ZipZoomFly has these for about the same price. Just wondering which would make the "bigger" difference, 200 MHz or 512KB of L2 cache. X2 4600+, $260- http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80727-R X2 4400+, $255-...

    Unable to get digital signal to VX2025wm

    Earlier today, I attempted to attach a NV Silencer 5 to my 6800GT. Over the course of my attempts, I became unable to get a picture on the monitor using the DVI cable. I am still unable to select the digital signal using my monitor's OSD. Could this be a problem with the video card, or...

    RMAable NV Silencer?

    Due to a problem that was occurring while playing World of Warcraft (random video lockups) that I thought may be heat-related, I purchased an NV Silencer 5 Rev 3. My temps while playing the game with my stock cooler sometimes got up to 80C. However, once I installed the NV Silencer, I...

    Random "lockup" while playing WoW

    Every once in a while, when playing World of Warcraft, the screen will just freeze. The strange thing about it is that I can still move my mouse around the screen (but not click any icons), I can type commands into the keyboard and have them execute while I'm frozen, and I'll still hear...

    Exchange one G.Skill set for another?

    I recently purchased this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231021 However, after following the directions in Eclipse's overclocking guide, it seems as though my motherboard (ASUS A8V) is not up to the task. So now I'm still just running at DDR400, timings at...

    +12V too low?

    I know voltage monitoring software can be fairly inaccurate, but maybe this might be a little more than a misreading? I just upgraded my motherboard and processor from a ASUS A7N8X Deluxe/XP2500+ to a ASUS A8V/A64 3500+, and the voltage on the +12V fluctuates between 11.187 and 11.297. The...

    Folding crashing video card?

    For like the past month, I've been trying to set up a new rig to dedicate to F@H. I just got it up and running, only with the console app instead of the graphical client. Big deal, right? I'm still just curious as to why things were happening. So, here's the box: AMD Sempron 2400+ w/...

    Voltages too low?

    I bought an Antec TruePower 330W PSU for a system I'm putting together that's intended to just run F@H all day long. It's being used on... MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR Sempron 2400+ with stock HSF 1GB Kingston HyperX PC2700 Radeon 9600XT Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA HDD I installed MSI's Core...

    Memory issues

    The memory being referred to is that listed in the first rig in my signature: 2x512MB Mushkin Level II PC3500... the old BH-5 stuff. So, I'm going along playing WoW, and from time to time I get various errors about access violations. Checking the WoW forums, they like to blame it on the...

    Is my PSU all right?

    Just wondering if these voltage values were "within tolerances" or if I should consider buying a new PSU. It's currently an Antec 400W SmartPower that came with my case, and has basically been on 24/7 since summer 2002. I'm running a Prime95 test atm, and the voltage #s look a little worse...

    Random crashing in WoW

    I really enjoy playing this game... except for one thing: the crashing. Seems like I can't even get thru a quest, or get to another town, without it crashing at least once. My system specs are in my sig... running Windows XP SP2 and nVidia's 66.93 graphics drivers. I went to another version...

    Samsung 710T being sold on Newegg.com

    $479 plus $18 shipping. Doesn't look like the same one from monitorsdirect.com or even samsungusa.com, but the box in one of the pictures says 710T, so I guess it's the real deal. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=24-001-164&depa=0

    Computer won't start up

    Ok, this is second-hand info, because this is my friend's computer and I haven't seen it do this, so... Over the weekend his computer was left running, and then after a while it would just randomly shut down. He'd turn it back on again, and it'd run for another couple of hours and then cut...

    865G finicky about memory?

    Over the past month, I've set up two systems with Intel 865G based motherboards. The first was an ASUS P4G800-V, the second was a Shuttle SB61G2 SFF PC. When I was setting up the machine with the ASUS board, Windows XP setup would crash halfway thru, and, after setup finally worked, would...

    Memory timings and FSB on Asus P4G800-V

    Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I just can't seem to find the place in the P4G800-V's BIOS to adjust the front side bus speed. I'm using the version that it came with (1003). Anyone know where those settings are? I'm also confused about the memory timings on the motherboard as...

    Flashing BIOS does not complete

    I tried updating the BIOS on my friend's brother's Asus P4G800-V motherboard today, from the default 1003 (I think) to version 1008, doing exactly what the Readme told me to: boot into DOS, run the executable program. Things looked good at first, but went downhill quickly. After loading the...

    The trouble with Shuttle

    Ok, so about a week ago I posted something about how my Shuttle SB61G2 wouldn't start up correctly. Since I was using some Kingston HyperX PC2700 that wasn't on the Shuttle's support list, I purchased some different memory. Now I have 2x256MB of Mushkin "2-2-2 Special" PC3200... and while...

    How important is it to adhere to the "support list" on Shuttle XPCs?

    I have 2x512MB of Kingston HyperX PC2700 memory that I'm trying to put into a Shuttle SB61G2 XPC. According to the Shuttle website, this particular size, speed and brand of memory is not supported by the SB61G2. My processor, a P4 2.8C, is on its support list. Since I haven't been able to get...

    Location of PLL on A7N8X Deluxe

    Because I'm really just a tool, and money burns a hole in my pocket, I impulsively bought the Microcool ChipSink Cooling Kit. In the picture below, I can tell that the MOSFETs are the four black squares above the Northbridge. The PLL chip, though... is that the long one to the right of that...
