    Memtest fails IMMEDIATELY after an additional 2 gigs of ram

    At the current moment I can get my machine stable with 4 gigs, but my wireless PCI ethernet card won't connect to the internet. It's bizarre, it takes longer to connect to my router, but then I can't go online. As soon as I remove a stick, it connects to the internet just fine. What's the...

    Memtest fails IMMEDIATELY after an additional 2 gigs of ram

    What is enabling the 2t? I am able to get my machine stable but I have a bizarre issue...whenever I have all 4 sticks in there my wireless PCI card doesn't connect to the internet. It will eventually connect to the router, but not the internet. As soon as I remove one stick of RAM, it...

    unfortunately that sounds about right...that's a shame, I bought 2 gigs for $20 AR on Black Friday :( Nothing I can really do, huh?

    Memtest fails IMMEDIATELY after an additional 2 gigs of ram

    I recently purchased 2x1 gig PC6400 OCZ ram to add to my system which already had 2x1gig PC6400 ram. When I installed it I tried to play a game and I immediately received a BSOD regarding memory errors. I used a Windows version of MemTest and as soon as I started to run it there were memory...

    6600 and POS ECS for 229$

    I bought an E300 + ECS mobo for $150 back in November. I've been using it seen and it's been totally stable. I recently put in 2 gigs of PC6400 RAM but I had to down clock it to 5400 speeds, it doesn't like anything higher.

    I bought two different model Acer 22'' monitors, one is fine, the other = bleed

    So totally skipping the story, I wound up with two Acer 22'' monitors, an AL2223Wd and an X221WSD. basically I bought the Al222wd per Best Buy's $190 advertised price, and I got the other at Staples for less since I pricematched + 10%. I was excited because the X series costs more and I...

    What the heck, how'd you do that? Did they dock 12% because of the price match?

    When can we likely see 24'' LCD monitors drop in price?

    Like all the way down to $300? Any predictions? I currently have two 17'' LCD monitors, and would love to swap em both for a 24'', but at the current moment it would be cheaper to buy two 22'' monitors than a single 24''! Should I just go with a 22'' monitor and a 17'' LCD? Suggestions...

    C2D board on the "somewhat" cheap?

    I'm in a very similar position you are, fossilll. I'm ready to jump on the Gigabyte 965p-ds3 (Rev. 1.3), but I haven't decided what kind of video card to get. I recently bought 2 gigs of OCZ PC6400 ram and popped em in the ECS motherboard. It seems to run just fine when I lower the...

    RAM makes mobo unstable...using ECS P4M800 with OCZ 2gig PC6400

    I recently bought 2 gigs of OCZ PC6400 ram with 5-5-5-12 latency and is supposed to run at 2.1V. I would like to note that before I had 2 gigs of PC5300 ram and the system was running stable. When I purchased the ram, I just popped them in and started the computer. Everything seemed to...

    ECS experience?

    I bought the $150 E6300 combo and have been running it for a month or so now with no problems. I was pleased to find the mobo booted up the first time i set it up

    Agp 8x card in a 4x slot. Shouldn't work?

    Just to let you know I had a similar problem. I can't remember what the motherboard was, but it was very old and didn't even support USB 2.0. It ran my AMD Athlon 2500 Xp at 333fsb and didn't even recognize it lol. When I put my 9800pro in there it wouldn't give me any display. Oddly...

    I've got two mobos that don't POST...what the heck do I do with them?

    Well i'm pretty sure my PSU was bad, so I bought a new one. With the new PSU, both mobo's don't POST, beep, or anything.

    I've got two mobos that don't POST...what the heck do I do with them?

    I greatly appreciate your help. I have two NForce2 motherboards, and tested both with known working components. Using just CPU, Vid Card, and RAM I could not get either to beep at all. I have a strong suspicion that my current PSU is bad, At the current moment I have a computer up and...

    I've got two mobos that don't POST...what the heck do I do with them?

    Hmm....I would like input from others on this. Is there a good chance my BIOS got corrupted? If so, how could that have happened? I actually have access to a buddy's computer who has an A7n8x-e, so I theoretically could try hot flashing. I'll have to look into this some more.

    I've got two mobos that don't POST...what the heck do I do with them?

    It's a loooong story, but I had an Asus A7N8X that used to work fine till my Radeon 9800 Pro decided to go out...BIOS was showing artifacts. Got a new card through RMA and the problem was the same. Went to clear the CMOS, and when I tried booting up, I never got a display again. I decided...

    Mobo doesn't beep, no POST, NOTHING!

    That would seem really odd. My roommate has OCZ ram, and i've been running OCZ for a couple months with no hitches. Either way, i'll yank the ram from my computer at work and try it.

    Mobo doesn't beep, no POST, NOTHING!

    Well, I used another known working PSU and the system still didn't boot up. I think i'm gonna wind up just buying another nforce2 motherboard. I have no idea what happened... Is there anything else I can check out?

    Mobo doesn't beep, no POST, NOTHING!

    Well....it all started when I started getting artifacts when in BIOS. I RMA'ed the video card, and in the between time I used a Geforce FX 5200 with NO problems. I received a new card from ATI, and I installed it only to find that I was getting a checkered display during POST. I reset the...

    I get artifacts in my display, even when i'm BIOS?!

    Thanks guys, I RMA'ed the sucka. Fortunately ATI has a 3 year warranty on their cards, and i'm pretty sure i'm still under it. I installed a Geforce FX5200 a friend had lying around and the system works flawlessly.

    I get artifacts in my display, even when i'm BIOS?!

    The fan is spinning, it's stock. It has never been overclocked. I don't understand why there would be artifacts in BIOS, the GPU isn't even really used?!

    I get artifacts in my display, even when i'm BIOS?!

    Lately I've been getting random odd artifiacts in my display when I'm merely browsing online. An example would be when I scroll down a page, I would get a streak of green vertically. Well I installed a harddrive in my machine, and when I went into BIOS there were very obvious artifacts on...

    DISK BOOT ERROR...hard drive shows as unallocated space?!

    Thanks, I'll be able to use those tools if I want to recover files. These are my questions: 1. What could have caused this to happen? Is it a bad HD? 2. Is there any chance I can repair the drive, perhaps repair the partition table? I would really like to be able to use the drive as I did...

    Has anyone ever recovered files from a bad HD?

    My harddrive crapped out, it's in a partition and it can read one partition, but not the other. I'll double click on the bad partition and get "This disk is not formatted" etc. Anyone know of a program I can try to use to recover the files?
