Hi all, it's been a long time since I was on here and I tried searching around so forgive me if this has been asked a hundred times! Basically my old s754 rig gave up the ghost so I got a shiny new Asus A8V-VM mobo today, along with a new processor. I fitted it all in only to find there's a...

Hi guys, I've got the following system: MSI K8N Neo Plat S754 mobo AMD Athlon 64 3000+ S754 1024mb Kingston HyperX memory Galaxy Glacier Geforce 6800GT (with an nvsilencer stock fitted) Big Fat Antec Trueblue PSU (480W I think) and I think that's about all that matters. Nothing is...

Sorry I'm not all too clued up about this stuff. I was clearing out the garage today and found the old gladiator Pentium 2 233MHz system in pieces. It all still works ecept the hdd, so my idea was to just get a faster slot 1 processor off ebay and turn it all into a htpc system. However, I'm not...

I have an Aopen SFF PC with the following specs: EZ65 XCUBE 3.2GHz Pentium 4C (Northwood) 1gb Corsair Valueram 200GB WD Caviar SATA HDD 256mb generic ATI Radeon 9600 PRO Now I installed windows xp and it worked fine. Then whenever I attempt to install any form of catalyst, it seems to...

I just tried to update my bios on my asus a8v deluxe and the power went after it had erased the old bios, but not programmed the new one. I really need to get this fixed before the end of the weekend and I have no idea how to fix this now. My motherboard won't POST at all, so I defo know it's...

Hi there, I bet there's about 50 other threads with all this info in, but I've never seen any direct comparisons, all I've seen is that all three have problems, but all three are very good. My friend and I are going to build new 939 rigs with Winchesters next week (I'll prolly use a 3200+, he's...

The time has come for me to build a new pc and after using a Ttake Tsunami in my lastest one, I have decided to never buy a case with doors again :rolleyes: So I have narrowed it down to the two cases I would like to use. They are: Savrow SR-71 (I'd add a window and maybe paint the front)...

Hi here, I've gotten my new rig up but am looking to upgrade my keyboard and mouse now. I love my keyboard but's its starting to pack in now and its given me 6 years of good service so it's time to find a replacement. I thought I might as well get a new mouse as well, to go with a keyboard so I...

I need a fan controller cause my comp is a bit too loud right now, so I've gotten it down to these two now. I can get an Aerogate II for £25 and a Hardcano 12 for £30, so the price isn't too important here. I was just wondering which one you guys think is better overall.

I couldn't seem to find any posts for this, so... I want to make a blowhole in the top of my case and I have an 80mm fan and a grill. I cannot seem to find a holesaw that is exactly 80mm, only a bit less or a bit bigger. I was thinking of getting the smaller one and then if it looked weird just...

Hi I just got a Galaxy Geforce 6800GT (with one of the VGAsilencers stock fitted onto it) and even at stock frequencies I get this lag, like it freezes for a few seconds then goes normall again, then freezes etc. and this is only on dx9 games. It is fine on opengl games, like doom3, but only on...

never realised how annoying the wiring can be :p Now all I have left is a new keybaord and mouse and I'm waiting for a new monitor on friday. Oh well, still many things left to do (such as sorting out the wiring) but being able to play doom3 and far cry for the first time is amazing :eek: So...

Hi there, I just got my comp together and I got my brand new Chaintech 6800GT in in eager anticipation (I've been stuck with a Radeon 7200 for 3 years) and as soon as I install the graphics drivers (tried the ones on the cd, 62.something and the latest off the nvidia one on the site) and...

Hi I know there's quite a few other threads liek this, but I wouldn't want to be seen as 'jacking' someones thread so I thought I'd make my own. I'm building my first ever pc (I'm only 16) after a significant cash injection following the best ever exam resutls in my whole family (8A*s and 2As at...

I read in CustomPC magazine in the UK here that the new processors have 12% oc caps on them, but I haven't heard it anywhere else and they do seem to not like the processors at all, describing them as solar flare producing and generally crap, so I was wondering is this really true? If it is then...

I edited my boot.ini after installin SP2 and added a /kernel switch back that I had to take out to install SP2 and now I get a bluescreen everytime, so I am now in knoppix and I want to try and find it so I can edit it back. So could anyone tell me whereabouts it is, I just can't seem to find...

I have an old P2 233MHz system (with MMX technology!!) that was being used until less than a year ago and then it wasn't used for a few months, but then my mum wanted to work on a computer, my dad and I decided to set up the old one so she wouldn't disturb us ^_^ and then when I install win2k...

Well I was round my mate's today and he is pretty poor with computers (he's now mastered how to open a word document - I had to teach him :D) but he is getting better now and he inherited this pc in a pretty weird way (it was kinda left to him, but I'm not gonna get into details) and he was...

Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but this one seemed the most appropriate to me :) A friend of mine and I are going to build our own pcs soon and currently we have gotten it down to two cases: The Coolermaster Wavemaster...
