Okay, so I had my system at 3.15 GHz using 9.0 and 350 bus speed. The only way it'd be stable was if I left voltages to auto. It was fine for a few weeks but now I'm running into issues. It was totally stable with no lockups or reboots so this just turned up. The issue is that sometimes 3D...

Anyone know of a good recovery service, one for personal, not commercial use? I built a new system and I was a day away from copying all the important data on my C drive (200 gig) to my new system and leaving the old one as a backup. I turned on the system and the drive began clicking so I...

I can get my system running Orthos for over 15 hours (I exited it) using 350fsb*9.0multiplier. Coretemp reads 40C under load when running that for that long. I have the pci-e manually at 100. However, if I run 3Dmark03 the system will reboot at different times (plus performance while it's...

Hello, I am building a system using my old Antec Perfomance Plus 1080 case. However, the Tuniq Tower mostly sits in front of the rear case fans. The other available places for fans are a case side fan, the low front (path mostly all open) and a fan in the 3.5 drive cage bay. So, I guess it's...

Hello, I'm confused about installing XP SP2 on a SATA drive. The 965P-DS3 has two groups of sata ports, and since I'm not using raid I was going to use the Intel ones. Am I correct in thinking that only the Gigabyte sata ports require the F6 install? I will leave the Gigabyte sata ports enabled...

I'm new to all of this overclocking stuff and am looking for some feedback. After some initial issues (bad stick of Corsair ram*frustrating*) I've been playing around in the bios. I've been trying to learn more about all of this to figure out exactly which settings to change. All I've done so...

This may be a dumb question, but the plug for the fan is only three wires and the cpu_fan power on the board is four pins. Do I hook it up instead to the three pin pwr_fan connector?

Well, I have the Gigabyte 965P-DS3. I was playing around in the BIOS and it wouldn't reboot. I cleared the CMOS with the jumber and then it would get to the Gigabyte splash screen but it won't go any futher. Hitting DEL to get into the BIOS does nothing, it simply stops at that screen. Is...

Hello, I'm sure everyone asks this question and I've already gone through one of those calculators, but I'm still going to ask. I'm building a new system with an o/c e4300 640 GTS, 2 gig of ram, 2 dvd burners and an hdtv tuner card. However, I want to load this thing with hard drives, at least...

Hello, I'm giving the whole overclocking thing a shot and building a new system. I got a little overzealous ordering parts and ordered this ridiculous thing. I thought I read something about taping up the backplate. I assume it's a good idea to wrap that mounting plate that goes on the...

Okay, I'm putting a new computer together and giving my father my old one. My issue is that I want to get my new computer up and running while keeping my current C drive intact (IDE with XP). By intact I mean, I want to install XP on a new SATA drive (I understand I can slipstream both SP2 and...

Hello, I have never used a Mac before but volunteered to try and fix an issue a neighbor is having. Apparently, he had downloaded updates from Apple and now it boots to the Darwin login screen (black screen with password/login prompt). If I simply type "exit" it seems to quit out as the...

Hello, I've been having all sorts of weird computer issues lately. I think I've finally decided it must be a PSU issue (system freezes but mostly random restarts...RAM checks okay). I have had problems before with harddrives "losing" formatting (XP sees it as RAW then). I've always managed to...

Okay, I have been having horrendous lucky lately with anything computer related...weird stuff...nothing that I had caused though. I should buy a lottery ticket. This one was my fault though...to get down to it...I am waiting for my second ATI RMA and had a Voodoo3 PCI card as a temp (it was...

Hello, I have been reading the forums for a while and found some useful info here last night but still need some help. The problem is a five month old Western Digital 80 gig USB hd that has stopped working. I used it the other afternoon, shutdown, and when I went back to use my computer that...
