    DP55WG - Error 27

    I just happen to have a Kingston kit running along side my G.Skill so I'll try them when I get home. If that doesn't work I'll write the board off.

    DP55WG - Error 27

    This has been a two part problem: My friend has a DP55WG but can't boot fully. The POST screen with the Intel logo comes up for a split second, the screen goes dark and then comes up again for a split second before moving onto the Windows loading screen. The loading screen comes up for a...

    E-books Outsell Hardcover at Amazon; Soon to Surpass Paperback

    My wife is almost rabid while she waits on her Kobo! I can't say as I blame her for exactly the reasons mentioned above. No shipping time/no need to head to a store, instant access and dirt cheap!

    Motherboard Manufacturers Outline Solutions to 6-Series Chipset Flaw

    What was awesome about Asus' statement is that they are resetting the warranty periods for all P67 motherboards. If you bought one of the first ones on the market, Asus is restarting the warranty of the date of the press release so you could continue to use it for even longer and only send it...

    Intel Admits SATA Problems with Sandy Bridge Chipsets

    So am I...it just so happens that I'll probably be ready by the time the 1st gen chipsets are phased out.

    Intel's Sandy Bridge Revealed: Core i5-2500K & i7-2600K Reviewed

    I'm not sure I'd buy into their use-it-for-now way of thinking. If it can possibly take a drive with it then unless they plan on reimbursing me for that as well as exchanging the motherboard, I'd be shutting my system off.

    Epic Mealtime

    Just as the title says, it's epic but oh so wrong. http://www.youtube.com/user/EpicMealTime Their newest creation, the Sloppy Roethlisberger, is a 100,000 calorie abomination.

    Intel's Sandy Bridge Revealed: Core i5-2500K & i7-2600K Reviewed

    Try contacting Intel directly. That's where I'd start. Then work your way back to the motherboard manufacturer.

    Need A Memory Upgrade?

    If you are, today is your lucky day! 2x4GB kits for under $50! I'm tempted to buy another 1600mhz G.Skill ECO kit! http://www.directcanada.com/search/?kw=ddr3%202x2gb

    Intel's Sandy Bridge Revealed: Core i5-2500K & i7-2600K Reviewed

    Call the manufacturer immediately and see what they'll do. They sold you a board with a part that has been acknowledged as defective so I would hope they have some sort of plan in place.

    Intel Admits SATA Problems with Sandy Bridge Chipsets

    I suspect we will see quite a few boards with a rev.2.0 sticker attached to them if the manufacturers do remove the chipset and replace it with the updated version.

    GamersFirst Set to Relaunch APB Reloaded

    They did say that anybody who had an account in the original game will get to carry their character over when the game relaunches so I'm not sure if that will cover special items cosmetic items.

    Intel Admits SATA Problems with Sandy Bridge Chipsets

    Suddenly I love my H55 again. Everybody is probably cursing Intel right now but kudos for them not keeping it a secret. Looks like I'll be holding out for a little bit. Any word on what any of the manufacturers plan on doing with the defective stock?

    I tripped over some money!

    The Vertex 2 was on sale before Christmas for less than the Mushkin drive. Too bad the gift cards took so long. The drive should show up this week (10 business day shipping - blech!) so I'll use it for my OS and maybe a choice game or two if I have the room. The rest of the games will go into...

    Gah! Snakes....I'm cool with them when I know where they are but when one surprises me I end up wussier than a little girl

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Linked to Russian Airport Bombing

    Bingo. It's not just the media but almost everyone out there feels they need to blame something or put a label on something because it makes them feel safer. It's as if they automatically feel better if they have something to direct their emotions at. If you don't know what something is...

    AMD Catalyst 11.1 and 11.1a Hotfix

    I don't have any but it's nice to know that there will be extra processing power if I need it although running at 1680x1050 with a 6850, even at stock is more than enough muscle.

    AMD Catalyst 11.1 and 11.1a Hotfix

    I thought you could install 11.1a over 11.1 but I may be wrong. The difference is that there are select games that will experience a performance increase when using a 6800. I'm looking forward to seeing if there's any improvement on DX11 performance in Metro 2033 and the boost in Black Ops is...
