I guess I spoke to soon :( so far I worked out a deal with new egg and now I've replaced my ... with new video card 280 GTX new coolmax 1200W power supply and new DDR3 1800 Corsair dominator ram. I thought it was running ok for a few days, then it crashed again(same problem, stuttering sound...

Rory thanks for the advice, the ram may very well have been the problem. I've been running on stick #2 for 4 days now, no lock ups. I also dialed down the ram to 1333 per a review note on newegg(something about this ram won't run stable at speeds listed) also newegg is letting me swap ram to...

Rob, Thanks for the tips, I tried the test and core heat programs under testing cpu 0 hit a peak of 65c the others were lower, everything tested 0. I can't get memtest to work, don't understand how to make boot disk work right. I burned .iso file to cd and rebooted but it doesn't boot CD...

I just built a new computer, it worked fine for a week. The lockups all started at the end of a game of Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. The game was getting pretty laggy toward the end. The next game ran slower than I think it should have. After that it's been locking up alot (every 1-2...

I was searching for a better gas mileage car the other day. When I stumbled across Water Hybrid http://water4gas.com/2books.htm I am a bit skeptical about the whole thing. I guess it's basically a jar with electrodes that separate the the water into hydrogen and oxygen, and a hose that...

Thanks James , So EVGA is the better brand, it was kind of a toss up between the two anyway. I think I had picked the XFX because of the slightly faster clock speed. I agree the hard drive is a little small, I chose it because of the RPM and 16mb cache. I was thinking about getting a large...

Hi I'm building a new PC it's been awhile(5yrs) so i=I'm pretty rusty at the new tech here's what I was looking at. Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case EVGA 132-CK-NF79-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI DDR3 ATX Intel Motherboard XFX PVT98UZHBU GeForce 9800...

Q9450 overclocking heatsink? Hi I'm kinda a newbie at this. I slipped outa the computer race in the 90s and now I'm looking at getting a new computer with a Q9450 chip. I stumbled upon this Thread when I was researching overclocking the chip. I was wondering if I could get away with...
