ok i've read the other posts about people's questions towards how the upgrade works with an OEM Vista disc from Newegg. All of them were great help and i understand....but one thing i still do not understand. When after i upgrade my machine (still has 64 bit Vista on it) to Windows 7 am i...

I’m building a machine for the first time in about 4-5 years so, yeah, it has been a while. I had 2 little boys since and they sucked up most of my money. Well my father-in-law wants me to build him a machine for gaming and general purpose. I will be using this build as a template for a build I...

He was wondering if i had a comp i could sell him.....i have a back up one that i don't use but like to have it in case my main goes down and i have something to get onto the internet with to find the...

...i hate these kinds of mornings. I woke up this morning to my comp. being stuck at the screen where it says there was some sort of failure so it had to do an emergency shut down (the computer was working fine last night when I went to bed). It gives me the option for several different ways...

My boss just got me a Samsung 225BW 22-inch monitor at work. It's connected to a WAY out of date GeForce4 MX 440 Nvidia card. I'm trying to get the card to display a native display for this monitor which is 1680x1050. Under my display options all i have are: 1280x1024 1280x960 1024x768...

long story....basically can't get my comp. to work and don't know where to check next. So I get home from work yesterday…do some stuff around the house and all of a sudden I find that my case fans, including the CPU Fan and Video Card, are all NOT running for some reason…..the power supply...

I've had my Evga 7800GT since this past January and never have had temp. problems with it until i moved into my new house this past weekend. Before my comp. was in my old houses basement where it was pretty much always cool. In this new house it's on the main floor because i'm waiting to have my...

just installed this board this week, MSI Diamond Plus, with a new cpu and video card. Everything is working great except i'm having to sound type issues. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=710 In WOW (world of warcraft) i'm having sound...

i'm getting my board in a few days from newegg and am wondering something. i'm guessing i'll probably have to do a Bios update and am not sure if this board has a windows based update or not? If not, can someone please give me directions on how to do it by floppy/cd or link me to a site...

this is my first journey into the PCI-E realm....and i just go my eVGA 7800GT. Okay it came with that supplemental power adapter for the card that comes off the card and splits into (2) 4-Pin connectors.....now, do i have to hook up both of those for full power or just one? i'm thinking...

i'm upgrading a little. Going with single core for now....i really do not multi-task so single core will be fine for now. Just looking for any comments on my upgrade stuff to see if anyone thinks there will be any conflicts or has any horror stories or good stories on the things i'm getting. I'm...

anyone have this board or know where there are any reviews of it besides the newegg site? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813130527

betweent these two MB's. I do not plan to overclock....also am buying another 1G of Corsair Value Select to go with my current 1G of the same RAM. Also will be buying a eVGA 7800GT and either a 3800X2 or single core 4000 SD chip. This rig is for gaming and rarely ever do i multi-task...

ok...i'm looking to gather some money to upgrade to SLI. what i want to do is basically ditch my motherboard, cpu and video card (because i have too) for upgrades in all of those parts. I have been following the tech. slightly but not to the point some of you do, so that's why i'm looking for...

I’m having a major problem that has been bugging me for a while. I built my system about a year ago and up until 5 months ago I’ve been pretty good about keeping things up to date. Here are my specs: Athlon 64 3400+ "Clawhammer" XP-90 w/Vantec Tornado MSI K8N Neo Platinum 520w OCZ eVGA...

I'm having trouble finding Nvidia drivers that work well with both WOW and BF2. I got BF2 yesterday and had a lot of stuttering in game, so i got the new drivers from the Nvidia site, this seemed to help. Then when i tried to play WOW though, that game started to stutter....so i went back to the...

has anyone seen this thing yet. some how my wife got this on my comp and i can't get it off...it says it's running in the applications (when i hit ctrl+alt+delete). i ran adaware and spybot and those don't pick it up. I also ran hijack this...i thought i found it, deleted it, but then when...

a friend of mine made and edited a video on his Mac, finally putting the final product into a Quicktime format. He burned it to a cd and gave it to me. I got home tryed to read it on my PC but it says windows can not read the disc...wrong format. Does anyone know what he or i need to do so that...

like many people i have been getting a little sick while playing this game. I've been trying to get into the console so i can change the FOV, but i'm not sure what to type into my shortcut. Without adding anything if i hit the ~ key, nothing comes up. So i saw that you need to add " -console"...

help a noob, i've never used steam before, i needed to restart my comp. because it locked up while trying (just like every other person in the world) to register for steam. When i restarted my comp. i went to try to register and when i hit "Next" it says "action can not be completed while steam...

I just bought this game yesterday, loaded it up and started playing....almost right away the game locked up. Ok, so i think maybe i had the graphics up to high, but my FPS never dropped below 30. So i turned down the overclock on my graphics card and turned dow AF in the game to 2. This time the...

I have my cpu voltage set to 1.75 in my Bios. I know that sounds high but in the pc health part of bios it never reads it going above 1.64, that includes cpu-z and core center, they all read that. So my question is does that voltage go up under load, like a game or something, or would i be safe...

I've been testing my machine to see how far i can overclock, i've wanted to get to at least 2400, but ran into a snag last night. I had my fsb at 213x11, with stock memory timings, vcore=1.65, mem=2.75.....like that everything is stable, prime and memtest passed with flying colors, but i can not...

I've had my eVGA 6800GT since about July. I love the card, it's just it does not overclock at all, it's really bad. I thought maybe it was the temps so i bought a silencer 5, the wierd thing is the card now idle's at a higher temp put under load my temps do not go as high as they did with the...

First time over clocking here. The other day I started bumping up my FSB a little got it to around 213 and decided that was enough, so I ran Prime 95 and memtest a couple of nights, rock solid no errors on either. Now that’s all I did, I did not adjust my voltages or memory. So last night I...

Does anyone own a MSI K8N Neo Platinum board and a nv silencer 5? I want to attach this to me eVGA 6800GT but not sure if its going to conflict/run into the north chip?

I just started overclocking for the first time the other day. I’ve read many guides on how to do it, so I ‘m pretty confident at the basics. I just built this machine about a month ago so I thought I’d try some overclocking. First thing I did was to make sure my system was stable at stock...

I just started using prime 95 for the first time yesterday and have some questions about it. I read thru the read me files, but i still do not understand some things. 1. Under Options>CPU what do you guys use for Daytime/Nightime memory? I just want to use this for testing my overclocks, so...

I'm just started overclocking and have a ram question. My ram, which is only Corsair 512x2 Value Select, shows that it's running at 2.5, 3, 3, 8, 2T. Now if i'm overclocking i want to lower or raise these numbers to make everything more stable? I thought you would want to tighten them, make them...

I have some 91% isopropyl, is that a high enough percentage to use for cleaning off my thremal pad?
