ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 [blank black screen]

You don't list your cpu, your video card, your operating system, etc., so why don't you list all your 'stuff'.

Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 Owners Thread

I am not a smart man... BUT what is the 12" cord with a male USB connection at the end protruding out the back of motherboard all about? It is not shown or listed in my manual, err 2 Setup Guides. Manual?? Oh. 79 pages! Gotta download that baby. Stand by.

GA-P35-DS3L Giving me a headache

Sorry you folks are having problems with the DS3L board. I have 2 of these (rev2.0); 1 with Q6600 in Antec Sonata 380w and other with Q9550 in Antec Sonata3 500w. $35 after market coolers. Good components, but not real expensive stuff. Both systems run great. However, the Q9950 system is on...

Canon XTi

The XTi is a fine camera. However, many XTi's had dark picture problems. Mine did. Had to send it to Canon. But the warranty is only 1 year, I think. After that, it's $200 minimum. Try out that camera. Pics look bright in the viewfinder, but you can't tell until you download them to your...

24-70

I have a Canon XTi. Purchased a refurbished by Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens. Refurbished cause this lens has a history of dust which Canon fixes with refurbish. Sent this lens back. Pics way too soft. Almost blurry. Purchased a new 24-105 f/4 L IS. Very happy with this one. It takes...

Just ordered a new lens.

GTaudiophile - No. All pics seemed to be soft with my 17-55. OdiN - I guess opinions vary. The difference between a new and a 'refurbished by Canon' 17-55 2.8 IS is only approx. $100. I have not read much of that lens being soft. However, apparently they are prone to dust. The refurbished...

Just ordered a new lens.

Good luck. I just sent a 17-55 f/2.8 IS 'refurbished by Canon' back to bhphotovideo. Pics were blurry. The pros would say 'soft'. Reordered a 24-105mm f/4 L IS EF USM @ about the same cost. We shall see.

3 PSUs dead in the past three months and light bulbs exploding

Computer Wiz Kid got it right. You have a short in your neutral (ground). 1st place I would look is your main circuit box. Make sure main ground supply wire is tight. 2nd place I would look is in back of your electric meter. Requires you to break the seal. Pull the meter. Tighten ground...

DEAD:Antec Sonata II - 450W PSU; Also 550 Neo HE $70AMIR

Thanks for the tip, 2foot! Sonata is a really nice case IMO. Even if the psu goes tits up, $40 for the box is a bargain.

Azatek... Quailty refurbished monitors?

I've purchased several 19" & 22" Mitsubishi's from Azatek. All were in good condition. However, the one I'm using now, a 22" Mitsubishi 2040U, was/is absolutely like new. At the time, maybe a year ago, the price was around $270 + $50 freight. One slick feature of this model and the 2060U...
