Overclocking Help

I tried that and it didn't help...then I just left things be for a long time as I got busy with other things. Today though I woke up determined...and I fixed it! Instead of resetting the CMOS with the jumper I pulled the battery out as well for about 30 minutes...threw it back in and works...

AHCI & Data Drives

Multiple Hard Drives - Malware Removal

Wouldn't the UAC in Windows 7 prevent it from working on the re-installation though? It wouldn't be able to just reactivate without Windows 7 or Norton seeing it though, correct?

Multiple Hard Drives - Malware Removal

Hey all, Quick question, if you got some kind of malware and then did a complete reformatting of the C drive but none of the other drives (which are only for video / music storage; no programs are installed there), would all malware be removed? Or are there sneaky things that go to all...

Ocz Vertex 2 60GB or Intel G2 X25 80GB

nVidia newer drivers degrading??

I'm pretty sure its the video card used...the 9800GX2 is last gen and hence NVDA doesn't care about breaking it as much as say a 260, 275, 280, 285 or 295. Thats my hypothesis anyways. Performance is the same on the drivers I use on the games I play than with the new ones so it isn't a...

Anything past 182.50 gives me BSOD on my 9800GX2, so I'm going to agree with you. Me thinks I'll ebay this bad boy once the 5870's come out.
