ECS P4M800 Pro

I've bought two of the Fry's combos. I have a GF6800 in one of them that works fine. But.. I did have a problem for a little while, but it seemed to be corrected by reseating the video card. If neccessary, try reseating the video card until it works. Also, make sure your bios is set to AGP...

Dell 2007WFP for $359

I have two 2005 fpw's and 1 2007 wfp, and all three are great monitors. I never understood the 2005 backlight issues, and the 2007 banding is unapparent in my usage. I rate the 2005's at a 97, and the 2007 at a 93 (only because I prefer the color shade of the 2005's, for instance the 2007...

3.2 Prescott overheating 87C

I just started the computer again, after being away for dinner. Now I find that MS AntiSpyware was running at 30% CPU usage and getting the CPU up to 80C after five minutes. I shut down MS AntiSpyware, and five minutes later, its back down to 56C. Sounds like the CPU is doing loops...

3.2 Prescott overheating 87C

I find that statusclient.exe is in the HP folder. I've had problems before with their software. I have a HP 1012 and a HP 6540 hooked up. I guess I'll have to play with /uninstall some of the progs. I Quit statusclient.exe, had to reboot, and temps are dropping now. dl

3.2 Prescott overheating 87C

An hour later, and I come back from the whirlpool. The CPU is at 84C/185F. The MB is at 37C/98F. I have an nView Desktop manager message that says statusclient is not responding. I think I'll try uninstalling/disabling nView. dl

3.2 Prescott overheating 87C

Right now my CPU is fine at 54C/129F. The MB is 36C/96F. The CPU was a Retail processor with Intel fan. I can't believ the fan would need replacing after three months, unless it stopped working completely. I do notice some dust collection. I agree it's rediculous. I can only imagine...

3.2 Prescott overheating 87C

I suspect my 3.2 prescott is overheating and causing spontaneous shutdowns the last two weeks. Three months ago, I built a new system with a ASUS P4P800SE and Antec 1650 case with 350 watt PS. It ran fine for a couple of months, and I was able to overclock it 10% with no problems...

19" Gaming LCDs, Which should I get?!!

Only you can decide that. I've had two Sony G400's and a G500. Bought them used and cheap at a computer show. They look better than any other CRT that I've had. You can also find refurbs on the web. Now I have a Sony S74 LCD, and am very happy with it. I'd rather have it than the G400...

Samsung SyncMaster 915N

Never heard of such a monster. Sounds like a nice idea, though. Might have to wait another year or two. Regarding the Samsung 915N, I am sure the screen will provide excellent performance for it's intended market. Since there is no DVI, it obviously isn't top of the line, and will probably...

Samsung SyncMaster 915N

Check out the Samsung Website. This just appears to be an upgrade of the 910N. I was looking for a possible upgrade to the 910T. All I found was the 920T. Has anybody heard of these? I havn't. They appear to be available at online sites. UNFORTUNATELY, It's 25 ms response time, and it...

SONY SDM-S74/B - DVD Picture Quality?

Uh, OK, Just for you... I installed Power DVD, registered for the forums (guess I havn't posted for a couple of years), and threw in a DVD and watched previews. What I look for is color quality, especially fleshtones. I was impressed. Think Sony Color TV. This thing must have been made...
