8800 GT and crysis problems

I would advise you just get yourself a second cooler, I have a simple fan blowing straight at my graphics card and ALL my problems went away and the card never reaches 55C - just get a fan, any fan as long as its "silent" enough for you and you'll be fine. Artifacts are caused by bad ram or...

8800GT Problems

I basically have the same problem, you get a bluescreen with IRQL_DRIVER_SOMETHING right? with a nv4.sys error. If you've tried different drivers and it is still problematic, its a hardware issue so the card is basically faulty - I am RMAing mine and getting a BFG 8800GT OC 512MB and getting...

Computer basically falling apart

Computer basically falling apart

I just messed about with the BIOS a bit, the Alarm when CPU Fan Failure Enabled => Beeping. If it is Disabled = No more beeping. The fan is spinning constantly...how can it be a cpu fan failure?

Intel E6850 Box contains?

But I don't need it unless I am overclocking? Do I get any drastic performance increases if it has better colling too? its a gaming rig. Last question would be, if arctic silver is really really good, how do I get the shit off of the heatsink fan? to be able to apply arctic silver on the cpu

Intel E6850 Box contains?

Helloes, I am curious what comes in the box of a 6850, the only thing I am interested in would be the thermal paste, is it Arctic Silver 5? or whatever its called Is that one good enough if you don't overclock or should one focus on getting the arctic silver 5 anyhow?

Yeah, what serpent royal wrote! I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens, if I get massive problems I'll go replace the PSUs and everyone should be happy. Wich PSU is 110% guaranteed to POST with IP35-E in case my HX620 decides to break down?

Flashing motherboard BIOS

Well, I exaggerated a little bit, anyhow, important thing is that I want it on one floppy, I guess you can always make 1 boot able floppy and slap the bios on another floppy, load with one, flash with other.

ABIT IP35-PRO weird bios problem

Well, I don't know I just seem to find it fairly weird that many sites recommend it after reviews, especially that it is johhnyguru approved, there has to be a catch, perhaps bad connections or bad setup? I doubt Corsair is in the business of selling malfunctioning PSUs

ABIT IP35-PRO weird bios problem

Is this a problem with only IP35Pro or IP35E aswell? Since Pro has a 4/8 pin ATX connector, IP35E does not, it only has a 24pin ATX What does seem weird is that the PSU is not allowing bios changes to be saved?

You seem to be favoring Kingston/Crucial but never mention Corsair, is that because they don't work very well with IP35 boards or because you haven't tried them/dislike them? :P
