Thanks all! I found it in the bios, in a tab I would have normally never looked in. It was "event awake" or something like that, and it was enabled and set to a default time of 0:0:0. Disabled it and it stayed asleep all night long. And yes it was powered off/shut down, not in standby or...
I just upgraded my computer and everynight at 12am it turns on. It is right next to my bed and the first night scared me as I was just asleep and it all of a sudden turned on. I was like that was wierd, but it is still doing it. This is the first day I am actually remembering to try and...
Ok I did it. See first post for update info. It is working ok as I am using it currently. Only thing of note, was the bios had a warning flashing something about voltage or something but I checked everything and didn't see anything wrong with what I changed. Does anyone know with this bios...
Thanks a lot! I figured someone would have a set up similar to mine. I will try it when I get home from work tonight and post my results. Sounds like it won't be as hard or confusing as I am thinking.
Thanks for the other input also!
Also, should I write down everthing I change so I can...
I have built many computers over the years, but have not done any overclocking.(mostly because I have never had anything that could overclock enough to be worth doing it) I have just assembled the following:
E2180 M0 w/stock hsf
Gigabyte p35-DS3L
4gig hp ddr2 667 ram
Ultra 600w ps
Forsa...
Is there a way to find out which key I used on the computer I am upgrading. I got a new motherboard, cpu, and ram and I want to do a clean install. I don't want to use the key for the other computer. The only information I can find is the activation key I think. Any ideas? If it makes a...
It says "OEM for HP" right at the bottom of the page. What does this mean? Will it still work like normal or is there custom drivers or what? Great deal but if it is incompatible I want to know before I get it.
I have never really overclocked before, but I might try it if it will save me a lot of money. I guess if I blow the cpu it is just a temp anyway. If it works out maybe I will just hold on to it for a while.
Can I use the stock cooling and still get a decent overclock? I don't really want...
I am upgrading a second computer I have and I wanted to get it up and running sooner rather than this summer so I can play some games with my kid. I need a decent temporary cpu till prices come down on the E8400(and they are back in stock).
I have:
CPU: none
MB: gigabyte DS3L
Memory...
Had to return the first one I got becuase it was DOA. I finally got the replacement today. Looks different than all the other options I have seen for this card. It has a big zalman style fan that takes up an extra slot in the case and it has individual ram sinks also. Worked just fine this...
I didn't even bother with the photo copy, I just cut out the barcodes on the boxes and sent it all in. Got my rebate a couple of weeks later. I just put two stamps on the envelope instead of one.
Wanted to buy Transformers: The Score cd but the cheapest place I could find it was for $50 on e-bay. (Amazon was $130. Can you believe that!) It is not made anymore it seems. So I guess I would rather buy the download version for $15 than spend that kind of money.
I have not bought music...
Thats too bad!
What does yours do? Does it even turn on? Mine was all scrambled with english and chinese characters at the boot up and windows would only work in safe mode. Anything else and windows would crash. Even in safe mode though the colors were all off.
Had to call them again. The guy I talked to the first time didn't send the stuff, but the second time I got it an hour after I talked to someone. Now to see how long it takes to get a new one.:thumbsdown:
How long did it take them to e-mail you the FedEx label. I talked to them yesterday about replacing mine and have not gotten it yet. It seems like it would be something that would come right away.
This card should be back up soon. I just got off the phone with them about getting a new one and mentioned it showed that they were OOS on it. The guy said they took them off temorarily to sort through the boxes. Apparently they have 3 different versions of the card in the same box with the...
I have e-mailed geeks 2 times since last week about mine being DOA but have gotten no response. Will they respond or do I have to call them on the phone? I don't know that I can call them from work and they are closed by the time I get home.
The picture on their website is still not the same fan as what you get.
It is more of a round heatsink with a big fan in side. It is a very quiet fan though. Even though I had problems with mine I could not even hear the fan running even with my case open. (And I did check to make sure it...
Appears to be DOA! Corrupted screens till window logo which is fine then blank and then windows crashes with the blue memory dump screen. Theirwebsite has no bios update although the manual said there could be updates avaliable. Not real familiar with video card bios. Like to see if anyone...
FYI this card is not fanless. Possible DDR3 memory.
Got mine today and it has a big copper colored fan heat sink that only takes up the one bay. I don't really care if it has a fan or not but for anyone that does be aware it does. Have not installed it yet so I don't know how loud it is...
Thanks!
Used it and in for one. $37.25 shipped.
I just need this card to last till summer and I can get a better one for my 8400 build. As long as it performs as well as my 7300gt I should be happy. I use it for cadd so I think it will be just fine with a little mild gaming.
They have always been long, even in if you look back to the originals. I guess it is suppost to help you get into the story behind it all. I found myself skipping them in the beginning of the game and towards the end I guess I got more interested in the story becuase I was watching them to see...
Please update when you do as this is the route I am looking to take. I don't want to buy a cheap cpu just to flash the bios. I guess I could get a cheap used one to do it though.
Can anyone confirm if they have used that ram and this motherboard together. I would like to pair the two if possible. I don't over clock if that makes a difference.
Bah! I have been in the hot deals forum at least 6 times today, I can't believe I missed this one! OOS! of course. :thumbsdown: I will have to keep checking it now. Seems to have worked for a couple of people here.
