The Silencer was installed perfectly back in June. Also, the card was rarely even stressed. I haven't played any games since late June. It started crashing a month ago.
My Sapphire 9800 pro died on me this week and I got an RMA number from Newegg. However, I had altered the card (sort of) by removing the stock heatsink/fan and installing a VGA Silencer. Just now while attempting to reinstall the stock heatsink I noticed one of the black pins needed to hold the...
I was running a TBred B 1700+ @ 2000 MHz with 1.6 vcore and the cpu temp was about 41C at idle. I just installed a mobile Barton 2600+ and it is currently running at 2000 MHz with 1.45 vcore and the cpu temp is about 41C at idle. Do Bartons run hotter than TBred B's because of the double cache...
The Windows clock gets its initial time from the motherboard when it boots up, but how does the clock keep accurate time after that?
I'm having a very stange problem with my Windows XP clock. Sometimes when my computer boots up the Windows XP clock runs very fast, about 9 minutes too fast...
Ok, I just redid the swapping of the Duron and Celeron motherboards. This time the Celeron powered up fine in the Duron case, so I can now eliminate that power switch and any other components in the Duron case. Meanwhile, the Duron installed in the Celeron case still does not power up at all...
On Saturday night my Mom's computer shut down fine. When she pushed the power button Sunday morning nothing powered up, including the fans. The system, a Duron 800, has been running flawlessly for two years. I tried a different power supply with no success. I tested the power cord and the...
Most people use either WCPUID or CPU-Z to see what their cpus are running at.
That Athlon XP 1600+ is a Palomino. Unfortunately, Palominos run pretty hot and are lousy overclockers. What you want is the Thoroughbred B 1700+. I just recently upgraded from a Palomino 1600+ to a TBred 1700+...
I would go with F1's suggestion, the Panaflo 92mm high output(56cfm, 35dB). Good balance of power and noise. I'm picky about noise level so I wouldn't want to go above 35dB.
I found a solution to the problem. In bios I changed the voltages option from "default" to "user define", but I left the voltages at the default values. For whatever reason, the ram voltage is now normal.
When I first got my NF7-S mobo a few weeks ago I installed all my stuff, including 2 256MB crucial pc2100 dimms. When I first turned the system on I went into the bios menu to check my settings. The Vcc voltage, which I've been told is the ram voltage, was set to be 2.6v but it was actually...
My motherboard is v2.0. When I installed the 2 256MB dimms I put them in slots 3 and 2 so they would run in dual channel. Now I just have the one dimm in slot 3.
I'm running a palomino 1600+ on an Abit NF7-S nforce2 motherboard w/ Crucial PC2100 ram. The voltage for the ram is apparently supposed to be 2.6v. However, with one 256MB dimm installed my bios and motherboard monitor both read the ram voltage as 2.74v. When I had two 256MB dimms installed...
I called visiontek yesterday because I hadn't gotten a rebate check after three months. They told me they have no record of any rebate form sent in by me. Obviously I'm majorly PO'd.
This might be a dumb question, but does anyone know if the Visiontek 6564 retail box has the same UPC now that it did back in November? The reason I ask is I bought the card from Best Buy after Thanksgiving when they had the two $50 rebates. I sent my rebate form in to get the mail-in rebate...
Well, I've elimated any software problem as the cause of my lockups. The system locks up even when it is at the bios settings screen. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that the lockups are being caused by either the power supply or the motherboard.
Sorry, I thought I put my power supply details in my post. I am using a Powerman 300W ps that came with my in-win s500 case. From what I've seen so far, the 5V of the ps is always a little below 5(maybe 4.88) and the 12V is always a little below 12.
My hard drive is an IBM 60GXP. I did have...
Ok, this is the third time since I upgraded my system back in November that I've been hit with repeated lockups. You would think by now I'd have some kind of idea why the lockups are occurring, but I'm actually getting more confused with time. The first time lockups happened was shortly after I...
