As a long time Anandtech member (2002) I have enjoyed reading, benefitting from, and contributing to the forum. This time however I...
Update: Co-Worker went to check it out. Drive through was wrapped around the entire building and out into the street. I told him to wait it out :)
Sweet! Popeyes is the best. Just opened a new one right next to my work too. Gonna get some for lunch :) Nice find.
Not that anybody really probably cares, but academic software isn't licensed for commercial use. It's the same exact program but its use implies it's for educational/non-commercial use. I personally don't care what people use it for, but if you are a business owner thinking of using this for...
Most of the boxes are gay in decoration. I'm not sure what the problem is. Look up the word gay in the dictionary.
2. bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments.
Anyway back to the original topic. You don't see such lame packaging on most other components. I think it would make...
It's either a wolfman in a ninja suit, a frog with a machine gun, or a cheesily rendered laura croft wannabe. It makes the product feel cheap to me to have such crappy (and pointless) art on the box. Maybe it's like an inside thing that they gayer your box art is the better your card is.
I would upate your audio drivers first just to quickly rule that out. You will also want to use PC Wizard to check the temp and power going to your computer. Insufficient juice running to your stuff when under load can cause your computer to lock up. You could also try removing the sound card...
So you are running two video cards? One onboard Intel VGA and one PCI(e) with VGA? I wasn't sure because typically you don't get both DVI and VGA on an on-board card. If you are running two separate cards that is probably where the issue comes in.
The reason I suspect this is because when...
I can't tell you for sure that case will fit. I would search for reviews of the case and try to spot comments like "case is a bit small, video was a tight fit" or "my video card didnt' fit, had to send it back". If you don't see these odds are it might be ok.
That power supply will be fine...
As long as you know the RAM you tried from another system is good then you have ruled that out. Bad video / improperly seated video can cause the same symptoms. I used to have that motherboard too. I remember. I don't believe it's the video, but take it to a friends house and pop it in just...
Yes you can.... you can just swap the hardware out and boot back up. Windows will automatically force you to re-activate so be prepared to call it in.
However the best part of new hardware is having a fresh OS install. No matter how clean you are your hard drive gets junked up over time. A...
It's probably toast. I have a 512mb cruzer micro on my keychain with no cap on the USB port and it's been submerged in the river, dropped, chewed on by my dog, and all around abused and it still works great.
The thing you wanna look for is a drive that is sealed pretty well. Any drive with...
Asus p5b deluxe wifi ap
intel e4300
2 gig ramz ddr 800
geforce 9700 gs
WD raptor x sata main
500gb maxtor sata secondary
enermax liberty 500w psu
NOS sticker (for extra speed)
I had the CPU clocked up to 3ghz for a long time. I had some suspicions that it might be causing the system...
It's plugged to the surge protector that is powering my other devices. I tried going straight to the wall, 2 outlets, 2 power cables. Again the mobo is lighting up, so I know there is power.
IMO uninstall that junk. Norton has been total cheese for a while now. There are free and better options available. Here is what I would recommend:
antivirus
AVG Free This has a small footprint and works great
firewall
Sygate Personal Firewall Another free program that is simple...
I second that opinion. You will be ok. It's not uncommon to have gobs of that stuff on the heatsink anyway. As long as it looks relatively good I say go for it. Just watch the temps and make sure it doesn't get too hot. If you are really worried go ahead and order more paste and reapply...
EDIT: I tested the system with a multimeter today and there was absolutely no power going to any of the plugs. Strange the motherboard LED lights up but there is nothing going to any of the molex or motherboard connectors that the multimeter can pick up. Perhaps it is so faint.
I built my...
If you have an nvidia card download the latest drivers and set the resolution through the nv control panel. Not sure why windows keeps reverting to an incompatible resolution.
My guess is that new drivers and setting res through the respective utility MIGHT help. Good luck!
I've used mushkin memory in several builds in the past. It's always been great. Had a stick mysteriously go bad a few days after installed and they fronted a new stick overnight for free. Pretty sweet.
While this browswer is pretty darn fast, it doesnt support the back button on your mouse. Noticed this about 10 seconds after I installed it. Completely worthless.
That's a solid price, but I'd hope anyone building a system that high end would be using a power supply with modular cables. Really makes for a cleaner build.
Good deal tho if you need all that power and are running up on your budget.
There are two types of inquiries. Every single mailing you get that says you are pre-approved for a visa or whatever actually shows up on your credit report, but doesn't affect your score.
I believe the type of inquiry you did does affect the score, but multiple hits in a short period of...
I've seen a few times on the MMA shows on ESPN and stuff where this dude takes an unopened can of coke in his left hand and jabs his index finger of his right hand clean through the can, spraying fizz and soda all over the place. Pretty impressive. I wanted to show someone at work but can't...
Yeah you should hop on it, but I have a rant about them if you care to read below.
They're ok. Newegg has a shorter processing time so your orders get there faster. Also they don't like to ship to an address other than your CC billing address. If you like to ship to your work for example...
Mine came today. V1.1 confirmed on the black. Still time to get in on this today if anyone wants one! Looks like a really nice case! (haven't taken it out of the box yet hehe)
