Advanced Agile, I did see that on another forum, this is the one related to having two AMD GFX cards right? I tried that. However. this wasn't the problem for my system Apparently the P67 chipset has had lots of problems with SSD's, and this was what was causing the BSODs. I took me forever to...

Memtest (8 passes) reported no problems, I did however receive a new BSOD and two more freezes while attempting to play games. Pic of of new BSOD below. Still can't get it to do minidumps (any advice?), however I now have 6 entries in event viewer, each having the keyword "0x8000000000000002"...

Crystal mark didn't show any problems with my two HDD's, it also doesn't seem to work with my SSD, is that supposed to happen? I'll look into the ram configuration, although I already had and replaced a bad ram stick so I know the ram itself is good since I've run memtest many times. I found...

No problems detected, what else can I try? Checking file system on C: The type of the file system is NTFS. A disk check has been scheduled. Windows will now check the disk. CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 5)... 164096 file records processed...

Hello Everyone, I'm getting a kernel data inpage error BSOD on windows 7 ultimate x64. It seems to happen randomly regardless of activity (idle, gaming, video playback) and I'm having trouble finding the cause. The computer will not save dump files. So I've attached a picture of the BSOD, and...

Hello everyone, I'm currently deciding between two idea pad laptops by lenovo (since I have access to the employee discount), both are in the 570 series, the main difference between the two is that one has a i5 at 2.33ghz with 4gb of ddr 1333mhz ramn, and the second one has an i7 with 8gb of...

Okay so I've made some more decisions and my setup has changed a little bit. Here’s why: I would like to run emulators for ps2, gamecube and wii on the system. Check them out here if you are interested. Based on what I've read these can’t do SLI or crossfire so I will spend a little more to...

Good advice everyone , here is my new and improved (and cheaper!) setup. ASRock Z68 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Intel Core i5-2500K Processor Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 eVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Superclocked...

Thank you all for your input, especially striker410, you sir are awesome. Here is my new setup: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Intel Core i5-2500K Processor (any good reason to spend $100 for the core i7?) 2x Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333MHz...

so if this will be hooked up to a 1080p tv eventually would 1gb on each card be just fine?

What is the benefit of having more memory on the card? would it be worth paying $30~50 more for each card?

Okay I'm starting to learn a lot, Thanks Guys! I like the look of the Z68, pretty reasonable price too. How about these for the GPU's EVGA 012-P3-1470-RX GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card although the ones I found at my price...

Thanks for the advice, I didn't realize that icore 7's were that close in price to the high end core 2 duos. thinking of maybe switching the motherboard to something like this: ASUS Socket 1366/Intel X58/Quad SLI & Quad CrossFireX/SATA3.0&USB3.0/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard s SABERTOOTH X58...

Hello everyone. I am a fairly novice computer user and I am trying to build a powerful gaming/home media pc on a budget. I’m trying to spend under $1200 to start and through finding various deals online I have come up with this setup. I was wondering if you could kindly look over my setup...
