I normally upgrade the BIOS when an update is available.. I do this with all hardware; phone, TV, router, sound bar - never had issues with firmware updates with other hardware. This is the first time I have ever had an issue after upgrading the firmware on a Gigabyte mainboard. Over the last...

Hi All, Having a nightmare with my PC. It has been stable since I built it August 2021; Aorus x570 Master Rev1.2 - Running firmware F36 stable but issues since flashing to F37c 2x8gb(32gb) kits Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200 RGB Ryzen 9 5900x Corsair H100i -latest firmware Antec PSU1976...

Hi guys. Ive ran memtest on my pc all day and when I came back to it it was still running without any errors listed. Ive install FarCry and ran it and put all the options to their highest, it ran fine. I played it for about half and hour. I installed mostwanted and turned all the gaming...

Yea, i tried both 512s seperatley, and left the 256s out alltogether. Ive had those sticks in my pc for 3 years and they have been fine, ive never had my system crashes in games before. I did turn up some of the graphical effects on COD2, I ran it on the lowest and it didnt crash. Should I...

Ive just played Call Of Duty 2, it ran for 5minutes then hanged the pc like it did with 3dmark on the first test - which I managed to get running fine after installing the 84.43 drivers. Has anyone had issues with call of duty 2 and their 7800? Al

Im thinking about getting an Antec "true power" 600w PSU. Fair point about the ram. I bought my 7800 from the place I work, the only thing I bought 2nd hand was my motherboard, which I just had to do a bios update on it so it would run my 3.4 cpu properly. Can anyone tell if my system is...

Thanks for replying guys. I only fitted the 400w PSU because I wanted to get the system up and running. The cases dont come with PSUs, and all I had at work was the crappy sumvision ones. Do you reckon the 7800 consumes too much power from a PSU like that? I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted...

Hi all. I have just fitted my new motherboard (bought 2nd hand from Ebay)in a new case, and a brand new Gainward 7800GS 512mb. I have done a fresh install of XP Pro+SP2. I thought I would install 3DMark06 to see how well my new card runs but it hangs the screen and theres different coloured...

Thanks for all your input guys. I now have prime95 and use it. I found that version 4.0 of Hot Cpu has a bug where it incorrectly reports some chips as having faulty L2 cache. I downloaded their latest version 4.3 and it ran for 6 hours and completed all the tests. After running it on...

The 3.4 runs at up 68''C while under load (running games) etc, the 2.4 never used to run above 55''C under load. My coolermaster Aero is rated to 3.6GHz so should be fine. All the memory modules in the PC are kingston DDR400 and of the same type. They are not dual channel though. I have kept...
