Alright Rahul i did everything you said except put the ram in 1 at a time. Well i did that and bingo baby we have lift off!!!! I am so happy i have a site like this to go to when im really stumped. As i gain more knowledge i will definetly try to return the favor for ppl that are like i was...

Alright here is an update of where im at. I switched power supplies and the same beep came back so we can rule that out. I also now know its not the case as i took it out of the case and tried. I keep coming back to its ethier the processor or the motherboard. I dont have another processor to...

Just looked underneath the MB and pulled an extra stand-off out of the case. Fired the motherboard back up and still have the beeping with no video :(. Im at wits end here. Anyone else have any suggestions short of throwing the whole rig out my window id be happy to hear them.

I just built a new comp for a buddy of mine. Got it all put together and when i hit power button i get no video and short constant beeps until i power the system back down. All of the fans work fine. I messed around with alot of things and have it down to two possibilites. The beeping stopped...

Just wondering what the difference is if any between Pixelpipelines and Stream processors. I see that the pixelpipelines only go up to 24 units on the most expensive cards but stream processors or processing units can go up as high as 800 units at the moment. So i guess what im asking is...

Ive been buying biostar boards as of late and so far so good. Otherwise Asus and Giaabyte are more proven over time.

Ok yes eklipz i am going with intel. This is gonna be a gaming rig. Heres what id like. Socket 775,at least 1 pcie 2.0 slot 2 would be nice, at least able to hold 4 gigs of DDR2 ram 800, 8 gigs or better prefered, no onboard video as i here that hampers OCing a bit. Thats all i can think...

Oh i wasnt looking for specific boards. Just the codes like X48 or something so i could narrow my search and go from there. On the site im going to right now there was something like 13,000 mobos. Not all different but still alot to go through to see all of the ones with crossfire.So if i knew...

Hey guys i just need a list of crossfire able motherboards. I know there's X38, X48, p45, and p35. But is that all of them. Or are there others. Im buying a motherboard with crossfire and want to look at all of my options. If someone could make me a list maybe newest to oldest or best to...

Ok ty Mondo. I dont know much about this stuff at all. Im putting my 1st build together and just tyring to have it go as smoothly as possible. Are thier any boards that are just plain easier to work with than others then?

Ok ill look at that. I have my video card all picked out and it even dropped $5.00 in the mean time:). So i dont need the onboard video. But thats good to know as im off to finalize my mobo selection.

Alright guys im gonna go with the e2180. Ill oc with stock cooling and see if i can get the results i want. If not ill go with after market cooling and see if that helps. If i can hit 2.8 to 3 for now ill be more then happy. I just have to say that i am very grateful at how many people have...

Hi im building my first computer and ordering my parts come monday. I want to oc my cpu and maybe a few other things after i get it built. But i dont want to burn everything up. Is there such thing as a newb ocing motherboard. Or maybe one that will warn me or just not accept something im trying...

Ok ty Noya ill take note of that. How do i know if the motherboard is a good overclocker or not though? Are thier any name brands that are notriously better at overclocking then others or is it just a case of make or model? Also an easy interface would be nice because this is gonna be my first...

Well m3d thats the second set of charts that tells me to just go with a good name brand value ram. I do play games alot but most of my games are 2 to 5+ years old and ive never been much of a graphics/fps guy. As long as i can play them smooth at medium settings im fine. This build is just...
