Just tried it with and LCD (vga connector) and displays the same damn thing. What the hell is this? Let me explain this further, when I walk around and look at the ground, every few seconds it chops, like it's losing a few frames and fast forwards to them... something like that. How the hell...

Games: Halo PC, UT3, HL2, L4D, CoD5, FC2. AA setting is 4x for the newer titles. I don't think the HDD is active during chops. I don't think L4D and UT3 chopped on me when I ran them on my older PC at 25-30fps. This seems to be consistent with the way Halo PC started chopping after I got a new...

Hello, I just got a new system yesterday: CPU: Phenom 2 940 (3.0GHz quad core) Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4 GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD4870 1GB Toxic RAM: A-DATA 4GB CL5 HDD: Samsung 500GB 16MB buffer Sata 2 PSU: Enermax Pro82+ 625W OS: Vista x64 The system works fine, but when I run games I get...

Hello, I just got my new PC today and noticed something weird. I have an Enermax Neo case with a 120mm side fan with speed and directional control, coupled with an Enermax Pro82+ 625W PSU. The fan control has 3 states: in take, out take and OFF. When I switch the control from in take or out...

I tried that, and it seems the board will work with 2x512MB modules in dual mode, but with only one of my 256MB modules. One off the 256MB modules is causing problems, might be related to the 0.2V+ voltage required to operate the 1GB pair. In a not so related note, the 2x256MB modules where...

I tried putting one of the 256MB modules in with the 2x512MB modules, and the POST screen showed only 512MB, and refused to enter BIOS or boot. It worked fine after removing the module. Anyway, I'm still not sure that it's possible to do Single Mode, with 2 pairs of different size memory. Is...

Hey badge, thanks for the info. Do you mean that alternating the DIMMs in the slots will make the board treat them as single channel?

Hello, I own a Gigabyte GA-K8N SLi motherboard, and currently I have 2x512MB DDR400 DIMMs installed (Crucial Ballistix 2.8v). Now, I have an older 2x256MB DDR400 kit (GeIL), with corresponding timing specs, but those are suppose to operate at 2.6-2.7 (though it seems people can make them run at...

Hey bobble, It's bad news for you, sadly. The short story: threw away the mobo The Long story: I took that PC to a lab and they couldn't make it work, even after changing any piece of hardware including the PSU. After I bought a new mobo (non Asus, just to be safe) + cpu + gfx card, it was...

Man, newegg.com only delivers within the US, and furthermore, they only receive american credit cards. This sucks. Might have to ask some relatives of mine to pick up the check...

Hey marneus, I did try it with the original PSU and it still acted up, and I don't use a surge protector... I should actually try to power it up from a different outlet just to be sure it's not a power issue.

Thanks for the info guys, 939 sounds promising, though I'm fixed for some reason on the NF2-4 chipset for the mobo... have no idea what ULi is. Anyhow, I'm going to pass through 2 pc retailers/labs near my place before work tomorrow morning, so I may ask them to run a check on my hardware, and...

I found an ASUS A7N8X-X for about $80, and it's pretty accessibly once I get my other components checked. Though I now think of the worst case scenario where my CPU gets fried a day after I get the new board... should I consider going for a diffrent socket mobo with a new sempron?
