Awesome, thanks a lot pIII_man. =)

Could anyone walk me through the steps to OC my system? AMD Barton 2500 Abit NF7-S Kingston HyperX pc3500 Thanks.

OK, I just got home and turned the pc on for the first time since I cleaned up the cpu earlier and re-applied the thermal paste and that seems to have made a big difference. I'm now running at about 42C at idle. I haven't had a chance to run any games yet, so I don't know if this has taken care...

It's n Antec True 480. Sorry about that I typed Abit by mistake. I haven't changed the voltage at all, so everything should be default. The temps I get using the app that came with the mobo shows the temps at around 52C when idle and 55/56C after playing games for awhile. That dosen't seem hot...

Bump, anyone else?

OK, I built a new pc in late spring and have recentely started running into some trouble. There are teo seperate problems that are probably related. 1) - My pc has started lately to shut off and go into some kind of an alarm mode. The only thing I can do is to turn off the switch on the power...

If anyone could offer some help I’d really appreciate it. I just upgraded to a Gainward GF 4 4200 from a GF 2. I’m really liking the card but I’ve come across a few problems with some games. In Dungeon Seige and Warlords Battlecry I’m running into problems. My pc freezes up completely and I’m...

Ok, I'm looking to buy an interim card. Something to get me by until Doom 3 comes out. Then of course I'll drop the big bucks on whatever is newest. What I'm looking at is a Gainward GF4 4200 w/64 megs ram or a GF3 TI200 w/128 megs ram. The GF3 is a bit cheaper and I like the idea of an extra...

Not a thing? Worked one day and not the next!

I have an old Creative cd-rw thats worked fine up until a couple of days ago. I'm using Nero 5.0.31 and when I try to burn anything, audio, data it asks for me to insert a blank cdr and when I do it dosen't do anything. If I put a blank cdr in before i start Nero it ejects and asks for a blank...

OK, I just traded out my old Duron 800 for a T-Bird 1.3. On the recommendation of other I also picked up a better heatsink/fan. I went with a Volcano 7. Now when I install my cpu with the new heatsink/fan, I am unable to boot up. I can't even get to my bios. As soon as I turn the pc on I get a...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what settings to use for an 1.3mhz T-Bird? I just got one used and I'm not sure what voltage, ect. to set it for. I'm using an Abit KT7 mobo with the latest bios. Thanks.

Whew, thanks! I was worried I might have to reinstall or something. Again, thanks.

Ok, I just got Win XP and decided to do a clean install. I partioned and formatted my drive and then installed XP. When i boot up now i get to a screen that asks if I want to start my XP OS or an unidentified OS on drive C. If I do nothing it takes me to Xp in 20 seconds. If I hit the take me to...

Does anyone have any tips for setting up the brightness and contrast on a new montor? I picked up a Samsung 19" 955df, and am pretty happy with it for the price I paid, but I do have a question. In the middle of the screen in a small area it seems like the text in not quite as sharp as it is...
