    Motherboard tier list: X99 chipset

    GT von I knew it! Thank you so much for confirmation. I'm stuck with the motherboard so buyer beware. Just because they say E-ATX form factor doesn't mean that's what you'll get. To be fair the AS Rock motherboard is working just fine for now but it's really disappointing to do so much research...

    ASROCK OC Formula x99 error message

    I need to delete this thread! I found out how to fix what was going on and can't find a way to delete this? Administrators? I seriously thought that this wasn't posted since I did have the error code. However it did post and I apologize for the confusion.

    ASROCK OC Formula x99 error message

    Hi computer gurus! I'm stuck on an error message. I bought this motherboard and there are nothing but problems with it. I am now stuck on the 99 error read message which states "Problem related to PCI-E devices. Please re-install devices or try installing them in other slots. If the problem...

    Motherboard tier list: X99 chipset

    I love the list but I have a question. I purchased an AS Rock X99 OC Formula. This motherboard is supposed to have the E-ATX form factor but it measures 12" x 10", which makes no sense to me. The box it came in states clearly Form Factor: E-ATX and I'm concerned that I got ripped off by...

    Best Computer Memory: March 2015 (Archive)

    Thank you. I'll look for some and add it to the rest of the order. I figured it would be limited but reliability was key and appreciate the videos and articles on actual RAM performance. If I can save money in the long run it could be put towards the graphics cards.

    Best Computer Memory: March 2015 (Archive)

    Here's something that never seems to be answered when I read the majority of reviews. I realize many of these components are for gaming but there are some people, such as myself, who tweaks them for content creation since the ROI is a bit better for me. I've used some motherboards, RAM, and...

    New video card will not install.

    Alright, I followed the directions and the old drivers were uninstalled with the program pretty quickly. The program I downloaded to uninstall them worked perfectly! It shut down after uninstalling, I restarted the computer, and installed the new drivers from from the NVIDIA website. Going...

    New video card will not install.

    Ha ha! Got it to boot into Windows and now I'm trying to get it to uninstall drivers through the Control Panel. It seems to be taking forever and going nowhere. It's been running steady for 5 hrs with no issues so far. However it just doesn't want to uninstall the drivers from the old card - I...

    New video card will not install.

    Dorosh, You're correct that the only I changed here was the video card. I started unplugging and restarting the computer with each drive separately. I agree. I unplugged the top drive (I'll call it Drive A) and the message came up as follows without allowing me to boot into BIOS when plugged...

    New video card will not install.

    Dorosh the problem is that it will not boot into windows. As copied verbatim I'm stuck at the black screen with white text and have no idea what to do next. I've unplugged and reseated the card, making sure all connections are squeaky clean, unfortunately I'm stumped and listed above all other...

    New video card will not install.

    Okay, here I am again trying to figure out what I did wrong since 90% of the time new installs are carbon based errors. I've listed my system specs again and updated the video card. Thanks again Woldfshadow and Nostall! Windows 7 x64 OS MSI P7N SLI Motherboard 2 Nvidia GTX 8800 video cards via...

    How can I replace video cards on a motherboard that supports DDR3 technology?

    I feel ridiculous because since I've decided to go solo and work part time in order to get my own business off the ground - my computer failed. More accurately my two Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX cards failed. I got them brand spanking new when they came out and they've died this week so I'd really...
