Hi everybody Have just finished installing Vista. I bought a new dvd, this one with S-ATA and it worked from the beginning:) Thx a lot for all your efforts and help:) /Peter

Thx for all your good advice during the night. Have school now but will pick up a new dvd-drive on the way home with S-ATA. There are lots of good ideas and I will try them tonight. Was thinikng about the Rams as well. The 8800gt is so long I think I have to remove it on order to get two of the...

Yes, was actually thinking of that... If nothing else to get rid of the huge IDE-cable:)

Could it be as simple as there's something wrong with any of the hardware I bought? CPU: e6850, Motherboard: MSI P35 NEO-FR, Hdd Seagate: 750GB Memory: 4x1Gb... The Cpu seems to be working fine. Have run some tests and played a game (on the old hdd..) HDD: It has been formatted and the...

oh, its set to boot from teh 750gb drive

Ok. I'm sorry if I can't make myself understood. I have to Sata hdd's. One old and one new. It was never my intention to use both, just the new. Since I haven't been able to install Vista or Xp on the new one i Replaced it with the old one. This I did in order to be able to search the internet...

I'm not running an IDE and a SATA. just the SATA. And its in the #1 SATA port. I've run vista since spring and noway I'm going back to XP. I haven't had any problems and really like the way it looks:) More Ideas?

Hi there. Thx for your answers:) Yes, its a SATA drive and its the only one I use. (Im writing this on the "new computer". I didn't think it was possible to connect the old hdd to my new hardware but its working...) The hdd i bought (750) shows up in BIOS. As soon as I got the old drive to work...

lol, I'm sorry;) My previous computer was an AMD 64 4000 with Asus motherboard and all the other usual stuff. The problem I'm having with my new computer, and as I tried to explain, is that when I try to install Vista, or XP, on my new computer it freezes or reboots after a few seconds. When I...

Hi. Just bought some new components for my computer: CPU (e6850), Motherboard (MSI P35 NEO-FR) Geforce 8800GT and a new harddrive (Seagate 750GB). My problem is that I can't install Vista 32- or 64bit, or XP for that matter. When I insert the dvd it spins up and on my screen I can see...

Hehe lunyone:) I've been trying to read up on the different motherboards you all suggested. Its not that easy. At the moment I'm a student so the money is kind of an issue but I'd rather pay more and end up with a computer that will last a little longer. With that being said I think I'm leaning...

Thx johnyeah! I think more and more that you're totally right. I keep on staring myself blind on numbers. The test you linked to, which I had seen already but I concentrated on the x38:s, shows that there is vitually no difference at all between them. A difference you might notice in...

Thx lockdownx1 x I think I will give it at try with the one I have first. After all it cost me something me like 230$ (sucks to live in Sweden;), but I will have it in mind, if not before then when I get the next Graphics card:) I keep on asking you for the motherboard issue. which one would...

Ok, thx for your input:) Anyone else out there with any suggestions for me before I order? Kind regards Peter

Hi agin;) Well, I am thinking about it and would like to do it. What do you think about the PSU? I think it would be suffiecient for that computer, but perhaps not for next gen graphics card? Any ideas regarding my choice of Motherboard?
