if you're not into updating, why not go back to windows xp to save even more space? in the world of software development and deadlines I would hope that everyone keeps up with software updates. coding efforts cost a lot of money. and the money spent of creating the updates do not create...

you're at the leisure of the hardware. the least you can do right now is reisntall windows on a separate drive and then try to boot up. if that works then you can try to reformat the original windows drive and reinstall and try again. the worst if if you fried hard drive, motherboard, ram. But...

for sure the rosewill lighting 1000w will be sufficient for your build. not sure why you would even wonder at the price of the rosewill $160 you can get any atx PSU and it will be sufficient for your build.

Shamar is correct to be concerned. Under clocking memory is no good at all. Fix this before doing anything else. then let us know how it goes. Here's an article that goes over what you need to do http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/memory/how_to_manually_set_up_your_ram_speed_timings_and_voltage/1

First of all, where is your display connected to? the new gpu or directly to the motherboard? Second, make sure you into your motherboard's bios to select the primary VGA adapter as the PCI-E device. Third. How do you know its using the on board and not the gpu? Question 1 will help answer...

being that all the asus 1440ps are out of stock right now i think they'll get a few biters. i say in about a year or so we'll start seeing prices normalize.

Ok m on it, will update u once i finish it, i have ordered 212X cpu fan and can i skip the cleaning alcohol, as i am not finding it in my city(Aurangabad), India, and really thanx , ur post was of much help, i think there is problem with the cpu fan, lets see what r the results after i install...

if you drop a Hard Disk hard while it is in use it most likely is damaged beyond repair. to fix something like this is more expensive than buying a new drive.

chairs are unexpectedly expensive. ever though of getting some cheap wood or metal chair at a garage sale then getting a removable padding so you can wash it if this ever happens again.

9 times out of 10 this is because of your ram. being that you got pretty fast ram, make sure to set the timings, latency, and voltage properly in your bios. Before I started using performance ram this was not an issue, but once I moved to performance ram the settings makes a huge difference...

two things that will make it fast: 1. Memory. At only 2GB's its holding you down. I suggest 4GB because you're using 32bit xp. 8GB if you would switch to 64 bit. 2. SSD get a 128GB SSD or 250GB if you can afford it. with these two upgrades you'll see a huge difference even with your old hardware.

I have been running a i7 2600k for the last 2 years mostly O/C'd at 4.2 gHz and have not ran into any temperature issues and or even a single crash with the same setup as I have described above. My cpu idles at ~38C and tops out somewhere near 55C even under stress testing. Also I use RealTemp...

there might be a reason why the techs do not know what you are talking about. not sure if anyone can help you with the info that you have provided. First of all, are you technically inclined? Have you configured other modems before? If so the short answer would be for you to do a factory reset...

If you frequent this forum you will see most people opt to keep their setup and push it until the next big change happens. I happen to agree with the previous posters in that the AMD Phenom X4 Black Editions are at the edge of performance to upgrade ratio. If you had anything less I'd...

this is why i frequent Toms so often. Questions like this are often answered by Toms before I have to do any dirty work. The article basically tells you that Skyrim is very CPU dependent, and secondly that it doesn't work well in Crossfire. Pick another game and then compare the difference...
