Yes, a wireless PCI adapter card I suppose.

I have maybe a 7-10 year old modem that I've been using in my home-built computer. (D-Link Airplus G DWL-G510 Wireless PCI Adapter (rev.B). Modem is pretty old, plus my computer has been unstable since I built it 2 years ago, so I figure I might as well buy a new modem that actually has...

I did that first. No difference, regardless of which stick I put in which slot.

I have the same chip, and a similar motherboard. When I do the OC turbo, it sets the speed to 4300 mhz. Is that too fast? My computer freezes sometimes, so I wonder if it's because it's overclocked.

So I tried the 1600 9-9-9-24 1.5, and it froze more often. With the DOCP value at 1866, I notice that if I set the DRAM voltage to 1.55 it freezes less often, but I don't know that if making it go up even higher is safe. Any other suggestions?

Okay, so I updated BIOS to version 5107, set the DOCP to those settings, but still didn't find a way in BIOS to set NB voltage (the UEFI just has offset ratings, no voltage settings that I could see). So I got AMD Overdrive and increased the voltage that way, from: NB VID Target 1.1875...

I figured out what the DOCP thing is, and it set to those numbers, but I don't have a way to set NB voltage that I can see. Here's a link to an article on the UEFI bios I have: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/06/07/asus_sabertooth_990fx_motherboard_review/2#.UWBEPlf5RIQ (Note: I don't...

What are the timings and voltage? What is docp/eocp?

My newly home-built computer is randomly freezing, and I thought maybe the BIOS needs to be updated. But I've read in some forums that you shouldn't update without a compelling reason, so now I'm nervous. I don't want to break my computer in my effort to fix it. Should I update the bios, and...

I have never fiddled with RAM speeds, so please excuse my noobiness, and all the info I've seen online is mentioned tCK and COPD or some such and I don't know what they're talking about, so if you can answer and be a bit more specific, please let me nkow. I have 2 4GB G.Skill Sniper sticks...

I put the 24-pin power cable from the PSU into the motherboard, and it is mostly in, but there's a tab on the side of the connector that's supposed to clip over the motherboard outlet (whatever it's called) and it's definitely not able to do that. It's just kinda sticking out. Also, it looks...

As I said, the i/o shield doesn't snap into place.

It fits just fine, but it just falls off if I don't hold it in. It doesn't seem like there's anything for it to snap into. What am I doing wrong? Here's the case: BitFenix Merc Beta Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345015
