Hi We had a powercut on Sunday (the whole area) and I think its now causing my computer problems. After the power cut on Sunday I turned my computer on and it was fine. I turned it on on Monday and it gave no picture or post beep (keyboard/mouse lights wernt on either). I restarted it and it...

I think its a DVI to DVI? Im not sure about the cables, its the white one with the long thin connector instead of the blue fat one :) I used the exact cables with each LCD monitor I tried. WOrked on one of them, not the other (mine).

Hi After windows loads (right after the loading bar) the screen just goes blank and says no siginal (before the login screen). This is on a new motherboard. The system works pefectly fine with an analogue or my other Digital monitor, but this monitor doesnt want to boot. I have tried putting...

I did a bare post to try and get it working (Put motherboard on the removable motherboard tray on the wooden desk with cpu, ram, gfx card and PSU hooked up, nothing).

Just bought a new motherboard... I accidently put the 6pin connector (the one used for graphics cards) into the 2 x 4 connector (the one for the CPU). Fitted it without forcing, tried to turn machine on but absolutely nothing. So I realised what an idiot I was so I took that 6pin out and put...

Ok. I suppose ram is really cheap now anyway. Thank you for your help :)

Its been running at 1066mhz (thats the same as PC2-8500 right?) the whole time, I cant get it to boot at 800mhz. Im pretty sure the voltages are being set automatically. The memory is not on the 'supported list' although the 800mhz modules are (the crucial ballistix PC2-6400, mine say PC2-8500...

No I dont think so. I tried putting the freq to 800mhz with those timings, but I had to leave all the voltage settings on Auto. If I put it on manual I have to set all the other voltages too (or leave them on normal...if thats right). If I leave the voltage settings at auto, will it be at 1.8V...

I dont have the High Speed DRAM DLL settings, because I think its the bios version 1.1, so I cant test that =/. (I tested each ram sticks separately today, each for at least 6 hours, and they are working fine)

I have found out that the voltage setting for the ram is the setting where you add 0.05V intervals to the default voltage.....but how do I find out this default voltage? (as in I could be adding it to 1.5V or 1.8V, I dont know). (just figured out how to quick edit, sorry for double post).

I set the freq to 800mhz (well I think I did, I changed the "system memory multiplier" until the freq showed 800 instead of 1066mhz). I put the timings to 5-5-5-18, but I dont know where to set the voltage. The main voltage control is on auto I think, but even when its on manual theres no...

Hmm maybe I looked at the wrong table when settings the timings for 400mhz. I think the ram voltage is set at auto, because I cant see any ram voltage settings, only a ram voltage overclock settings (+ 0.0something V). What does the table actually mean? Should I have set the timings @ 800mhz...

I have just bought a new motherboard which seems to be incompatable with my ram. The motherboard is a Gigabyte P35-DQ6. The ram is Crucial Ballistix (2x 1gb) @ 1066mhz. The computer runs fine with 1 stick of ram in. I have run mem test overnight for 8 hours on one stick and no freezing, and...

The 8600 is a nice card to have in your laptop :)

Everything except voltage settings show up in the jumperfree section, does anybody know why this is? =/
