I have been trying to troubleshoot a power problem on my desktop for the last several weeks. Essentially, I'm losing power at random times. Sometimes it'll run for 10 minutes, other times it won't run 10 seconds. Occasionally, the power will become intermittent, kind of like a car trying to...

I was having trouble with my bios where I woudl have to try and boot 2 times to load. The screen would be blank, no signal, and the computer would only run its fans and lights as fast as it could. I tried updating my bios to the latest version, and clearing the CMOS. This worked to let me...

Greetings. My question is not specificly related to motherboards or memory, as it encompasses hardware in general. Lately I have decided to upgrade to another motherboard so as to full support for my latest memory purchase. Before I go ahead and purchase a new piece of hardware, I always do...

I just got done building my first system. It starts up fine and then it says Hard Disk not found. When I push Del to enter Setup it does not respond and goes to a Make Disk for Dos screen. It has 3 options but I can't select any of them. So I'm stuck on being able to do anything with it. Any...

I can't SLI 8 GB's of Dominator memory at 1066 so should I just run 4GB's at 1066 SLI Ready or run all 8GB's at 800 Ghz?

I'm looking to build a monster computer in the next few weeks. I have put together a bunch of 1156/1366 based systems over the past 6 months so I do have experience and enjoy tweaking. I work from my computer about 16 hours a day so the $$$ isn't a huge concern. Some photoshop but mainly lots...

This is my system: Dell XPS 400 System Clock 200 mhz FSB 800 mhz Pentium D 820 (2.8 ghz) Dell 0yc523 mainboard (current bios revision) If I understand it correctly, my actual memory frequency will be determined by the FSB/DRAM ratio multiplied by the system clock, x4 (DDR2 RAM). First of all...

My machine was working fine until I adjusted a few settings in the BIOS. I then went to fix them by setting it to optimized as well as safety settings, I might have even tried reboot from last successful time. Well for some reason now when it boots up my USB ports are not working. This is a pain...

Hey, I got a 9600gt about a month ago and I think it shorted out my pci-express slot. I'm able to get integrated graphics to work, but I can't get any signal from my video card to the monitor. When I turn it on the monitor goes directly to sleep mode. I'm pretty sure it's not the video card...

Everytime I boot up my PC it always gets stuck at the BIOS screen. Delete key doesn't work. Weird thing is that it will continue to boot up after shaking or tapping the case/tower. Is this a case of a bad MOBO battery? Yes, I'm a noob.

My current computer is running 32 bit XP with 2gb of ddr2 667 RAM and a 1gb 4870. I was reading an article about how the 3.4/5gb of usable ram is calculated. It said that there is roughly 4gb but the rest is taken up by things like the gpu. This article also said that the usable ram is...

I've been poking around the forums, dropping questions here and there and found some information basically stating that people did testing and didn't find DDR3 to be all that much faster than DDR2 RAM. So, I'm about to spec out a new computer build that will need to last me a while. My current...
