There has been a lot of noise about overclocking voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. I am still not sure how that practically happens. Take processors for example. You run your Celeron566 at 850MHz and one sunny day it stops. You take it to you dealer and say: “Mr. Dealer my processor is no...

Hi everybody, This is not actually question about my motherboard, it's about my cpu, but everything starts with motherboard right? :) So, lately my cpu is overheating absurdly. When ever I turn on my computer, when it logs on and when I open, lets say, two applications at the same time...

So my Windows 7 installation keeps hanging on "Setup is starting..." forever, and a solution posted was to disable the floppy disk drive port since it's not being used. I'm kinda a newbie as this is my first PC Build, so thanks for the help.

I just built a new PC and i installed Asus PC Probe and it says that my motherboard is at 40C and it has a warning next to it. Is this too hot and is this why it has a warning?

Can anyone confirm they're running 8G sticks of RAM on the GA-970a-DS3? Or can anyone point me in the direction of a Memory Support list for a ga-970a-ds3 motherboard that isn't direct from the Gigabyte website? The list from the website only lists up to 4G modules but the site clearly states...

I built my computer a a few weeks ago. First Mobo broke within the first 3 weeks. Bought a new motherboard.... Worked fine for ten minutes, went to update BIOS and 80% way in, windows comes to a slow halt and crashes. Rebooted it even with the Asus disk and it longer does anything. Lights and...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some good memory to go with my 3570k. I am looking for 16GB (2x8) that way I can add another 16GB (same brand and model) down the road. Is it better to go with a 4x4, or since I plan on adding the same brand and model does it matter? So far I am looking at...

Well I'm about to surf over to newegg and order the parts for my first home built system. I've been reading all these boards and all the articles on this and other sites for a while, but I haven't managed to find a good guide that will walk a newbie like me through the actual build process...

I was just wondering if i should save a few dollars and buy a a64 3000+ venice core instead of paying $200 more and get something that i dont need. I really dont play many games, but i am selling my pentium 4 630 series cpu/mobo and stuff and going back to amd. What you think?

Hello, I've got a quad 9550. I have 4 gb ram. Yet under intial size (MB) it says: "2046" I am using cs4 & need as much RAM as possible: 1) How do I get xp to recognize 4gb (4092 MB)? 2) How do I find out what type of ram is on my PC? Device Manager doesn't give me this info. 3) Would 64 bit...

It seems like a great chipset from all I've read. A few people on this board, however, have shown great disdain towards the KT333 chipset and VIA in general. This is all that's holding me back from purchasing an Asus A7V333 motherboard, but try as I might, I can't seem to find any bad reviews or...

Is there a noteable performance difference in cache size on different cpu chips? in example the 2500 with 640k total and the 2400 with 384k total? Is this even important? Thanks

Hi guys, I recently bought a fairly new laptop (Asus K43S) overseas (6 months old). Love it, but then something happened just randomly. One day came back from school, then tried to boot up my laptop, expecting to see my laptop charged as always 24/7 (habit). Then it suddenly stopped charging...

I've acquired the following CPU for not a lot of money and after some hardware tweaking and a little help from the Forum I've got the temperature down from a "Dangerous" 81°C to a much healthier 56°C on full load. The only thing is, what CPU is it? It was sold to me as a Q9100 yet this is an...

Does anyone have a PDF of whatever support guide Gateway gives their techs for the LT4004u netbook? I'm about to do a memory upgrade on mine, but this thing doesn't have the typical / obvious hatch they hide memory under in most laptops / netbooks, and I have no intention of tearing this thing...
