Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

2. What's your budget? under $1000. Trying to build something similar to the $950 X51 (8gb ram, GTX...
I have an Inspirion E1705, and it had a Geforce Go 7900 GS in it. Well, the card overheated (I believe) and it no longer wrote to the video memory correctly, and everything was showing up weird on the monitor. So I replaced the card, and when I installed the new one, my laptop wouldn't even turn...
I bought a Airlink wireless card, and i tried to put it in, and it's not the right size... a similar card is said to be compatible on the dell website...
Okay, so I installed XP (finally worked after a couple of tries (errors/random power offs)) and then I installed a couple of the drivers off the gigabyte CD. It shut off on me, and now it keeps shutting down when I try to boot it up. It gets different lengths in the booting up process, but I...
I tried reseatting the ram last night. I didn't have a jumper, so I used a screwdriver to reset it, and now it's working.
Thank you for your time and help; I really appreciate it.
