    Jostle restarting

    It seems to be OK outside the case, and I've reseated the proc twice now. The pins seem to be ok, visibly anyway, but i am concerned my RAM resets to 1333 speed and not 1600 when its jostle restarted, but that may just be a weird mobo thing. What worries me is that I can't see how a bent...

    Jostle restarting

    I don't know what would cause a cop to restart when plugging in a pair of headphones. It seems like anytime I unplug or plug in something it restarts. I thought maybe it wasn't getting enough power but I put in a 750 watt and I'm getting the same deal. How would a sound card port cause a...

    Jostle restarting

    I have a Lian Li PC60 case and a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 LGA 1156 mobo Will probably take it out and see if it boots outside the case, I just haven't had time lately, and when i messed with it before it wouldn't boot period. Can't really say why it went back to booting, I took everything...

    Jostle restarting

    Just built a new system, core i7 860, GTX 460 form gigabyte, 4GB ram, 750W corsair PSU, good stuff, but i noticed when i plug my headphones into my comp it causes it to restart. Also noticed that when i move or bump the case it also restarts. Thought maybe I had metal-on-metal contact on...

    Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB, this one any good?

    Was exactly the same, temps maybe went up 1-2C idle and max 5 under load. Can't be heard at all, my comp is a foot and a half from my head and I can't hear a thing. Voltage never changed, and the air coming out of the side vent is luke-warm, maybe even cold, so I am more than pleased. Puts...

    2GB vs 3GB

    That was the ORIGINAL plan, but I opted to get 2x512 instead of 1x1GB to utilize the gig in dual channel as mentioned above. So my current config is 2x1GB in dual channel and 2x512MB in dual channel. AND: I fixed my problem. I changed the voltage slightly and BOOM, back to 5.5 where I...

    2GB vs 3GB

    Well, after I installed the extra gig Vista dropped my performance index from 5.5 to 4.8. Don't know what thats about... Noticed a much snappier exit from resource intensive games, and it's much better at multitasking with video stuff.

    2GB vs 3GB

    Ok. My rig is pretty standard, C2D @2.8, 2 GB of corsair 6400, 640MB evga 8800GTS I went with another gig as 2 512 sticks, 6400, to stick in dual channel. So, I'll have 2 1GB sticks in one channel and 2 512s in the other. The ram is identical to the stuff I all ready have in there...

    2GB vs 3GB

    I did a quick search for a topic like this and didn't see one, so if it all ready exists, I'm sorry. So I'm running Vista with 2 GB of ram in dual channel, but some of the newer games hang a bit after you exit out, so I'm considering getting one more gig. Would there be a noticeable speed...

    Vista Boot Hang

    I've had my OEM version of Ultimate running perfectly for months now without a hitch. I dual-boot between V and XP media center pretty regularly, but now I am unable to boot into my V partition. It goes up to the boot screen, I see the boot screen finish, then it just hangs and my monitor...
