    8800gts was working fine, now bsod every 5 minutes

    Jesus christ, I just got done configuring the new Windows installation. This is the third time I've setup Windows on this box and ran into problems. First I tried to use a backup, but had the wrong HAL. Then my soundcard wouldn't work for no reason. Now I get everything working except the video...

    8800gts was working fine, now bsod every 5 minutes

    Sorry this ended up being so long. If you want a quick digest, here you go: My system was rock solid stable until I started overclocking the video card a little. It seems that ever since I installed ATI Tool that I get visual artifacts and crashes after about 5 minutes. I've tried it all, but it...

    Windows only recognizes one core!

    I gave up trying to put all my programs on a different partition, since most don't work after blowing away the OS anyway. They always have some files in windows/system32, registry entries, etc. I just create a backup of when the computer is working like I want and I restore if something went...

    Windows only recognizes one core!

    So I built a new C2D E6600 system (details and pics here). I install Windows XP Pro by restoring a Ghost backup like I've been doing for three years now. I have everything configured exactly like I want it. Windows starts up, I get all the new drivers, everything is great. Then I notice there is...

    I'm still in the installing phase after a setback that required reinstalling everything from zero. However I have the ram running 1:1 with the CPU with a 1066mhz FSB no problems. CPU temp is at 39C. Power on/off problem seems to have gone away. Damn northbridge fan is pretty loud. Might be...

    new system pics!

    I haven't got to power on the system yet! I had to stop late last night once I got everything installed. If I had tried to power it on I would've been working on it through the morning! From what I've read, the mobo can handle high FSB speeds, 500+ mhz. They were saying that you get a bigger...

    What christmas gift should I go for?

    Case isn't an exciting gift to receive. The other gifts you enjoy continuously. Video card is the biggest performance increase out of the three. Monitor is important, especially if it is hurting your eyes. I would buy the most expensive thing that maxes your parent's budget. 8800GTS is...
