    i talked to some guys at pc shop before and they get alot of dead and bad boards from people who bought baords from newegg. i just got a dfi ultra infinity there and it had finger prints on the middle of the board and a film of something with a finger print over the battery. it was a buggy...

    Crashing during gameplay

    i still think its your psu, you will draw more amps with more memory useage and psu takes a big hit on post that 512 might be the last straw. ill bet if you replace psu with somthing around 24amps or more you'll be able to put that mem stick back in and run the crap out of it. i'd suggest an...

    2 motherboards dead

    i dusted off the volt meter and powered up the psu on the old no ancient amd k6 233mhz and ran a linux boot cd while testing. this is what i came up with. 12v= 12.6 peak (only saw it once for split sec. may have moved meter pin) averaged 12.50v low 12.35 same off the cpu as the 4pin molex...

    2 motherboards dead

    you put in those little screws that separate the backplate from the motherboard ? if i didn't i think the problem would be more like my house burned down. :) yeah everything is in place i ran a strait edge along the backplate and i could see gaps between the plate and edge it is a little...

    2 motherboards dead

    what this boils down to is has anyone heard of a video card or cpu killing a motherboard? i think i'll give everything one last shot and just get a new case for my replacement board. this was supposed to be an upgrade not a new pc.

    Which CPU to Choose

    i'd get a dual core 3800+. i saw a review where a guy OC'd it and almost matched the dual 4400+ speeds. you can render video, while burning dvd, and surfing the web. i don't understand the single core desire other than a little boost in speed for the same price or more. you could transcode...

    3DMark06 blurry on X1800XT?

    i'd try to uninstal the driver first and reinstal the most updated. and maybe don't start the ati tool at startup. i've heard of this problem with large lcd's where you just have to adjust the sharpness setting in the driver program. i haven't used 3dmark 06 yet so that maybe it.

    850xt retail for $229 to good to be true?

    i thought the 850xt could stomp a 6800 gs and clips at the heels of a 7800. i'm not loyal to either brand just the price point vs preformance. i mostly do video work not much gaming anymore. i've heard of interlacing issues with ati but i have a 9600 and no issues unless i use windows media...
