    New build for moderate and multiple different uses, need advise please

    There is so many different types of ram out their. I'm sure several that are not listed are still supported or will still work. There may even be kickbacks for motherboard companies to list other ram companies.

    New build for moderate and multiple different uses, need advise please

    I did adjust ram settings in bios as well as many other options I tried, so many different things I tried that it would take forever to type all of it up in this reply. The bios has an auto feature that is suppose to automatically recognize the ram. It did recognize it, but only in the wrong...

    So here is the problem. Either the motherboard is bad or the processor. I'm not going to throw money at it to figure out which it is. When I placed the 2 sticks of ram in the correct place (both in the 2 grey slots as the instructions in the manual say to do), the computer would not boot. I...

    New build for moderate and multiple different uses, need advise please

    We did go back and reinstall the cpu. It was in correct. Method was a drop of thermal paste which did cover the cpu properly or so appeared to. Do your really think the cpu could overheat that fast? So fast that I can't get a screen or bios? Another update. I did take the cpu back out, clean...

    I might just dump the motherboard and go for another brand like MSI or Asus. The socket has to be a 1150. I also need the option for possible 2 video cards since I runs 3 different monitors in different locations in my business/ home. (I will show customers videos in a different rooms). Needs to...

    I should have listen to you. I and two others (they have built many systems) put the system together last night. It doesn't work. No bios and no screen. The system turns on for about 30 seconds then turns off. Around 10 seconds later it turns back on again for about 30 seconds then turns off. On...

    Good to know. Norton didn't cause any issues while downloading. Maybe I can try it again later.

    New build for moderate and multiple different uses, need advise please

    Windows media doesn't play blu-ray. Is VLC player safe to download? I have always been weary of free software. Check reviews http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html First reviewer states it has spyware, but it was his antivirus software telling him so, hmmmmm. I...

    Throwing this out there to anyone. I have spent some time researching blu-ray software. What a hellish headache. Mainly, I just want to play blu-rays, dvd, etc on my cpu. Simple task like pause, rewind, fast forward, etc are what I need. You know, basically like watching Youtube online, Netflix...

    New build for moderate and multiple different uses, need advise please

    Should I use for a second drive an SSD to keep the fast boot times? I have laying around a 1tb WD black drive, so I thought I might use it for music, videos, pictures, doc etc, but question is will it slow down my system, should I use for storage an SSD instead? My current cpu has a 2tb WD black...
