Hi, I just finished building a new PC for my brother and we gave it a test run. We installed UT3 (The Game)to give our new beast a spin. Everything ran fine for a few hours but suddenly the whole thing just shutdown. To save time I won't go into all of the specs details. I have unplugged everything inside the CPU tower and attached just the PSU to the MOBO but still it won't start when I press ...

This is where I really, really need an expert opinion. Awhile back the power went off in out house while my computer was running. Though I cannot be sure of this, It seems like, since that time, the overall operation of my system has not been the same. Vista takes longer to load, protocols and programs don't work as good as they did, and so on. My question is: Can a power failure do damage ...

Hmm, I can't work out if my dram timing is correct. On boot-up my host/dram shows as being 133/133, shouldn't it show 133/166 for pc2700?

A week ago, my video card started locking up when ever I played any game requiring 3d. It would run for a few seconds, then lock for many seconds. I tried everything from downgrading to dx8.1, downgrading drivers, all making sure the old drivers were totally gone. I tried everything short of an os reinstall. Now, I have a new Abit IC7, I've upgraded to XP... Same Problem. This time, when I ...

I purchased the intel mobo 845GBV a couple of month's ago. I have been searching for ages on how to overclock this motherboard. Everyone tells me that it is impossible to overclock, but it has been done by someone using a hardware mod. Does anyone know how to overclock this motherboard?!?!:cold::cold::cold::cold::cold:

My printer has just done the same. My computer has a message that says "Parts inside your printer are at the end of their service life. See your printer documentation." I am sticking it in the bin and getting a new one - the quickest and cheapest option!
