Sounds like a dead motherboard to me. LGA775? A cheap motherboard will run you about $50. But this board is a BTX board and I don't know anything about your case and what boards it can fit other than BTX.

System specs?

I'm sorry but I really can't understand you too well. It looks like you put your paragraph through a translator program a few times so I will summarize what I think you said. Let me know if I got something wrong. So from what I gather, you 1. Created two partitions 2. installed xp on C. your computer rebooted several times before the installation completed. 3. you right clicked on the second ...

Ok, so I just figured I would disable SpeedStep, system would boot into OS, then after you attempt starting something...bam...reboots. Event log is showing issue with video card driver: Fault bucket X64_0x116_TdrBCR:2_Tdr:2_IMAGE_nvlddmkm.sys, type 0 Now could this have been caused by bad PCIe interface on mb? I only changed the SpeedStep setting, and I get a video failure which lead to ...

do a bios update and buy a cheap athlon II x2 240 or x4 620

Have you upgraded the RAM yet? It comes with just 256 MB but you need more than for gaming. It can handle up to 4 GB's. if you haven't upgraded the RAM yet, I'll give you my recommendations for which RAM to get. Next, your PSU is just 250 watts with no PCI-e power connector. That will not support any modern cards but the absolute lowest end (which won't be much better than the integrated ...

I love hyperthreading, if it was me id chace it, and no it wont show up on benchmarks (most of the time) but general usage is where it shows up - only owners of any HT chip could tell you etc.

nope, either use the preapplied tp or clean the tp off the heatsink and put a pea sized amt on the cpu and let the heatsink spread it out unless its hdt, then look it up

I have a mobo that also sets the cpu voltages automatically as well. Do you have the "over voltage" option on the mobo? Manually setting the over-voltage instead of letting it be on auto should help you reduce the voltage. AMD cpus do run on higher voltages than Intel's cpu...but 1.632v is way too much. I think the stock voltage for Brisbanes go up to 1.4v...

System specs? especially, motherboard (we need to know the socket)? You can find this using a program called CPU-z. Google it. run the program. under the cpu tab tell us what is says beside "name", "code name" and "package". Under the mainboard tab tell us "manufacturer" and "model". It would be great if you could tell us other system specs or the manufacturer of the computer and model (I'm ...

Is this happen when playing L4D only? what about the other games? Have u installed the latest driver for your gpu?

The best you can do is look at some used CPUs. The athlon 2500+ is a barton core with 333mhz systembus (fsb) so any socket A/462 CPU with that fsb should be compatible with your motherboard.

What are you going to be using the computer for? For basic tasks a quick dual core is sufficient. Now is this a Phenom X4 or a Phenom II X4? The Athlon II and Phenom II perform nearly identically clock for clock, the lack of an L3 cache on the Athlon does not hinder it too much, but if its a first generation phenom the Athlon II will likely beat it in most tasks, especially if it has a higher ...

depends on your budget.

As a personal preference, I prefer the Corsair. I have 4GB (4x1GB) of the XMS (same as dominator minus the fan) thats 5-5-5-18 1066MHz and I was able to clock it to 4-4-4-12 1333MHz. Corsair just tends to be a tad better.

You write fine If you are planning to Overclock a lot like 300 mhz and up then go ahead with the Aftermarket cooler, and no Overclocking isn't a dumb idea it is a way to get more for less.

The Westmere 12-Core will be on the LGA 1366 socket. However if you don't plan on upgrading for 4 years, I would purchase the i5 750 now and get a new system in four years... IMO There will be new technology with MOBO's by that time which will warrant a new MOBO versus a BIOS update to run the 12-core CPU.

The i7 920 is the best processor for the money for your type of applications!! I would recommend buying 12GB of RAM to make your process run better! The combination of the i7 920 and 12GB of OCZ Platinum 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 1600 RAM wil suite you needs very good! :D
