Hm. I suppose that makes sense, the whole people losing interest thing. Then yeah, it would just be another section within TF? I mean, sure, there may be n00bs and flamers and what not, but you can always filter the flamers out. And as for n00bs posting bulls**t, I suppose you can't stop that at...

And might I say I love my eVGA 6800GT :love:

I doubt this is of any help for if it happens again, but I have a friend who had his PSU fall on top of his video card. He proceeded to turn the computer on and he got *tada* exactly what you did. Lines, various colors, etc. No picture, just a bunch of garbage. He tried an old card and it booted...

Although my comment may be unwanted/un-needed: I'm confused. Is Head defending so much because he did almost the same thing or is he defending because he doesn't get why the other guy is a dumbass? I mean, I agree. The friend could have done ALOT better with an AMD or Intel. Dual crappy...

Did you make sure you are using the correct RAM (ie 2100, 2700, 3200, etc) and make sure the PSU was enough to power the board and all of the components. I've had my board (near) fry from having the wrong RAM in. Although, it may not be fried. Without the ATX power in, does it POST at all? May...

I am sure this has been asked before or has been slightly touched on but I wanted to ask this simple (albeit n00b-like question) What would be the best position for a fan on the side? I am modding my case (for the first time) in the next day or so and I wanted to know if it is best to have the...

Saw a Dateline special about this last night. Supposedly Rockstar had put the 'mini-game' in and took it out at the last second so stop something such as this video game flame that has risen (although Rockstar is always the center of controversy, I think they realized the American public already...

:p Now is that the packages or the cups? Because packages can save you more and you don't even need to cook them. :D 1500 every 5 months would actually be pretty wise. Enough to keep you updated on new technology and I suppose it's not TOO much to throw down for something you love.

WOO! My package came today and everything is installed. I am running Prime95 right now it's gone through 10 tests so far (each having 5 tests in the Lucas-Lehmer blah blah, you know) so thats 2 successful rounds. Now here is beauty: Idle: lowest it went was 28C Max: Not sure if this is THE...

Not sure if this belongs here but it's along the lines of computer building so I figure, why not. Was wondering how many people here are on budgets. I imagine most. I myself am a college student working summers in an office to support my habit (computer obsession if you will) and while at...

Nope. I believe it's all aluminum. Then again I could be wrong. The fans I have going in my room all the time are kind of loud so it kind of drowns the sound out. Sound isn't an issue :D :cool:

Would like some opinions. Here is the heatsink I just bought. I want to know what you all think. I will be pairing it up with some AS5 (FYI) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835150033 Let me know what you think. I'm hoping I didn't waste my money :eek: From what I...

Depends on what kind of laptop you have drindahowse. I know with makers such as Dell and Gateway they manufacture their own type of RAM (usually the key is moved over so you have to go through them directly, or find a site that deals with them) If your laptop isn't made by anal companies then...

Okay. Ran the test for about 2 hours, passed all tests. Max temp went up to around *yikes* 81C. However, it reported no errors. With the internet running (and background processes of course) I am getting an average of 54C. I know now that I DO need some more cooling. It was almost definite at...

OKay, I think I may have found the root of the problem: Heat I was stress testing my comp using Prime95 (thank you jolancer) and set the time for about an hour, just for a small test. Went downstairs for a bit and left the comp to do it's thing. Before I left, I noticed the temps going above...
