Ok, new build PC with a clean install of Win XP. At the moment I'm just setting it up for use with the stuff I use. Nothing much installed at all at this point, MB and graphics drivers, along with AV software. While i'm setting up windows the way I use it, getting rid of all the useless (to...

Oh dear, after reading from that link, it does appear that ZA is not happy at home in this new build :(. Odd though, as its working very happy on my other systems :confused: Yes, Google is amazing. Would have gotten there eventually, just much slower than many of you :p :D Ah well...

Sorry, forgot to mention I had since switched off the reboot on fail so I can read the BSOD :D I'm sure you know most of whats on that BSOD, but the code is as follows: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. This is located near the top of said screen. Further down is this code: ***STOP 0x000000D1...

Ok, just built a system with these components. Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 Corsair HX Series 520W Modular PSU Seagate ST3500320AS 500GB Hard Drive SATA II Point Of View 8800GT PCI-E Graphics Card Corsair 2GB Kit 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory XP installed, MB and Graphics...

Would there be much difference performance wise, between the 4GB 2x2 kit and the 4 1GB sticks? I was really just looking at the timings of the sets and going on the assumption that the 1GB sticks would be more beneficial to system performance? 4GB is plenty enough these days or is my lack of...

Been awhile (3+ years :eek: ) since I built my last PC. Only ever built a handful, so no expert here :D. Time to build a newer, more up to date system with a bit of oomph!. Now, looking at the parts these days, all seems a bit daunting and scary :D. I'm trying to get a good solid board, that...

Ok, just purchased one of these to replace an MSI FX 5700. (Yeah yeah, not top of the range stuff, but good enough for what i need it for. :P) So, I get this yesterday and open it up, then pop it in the PC. In the install guide, it says to install the standard VGA driver before installing the...

Have an AMD 64 3200+ retail cpu and heatsink/fan for about a year or so now. Last few days, the fan is making a horrid buzzing/whining noise. Sure you guys know what im talking about. Question I have is, can I just replace the fan and leave the heatsink in place? Or do I gotta buy a whole new...

I actually did leave the football viewing at half time. Went off to do some of the housework :eek: Incredibly, the missus continued to watch the game, rooting for Milan to win. Only to put one over on a mutual friend of ours thats Liverpool mad. She knew that a Liverpool win would only bring...

Fantastic night of football that, really enjoyed it. Well done Liverpool on an incredible comeback for the win. Only problem I have now is a sore throat from an inability to stop shouting at the TV. :D

Would say performance is the main thing for me, yet I voted on cost. Mainly because if I cant afford it, I cant buy it. Always comes down to the price for me when I build a system. Space and noise are not that big a deal really. Two years of having six case fans, CPU fan and GPU fan running 24/7...
