yea, unfortunatly my esp wasn't working right and i didn't know the 1.6a would be that dominant (it didn't even exsist yet) when i got the 2.0a. I'm not all that worried about overclocking too much. I was just curious mostly. My friend wants me to tell him what to buy and i'm recommending a 1.6a wit...

Actually, i have both kicked it and smacked it, but neither has worked for very long. I have not tried new ram, but if ram is the problem, then wouldn't it lock up in the games too? I will try new ide cables when i get home. I guess i can also try to turn off the dma modes on the hdd's. Maybe i shou...

PC locks up

yo. I just got a new mobo (asus P4T-E) and cpu and ram and now my machine randomly locks up in windows. But it's much more funky than that. I have Win2000, and at first I thought it had gotten messed up cause i was getting inaccessable_boot_device errors. I fixed that and it was fine for a weekend. ...

I also had already tried removing the CMOS battery and waited a minute or two, and that still didn't work. I got really really mad because the reason I got the ne...

PC wont' turn on

I have a brnad new Asus P4T-E and a new P4 2A GHz and new RAM and when I turn on the PC nothing happens. The first time I turned it on it worked fine. It went straight into the BIOS and I set everything in there. Then, when I rebooted, nothing happened. The power light comes on and I can turn num-lo...
