firewolfrl do you notice that the motherboard seems to get very hot and so do the components?

i just changed settings in the bios, changed quite a few to be honest and i can't remember what ones though! I just wizzed through it and it worked!

i managed to fix it but thanks for your help anyway!

no it doesnt need repaired as it loads fine with the disc in the dvd drive, so the bcd file is working.

i've just received and configured my new asus m2n-sli deluxe motherboard, all the required drivers are installed, i've checked via device manager and i've installed windows updates. The problem is though when i boot up it says disk boot failure please insert system disc and press enter. If i...

thanks, i'll probably get something like a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE 256MB DDR2 PCI-E DVI, only bought £30, does teh job for what i want.

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AiLifestyle Series Motherboard i've bought. I'll just borrow a graphics card from work till i get a new one. Can you recommend any cheap but good graphics cards?

this is probably a stupid question but i'm only young and still learning. Right my new motherboard is a sli motherboard, it doesn't have a vga connector on. Is there a different cable to buy or what? because it looks the same connection it's just pins instead of the blue bit with indentations...

no i never, why would a new chip of fixed the problem? Even if it did fix it i needed a better quality motherboard anyway, lets face it gigabyte are kinda cheap motherboards, not as good as asus.

well i updated my bios from f4 version to f9, it ran fine for about two days, now it's completly f*cked up lol, it works fine with my ide hard drive but the sata's sometimes don't boot or if they do then they freeze. I've tried to re-install vista but doesnt fix the issue. Therefore i decided it...

i never overclock processors, keep them as they are. I know if i overclocked mine it can go to 3.4ghz but 3ghz at the moment is doing me just fine. I've always had AMD, never had intel but AMD has never broke down on me.

smah, i just got mine off ebay for £115, don't know if you're american or not so not sure what that is in dollars but fairly cheap for a dual core processor.
