Wow, thanks for the awesome information. I went to the website and I see that there is a new bios file that was released at the end of last year. Does the BIOS act like any other driver? Just download and install, then I should have no problem with the new CPU?

wow, thanks for the list! I will contact them to be sure.

I am thinking about upgrading my CPU, but I have a question about compatability. I currently have this Mother Board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813186037 It says the CPU type is Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64 but I want to upgrade to a duel core processor. Here is what I...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I am very hesitant to open it since it is a laptop. I have built desktops, but I have never even attempted to work on laptop hardware (asside from adding memory). We have a fan blowing on it now hoping that it will help dry. My only concern is that it was...

So, my dumb ass roommate decided to spill water on my laptop and now it won't turn on. The screen was up and it fell right on the keys. I lifted some of the keys off and it doesn't appear to be wet. When I plug the power adapter to the laptop, the little green light starts blinking (normally...

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info.

Ya, it was a driver problem. I guess the drivers that came with the card were for a 32 bit system, so I had to go online to get the correct ones. Thanks for the suggestions. On the back of the PSU, there is a little red switch. What is that for? It is currently set on 150v, but the other...

I just got my new video card and I don't know if I should have gotten the power supply or not. What are the symtoms of a non sufficient power supply? When I have a window open (such as windows file explorere) and I try to drag it around, it is sluggish. Minimizing and maximizing looks fine...

I am trying to run an exe file and I am getting the error Windows cannot access the specified device. It is a small exe file that is needed for a game that I downloaded from the retailer. I have contacted them, but they are not responding to my request. I tried redownloading the file several...

What is an appropriate price range that I should expect for a power supply?

Yes, I currently have a 256mb ATI X800 XL that is also a PCI Express x16. Thank you for your assistance. I will look for a converter because I have several of the 4 pin connectors that are free. I found this connector on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812201004...

I am thinking about upgrading my video card and I have picked this one out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814195002 The problem that I am facing is with the power supply. I have the required Watts, but it says that it has to directly connect to the power supply. I...

wow, thanks for the information. I am a hardcore gamer, but I don't do a lot of stuff in the background. I will definatly look around for a better upgrade.

OK, I currently have this CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103533 I was thinking about upgrading to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16819103547 I am having a hard time finding answers to some of my questions. What exactly are the...

Awesome, thanks for your reply.

I have a 64 bit system and I can't seem to find an antivirus program that is compatable. Norton does not support it and I couldn't find any that did from my usial sites. There are tons of people with 64 bit systems now, there has to be at least one antivirus program. Can anyone help?

Thanks for your advice, I will try all that before sending the motherboard back to newegg.

note: I also tried unplugging everying except the motherboard and CPU to see if I got any response, and I didn't.

I just built a brand new computer and when everything is hooked up and plugged it, I get no sign of life. It is as if it isn't even plugged in. No fans moving, no lights on, nothing. I have never got it to turn on, so it was never working right. Now, I got it from Newegg and I read all the...

Thanks for your help. I am getting an Athalon 64, not a pentium and I prefer ATI over Nvidia. The vid card that I am getting has a fan but the CPU doesn't, so I will make sure I get a couple to put in my sytem. The case that I am getting has a tempature read out on it, what is the target temp?
