Serious COmp Problems

Re: Serious COmp Problems

Eddy,

Try to get this-

XP90 with a 90mm FAN
CPU- VENICE CORE- 3200+ or if you want FX55 performance -SAN DIEGO CORE- 3700+
DFI LANPARTY NF4 ULRTRA D
OCZ PLATINUM 1GB or 2GB

Is it possible for me only to get one piece of computer components. Cause by buying that, that's about 500-600 bucks, i'm willing to spend at MAXIMUM 300 buck, i don't really want to spend that much either, i would prefer to spend only 200 bucks or less. And i'll check out overclock.net, thanks anyways noni.

Oh, and how do you attach a fan onto the thermal right coolers, and would you reccomend a XP-90C (all copper, which is better) or XP-120. THe XP-90C can only mount a 92 mm fan, the XP120 can mount a 120mm fan, do you know which one is better, and just saying, thanks a lot, you've been really helpful. (not sarcastic)

Re: Serious COmp Problems

Hi
I had a similar problem with my system whilst I was trying to OC and the only way I could get things to work was to re-flash the BIOS, I don.t know what sort of BIOS recovery your motherboard has if any, mine was able to reset to its otiginal uncorrupted BIOS using the CD supplied with the Motherboard, check the manual and see if there is a Bios recovery facility and give it a go. After that I had to start XP in safe mode and do a system restore to a point prior to the problem and everything was fine.
Hope it works out for you

BUt the problem is that i can't get to the BIOS, and my system can't even post, so it won't read the CD.

I dont think your mobo is dying, thats for sure. If it died then you wont be able to turn the PC on (happend to me two times). My bro had a problem like this too, where the comp froze, and you couldnt access bios, but it was a ram problem, it turned out that the ram he had died. If the taking out the ram doesn't work, then either both of your ram sticks are dead, or your CPU is dead.

I only have 1 stick of ram. So i'm not sure, but is there a way to determine if it's CPU or ram?

EDIT: Oh and thanks for the post.

Re: Serious COmp Problems

Eddy the XP120 is BIG,

the XP90c aint that much different that the XP90.

If you have the money and your motherboard supports it go for the XP120.

Ok, if i still have money to spend by the end of this ordeal, i might be able to ge a XP-90C, or XP-120, but the problem is, looking at thermal right's website, it blocks dimm 1 for memory slots. And should i just mount my current 3 speed, Antec 120mm fan onto the XP-120, or should i get a better one like a panasonic panaflow that displaces like 105CFM of air?

Re: Serious COmp Problems

The XP-120 has been proven to be no better than the XP-90. And the XP-90c exceeds the reccomened weight by AMD.

Re: Serious COmp Problems

bump, buying the stuff tomorrow, or monday morning, gotta know what to buy, ram, mobo, or cpu, i'm hoping it's ram, cause 1 it's cheap, 2, it can increase performance of BF2 and the loading times as well as lag.

How far does it get into posting before it restarts?

No posting at all whatsoever. It just freezes on the screen that asks you to pres DEL to enter BIOS, and i can't enter bios. The only time i can enter BIOs is when i take the mobo battery out, if i don't press delete to ente BIOS, it says, press F1 to enter setup, press another keey which i can't remember to go on. If i press F1, it goes to the BIOs, if i press the other key, it just reboots the machine and freezes on the screen that asks you if you would like to enter BIOs.
