Maybe you should try taking the motherboard back out of the case. In a few different sititutions i've found if you put one of the screws in the wrong spot it would cause the motherboard not to work right. Well, the things you screw into the case that you put screws in I mean. I forget what they call them. Like the screw thing could be touching two soder points causing the computer not to boot so you don't short it out.

I just ordered a new case off of newegg.com I hope its worth it!!

Well, 3 months ago I got a "service engine soon" light. So I took it to someone my grandfather knows to get it fix, well, all he did was reset my cars computer. He also said "The O2 censor is going bad, you should get it replaced" It ran fine for a month without the light coming on. Then it came on again. My mom, being stupid, took it to someone different. This guy told her I just needed new plugs and wires. That was $68 + $20 for labor. Anyway, a month went by and the light came on AGAIN. Took it to autozone and they said "o2 sensor is bad, and your Vavles are probably clogged with carbon" Finally she took it back to the first guy, and had the o2 sensor replaced. I also told her to have him clean out the valves for me... does she do it... NOOOO. 160 +20.... At this point everything was good for about 5 days. Light comes on. So i take it to autozone and he says "You're vavles are probably clogged with carbon, you should clean them." This makes me very angry, because I can't take my car anywhere to get worked on because of my work schedule. My girlfriends dad was suppose to help me clean out my vavle but... his friend was here. I even asked him "will you help me pull off and clean my vavle" he said yes, and his friend replied "well i'll go ahead and go so you can get it done." an hour later he is still here and now its time for me to go drive my car to work..... YAY...

That case brings tears to my eyes... ahh, the joy of custom setups... Its every gamers dream... *holds back a tear*

LOL, you may beat me if you get one before march, because thats when I should have my $$$$, if something happens and I don't get my $$$$ then it'll be at least august before I get that system

im going with the "A455-2102 Asus - K8V Deluxe - Socket 754 ATX Motherboard with Audio, AGP8X, S/PDIF, USB 2.0, FireWire, RAID, Serial ATA, WOR, WOL, Scalable HyperTransport, and Gigabit LAN Support " And i'll be using a radeon 9800xt of course

Well, after reading tons and tons of reviews... I've came to the conclusion that the AMD64 3400+ would be better to get than the AMD 64 FX51... The first reason is, that the 3400 comes really close in performance. Secondly the price is really steap, and why spend that much on a CPU when I could be buying other needed componets. And some of the benchmarks with the amd64 3400+ overclocked it preformed better than the AMD64fx.Which is shown here. Off I go to tigerdirect to see w00t ima gonna buhy.

I heard nforce3 sucked.

How do I covert a demo recorded on CS to a AVI or mpeg?

VPU recovery doesn't fix, BOOOYA... lol anyways... the screen will go black. Lowering it to 4x agp works though. makes it more stable, and the performace stays the same overall.

Alright... so I reformatted my hard drive so that I could get 8x agp since i was having a driver problem. So i noticed I kept getting VPU recovery messages during games... But when I lowered my APG settings to 4x everything became fine... Anyone know the cause of this? I read ATIs Call of duty bs about how 3.1 cat was suppose to fix it... but thats the driver I have. Oh, its call of duty that it crashes on btw. Anyone know what might be up?

Im not sure thats it... she never had a problem before... it just seems like she loses intrest when we lay down. I know she didn't have a "long" day, or a hard one because she doesn't do anything. She doesn't work, all she does is stay at home and talk on the internet with her friends, or plays with her dog. She generally comes home from school, goes to bed for 5 hours, so she can spend time with me.. then goes to bed 3 hours after she wakes up and sleeps untill at least an hour after I wake up.

I worked 4pm-11pm tonight... I was rushing pretty fast so that I could get home to my girlfriend... well... ya... her and I havn't been intimate for at least 2 weeks now... which is pretty normal for her and I. I've noticed though that when she thinks that I want to... well ya... she forces her self to go to sleep... tonight was one of those nights, and well she was pretty wrong. All I really wanted was to just touch her and stare at her... but 15 minutes into this, I was rubbing her stomach, and staring into her eyes, and she falls asleep... I sat on the edge of the bed crying, and got up and got 6 shots of Jim, and came down to my computer hopefully to relieve some tension. hmph. Doesn't seem to be working... On a side note... I've talked to her about this, and she TOTALLY denys it... yet she sleeps 12 hours a day... odd is it not?

Masonsblue is in too. I'll probably stop over to his house in a few weeks to pay through paypal. WOO

Put me on that attendee list... that is if its not full... :-D I really would love to meet you guys

Ya... but its 800 bucks for just the cpu....

Now... Im kinda confused on what to buy exactly... I want to get the machine that will run my PC games the best... but im quite confused... should I get the AMD 64 3400+.... or should I get the p4 3.2 ee

AMDs don't overheat, but maybe you had inadequate fans, thermal paste, or heatsink/fan. The Athlon64 uses "Cool and Quiet" technology which basically runs the CPU at lower clock speeds for less critical situations and full clock for gaming, etc., although this technology has yet to be fully implemented in the chipset designs. It will still be important to have a correctly installed HSF, or probably an aftermarket HSF if you want to overclock. I had an AMD xp 1800+ and it always overheated. My girlriends dad ran the same system... and it always overheated... it always stayed in the 140 F range... so and no, i didn't mean "runs hot" they always overheated, and shut down... They wouldn't run right unless you had an insane amout of fans blowing air in and out... I have 4 in the front, and 2 in the back... hell, I even had a Cooper CPU cooler at the time....

Benchmarks

Formated, and it runs much better now. hope it stays like this

Did you have this same problem?

Alright... so im talking to my friend who is getting 16k benchmarks on 3dmark01, and he's like "Do you have the latest AGP drivers for your mobo?" I thought to myself "I can't remember if I installed them or not." When I installed these drivers, I started having problems with my computer... they were strange and unvideo related... Which I found odd... well anyway... Programs wouldn't open, id get insufficent memory, or auth. errors. When I uninstalled the drivers everything returned to normal... anyone have a clue as to what the hell-o is going on?!

Well, imagine not having an internet forum to make fun of me in.

Last night after work, my friend Duff was sitting out in the parking lot with two girls... who will remain nameless... Anyway... the two girls were attractive, when I saw his car, i got in the back seat to hang out for a sec before I went home for the night. The girl sitting up front said... "So buddy, when we going to get it on" My reaction was that she was kidding. Knowing that im taken, she countiued her onslaught of comments to get me to come back to her appartment... She even rubbed my leg, and showed me some of her better looking clothing, if you know what I mean... So... I took it upon myself to say "this is wrong, I have a girlfriend" and got out of the car... and it changed my life forever...

How can a thread be "counterfeit"... Honestly... it would be "counterfeit" if I were to make it in photoshop and post the image... but... the thread is REAL man!! its for REAL! And the G-man is watching!!!!
