Your PC ATM

Hey mail man! test some OCs on that DDR2 board and let us know how it runs

Oh I will be. But I'm still doing stability testing right now. I will say this....my Vantage score went up almost 1k. :D
 
Mine was still in the plastic case. You know with the foam? Still I wanted to impale myself.

maybe you should of impaled yourself with the CPU pins that way You have more processing power.:laugh:
 
It's a WD SATA 160GB. It's old thou.(Has Molex power, and SATA power connectors.) Pretty sure it's only 5400RPM as well. It's not a big deal. It's just a place holder until I buy a pair of WD 500GB Blue drives.

I'm liking this card so far. I also realized I don't have any up to date benchmarking programs. *sigh*

But I'm going to play some AC2 here in a bit and see how that goes.


yup i liked my 5770 when i got it and finally managed to get it going as for the drive it's prolly SATA150 if it's still got an old molex power plug on it should still be 7200rpm though
 
I swear each time Someone has a NV card Previously Installed they have a ass pain trying to install a Non Nvidia video card, I suspect NV drivers are like rootkits now. Ensure if you have WCG or Folding at Home they are turned off as they are CPU driven programs mainly. Reinstall AC2. Check out the AC2 forums aswell, Free Games like that are a Hit and miss sometimes.


Ok

Grab Driver Sweeper and Driver Cleaner Pro
Grab Latest Motherboard driver
Grab Latest Direct X Redist
Unplug Internet cord
Use The Default Driver Removal Technique from NV drivers do not restart
delete the NV directory/folders
delete any NV related registry entries
restart machine
Follow Directions of DCP and DS
run Driver Cleaner Pro and then Driver Sweeper
after DCP and DS are ran and directions followed
Install Motherboard driver (if PCI Express has anything like a GART)
Install Graphics Drivers
Install Latest Direct X Redist
Actually, I have more issues going from ATI to nVidia than I do nVidia to ATI. In either case, it's actually pretty rare.

And driver sweeper is useless. Just uninstall, then delete the folder. The ATI and nV uninstallers aren't shitty like they used to be. They actually work the way they are supposed to most of the time. The only time they don't, it generally just a bug, and still easily solved in Device Manager.
 
Well crap. This will be the second time I've had to reinstall AC2. :shadedshu

I'm honestly rather uncomfortable with overclocking.

If you don't feel comfortable overclocking then don't do it. So sorry if I missed your post, what game are you having issues now? Is it only one game?
 
Assassins Creed 2. This is the second time I've had problems with it. The first time the launcher randomly crapped out on me and I had to reinstall it. :shadedshu

From what eidairaman1 has said, and what my brother told me, if I want to play it smoothly, I need to uninstall/reinstall the game. Which is a hassle. :ohwell:

Yeah I bet it is. But if it's happened before then I think it's not a driver issue. Did you change anything when it was acting up the first time?


Lovely rig bro :rockout:

You're ruining all the peer pressure fun man :mad:

:laugh: Sorry, but last thing we need is for him to have his PC go up in smoke :eek:
 
CP...help him oc it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now. Well others I haven't mentioned either. :toast:
 
I think my method of overclocking is very safe actually. Just keep bumping stuff up until your motherboard beeps like crazy, then turn it one notch down :D

I've trained my roommate to decipher and tell me what all the beeps mean. Now he thinks he's smart.

I wouldn't mind at all, all he has to do is ask for help :D I do have experience with his CPU actually, I had a X2 6000+ that did 3.5 GHz :), or 3.4 GHz? :wtf: Can't remember.
 
CP, you have a PM.
 
CP, you have a PM.

I do, or I will be having soon? You posted it before sending it didn't you? Remember, I'm the TPU ninja, i'm all over this biatch! :laugh:
 
:laugh:

Can't get squat past you.

I have a handbook for that (came with text books for comp tech in high school), but I definitely prefer just looking at the LED display instead. All I know is that a constant super-high-pitched scream (that I don't think is the MB) when powering up means I forgot to plug the power to my graphics card, and a relatively long series of really fast beeps means I pushed the RAM too high.

So my tip is, that if you value your hearing, don't forget to plug the power to your graphics card :laugh:

More on topic (omg, i can be on topic!?), this was my PC about 4 hours ago.

The GMod server I was in was buggy and crashing everybody's game. That particular time though, it crashed my whole PC and I couldn't get out of that screen (which was flickering as well) until I shut off and did a cold boot.
