Note that a synonym for inexpensive is "cheap ". A cheap wired keyboard is not likely to give you problems, but a cheap wireless has a good...
Since cases are designed to support 1000s of motherboards, it is common for there to be many more case mounting spot than there are motherboard...
Then I repeat what I said earlier - there must be an extra standoff or other foreign object under the board, or some other device installed in the...
Huh? Did I miss something? That suggests it works fine in this box. And by box, I assume you mean the computer case/enclosure. If the hardware...
Well, maybe you should consider a different motherboard, or a completely different set of RAM. I like and use Corsair a lot, but I also like and...
Yeah, that forced me to update my canned text on sizing and selecting PSUs. Another excellent article from the folks at Tom's HW.
Hmmm, don't know. Could be.
You want 1T. Command Rate is the rate in which the memory will be read. It is a function of the motherboard, not the RAM modules. 1T is every...
Well, not conclusively - but that's the same with all software based testers. What I have found is if Memtest86+ reports a problem, the RAM is...
I would rather have too much than not enough. I can usually weed out what is unessential. Okay, so two sticks at a time, and not in the...
Ha! If I can only claim the title under my user name for another 15 month so I understand where you are coming from. I am sure I have forgotten...
Yeah, I don't know what they mean by that either. I don't think you can disable dual channel with a setting in the BIOS Setup Menu. If you...
Actually, it works both ways. That is, SATA II drives are backward compatible with SATA I motherboards too. And if you decide to get SATA 6...
You normally don't unless they fry, pop, and stink up the room - that's why power problems are often difficult to troubleshoot. Here's my canned...
Wow, that's too bad. I would certainly want to ensure you had good power. I would swap in a known good supply and start with just one stick of RAM.
Thanks for the followup.
Actually, you don't enter the BIOS. You enter the BIOS Setup Menu and you do that AFTER the POST has completed.
How do you know? Did you try the new monitor on another computer?
I am glad you got your system going but just to clarify, note POST, which stands for Power On Self Test, occurs during the initial stages of the...
Should this problem arise again, you definitely need the +3.3V. Note that 3.3 / 2 = 1.65V - a very common voltage used by the motherboard to power...
