fellaz im experiencing ANOTHER pc problem


This morning i decided to turn on the PC. At first it POSTED and said my keyboard wasnt present when it was. So i disconnected it and reconnected it and that solved that problem. Afterwards it goes to the screen where it says start windows normally, safe mod bla bla bla aftr i select start windows normally it flashes a screen that tries to boot Windows XP :/ which is strange cuz i have W7 installed. Booting XP fails and the pc restarts itself repeating this process over and over.... sometimes the pc speaker makes 2 beeps sometimes 3. Sometimes my monitor wont even come on. What can be causing all of this?

My Xbox360 i had using RROD

good luck gracen. try recovering using a w7 cd

well im all back up and running now. for some freaskishly strange reason it was running a RAID setup :O so i had to undo that....... plus one of the clips that was holding in the RAM broke out so now im left with 1GB of RAM in the system until i can find a way to fix this

[bushwakka]

The clips for the ram slots on mainboards can come out so maybe the clip can go back in unless a piece of it is broken off.

If u have a spare slot on the board you can use a clip from there or get one from an old board to use in place.

I managed to get it back in place and its locking into place like normal. Thanks yall

wey you read dat bai?

dan the last thing I see was tech gurus saying April-May for the earliest and that the Z68 might be the sooner alternative

the other thing I now reading on AnandTech is that the QuickSync on the Sandy Bridge is considerably faster and better quality transcoding than even a nVidia CUDA GPU

Saw it on my feeds but didnt read into it.

and GAH! @ my card's quality wise aspect on that review

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ sweet

after intel ships to ASUS it will take some weeks for them to refit their mainboards before we see the final product on the shelves though

[M_2NR]

yeh >_> but im glad it was sorted out this fast. i say wait tho... and wait for some reviews too

[Chiney]

sigh

Poor dude

Anybody know where i can get a cheap PSU with 2 PCI-e connectors its for a back-up rig a lil 550w even 600 will do the trick usually i like my items new but i cant justify spending new price for a system that not going to be used as much

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

990x launching today, anybody have 6k to blow?

forgetting the tests, how many real world apps can make use of 6 cores?

the i7 2600k proved to be up to par with the 980x even though the i7 2600k is ~US$300 and the 980x was ~US$999

Alot of us convert movies with our PC to put on our ipod, phone etc etc or just to watch on our PS3, xbox etc - the Quick Sync on the i7 2600k has proven to be nearly 200% faster at transcoding video. It was even faster than a dedicated GPU.

I dunno why anyone would still go 1366 at this point or drop US$999 on a processor unless they are doing some serious physics experiments.

Intel needs to keep all those ppl who spent a fortune on 1366 happy and mentally secure I guess.
