View 5 Repliesi just finished my build and i have no idea why i went for a motherboard with 2 slots for ram it can hold up to 16gb but luckly ebuyer sent me out an extra 4gb of kingston hyperx ram so i have 8gb all together but theres a problem theres 4 sticks ! obviously i wouldnt want to send it back so what do ya think either upgrade my motherboard and smash the extra 4 gb in there or keep to my original one i dont have money to blow atall im really struggling if its something that will really make a difference ill go with it if not then ill just keep to my original and when i come to buy a graphics card i will get a 2gb graphics card to help with gaming?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question about Windows re-activation.
If I change a motherboard/cpu in an Dell PC, will I still be able to use Windows 7 on that computer? I know that I can get the drivers loaded ok in safe mode, but will I need to re-activate Windows 7 to get it working again?
I read something a long time ago about hardware changes and activation, but I don't know if this will happen in this case. No big deal if I just need to ring up, but I wanted to check it wouldn't just break.
On a Win XP machine you could delete the registry keys under HKLMEnum as the last step before removing the MB and when the new MB was installed the Plug & Play would install the your hardware drivers and properly configure the new MB.Is there a similar process that will work with Win 7? There is no HKLMEnum key in Win 7 registry. There is a HKLMSystemControl Set 001Enum.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy motherboard died on me, and so I had to change it together with the processor and RAM as there were no socket 775 motherboards available locally. However, Win 7 blue screens every time on start up, but very briefly, so I can't see the error message.
Win 7 repair then kicks in, but finds nothing wrong, so it goes round and round like that ad infinitum.
All the repair methods I have found require that you work within windows, which is patently stupid if you want to repair because you can't get windows to work - it's a bit like trying to open a box with a tool that's inside it!
I tried a new install, which has backed up my old Windows as Windows.old, and it goes though all the paces, but then refuses to accept the activation code.
I am now stuck with a non functioning PC, and am scared to add anything in the future in case of this type of thing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new case for my pc (CM Storm Trooper) and in the top front there is 2 USB 2.0 ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports build in (plus some other stuff) so i was wondering if there is a way that i can get the 3.0 ports working on my ASUS M4A77T Motherboard, which i don't think supports USB 3.0? Is there any adapter/PCI Interface that can make these ports useable?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have recently purchased an HP computer, that had Windows starter edition, i reformated the computer installed windows vista ultimate and then upgraded to windows 7, i have everythimg working fine, i managed to download most of drivers, my main concern is that card reader that i have in my computer doesnt show when i open my computer or computer,
that about normal mode, but the card reader shows in safe mode, thats wierd, and also these are generic drivers from windows 7, as i was unable to locate any drivers for card reader, may be you understand what my concern is, waiting eagerly for a reply. and my motherboard model no is (Foxconn MCP73M01H1).
Cpu i5 or AMD 1090t or whatever. I can pick out a motherboard that will support USB3 and SATA3 and of course I will have the 2 HD for them. I don't know crap about motherboards but when I pick one out to build my new computer what should I be looking at bus speed and so forth because I don't want to pick out a motherboard that will support them but is slow as mud so why bother so I want to do this right and another hundred here or there don't matter but I don't need a dragster just a Corvet. what I might want to take a hard look at on a motherboard?

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to go about moving hard drives to a new mobo. My current setup is running on an LGA 775 socket, and it's got two drives, one of which holds games and the other has Windows 7 ultimate which I installed. I need to know if there would be any issues if I got a better 775 socket motherboard and transferred the hard drives over. Would everything on the secondary drive stay the same as it was and be a simple swap? and would i have to reinstall windows on the primary drive or would I just be able to type in the product key again?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy PC is not working It turns on for five seconds, turns off for five seconds, then reboots but the screen displays nothing. I have checked the video card on a different PC, checked the HDDs, and the power supply - those are all working fine.I have assumed that the motherboard or CPU have died and need replacing (is there a way to find out for sure?).My main point for this thread: Could anyone please recommend me a really kickass motherboard, CPU, and RAM? I am also hoping to have one dedicated HDD for Mac OSX , so a processor/motherboard that will be compatible with Windows and Mac would be excellent (is this even possible?)have one HDD dedicated Mac OSX so I can use Final Cut Pro and avoid spending $2000+ on a Mac Pro.
I was recommended this processor: Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K

About half a year ago my computer began to not always start. When I power it on, the fans will get power (they are directly connected to the PSU) and spin up.When it does start, LED's on the motherboard light up - fans drop in rpm and the system boots.When it does NOT start, LED's wont light up - fans stay at max rpm and screen keeps black.Keep in mind that when the system is up and running, everything works perfectly.It never crashes.It performes like it should in demanding applications such as games etc.Temperaturs on CPU and GPU are normal.It should not be a problem with the PSU as I have had the problem with different PSU's.One thing to note is that let's say I unplug the power to my additional HDD's the computer starts pretty much every time, but not always (9 out of 10 or something)With both my HDD's connected is when it starts to become more like 50/50 if it's going to start or not.I'm thinking there might be a problem with the motherboard, but I'm not sure since the system runs perfectly once it's up and running. If it was anything major I assume the system would either not boot at all or it would have alot of hardware related crashes.
