i would say your first guess was right, maybe a capacitor did burn out, if you have a fairly good knowledge about these things, pull off the case and check for any electrolyte, if there isn't any,...

Haha awesome, but im just going to throw a couple of guesses at how it works.

Well, from what i learned, they arent really intelligent at all, they are called "Chat-bots" and they learn from...

burning ozone? is that sorta like a weaker smell of burning plastic?

By the way, it could be any component overheating.

my old amd athlon X2 5200+ got up to 100 degrees centegrade.

hello 2007 thread. just needed to point that out

Hello i was just wondering if this card is worth its buy.

$600 looks like the spree of the ultra all over again!

FROM WHAT IVE SEEN, this card gets very high fps in high res!

OR swap out the ram for a new pair to see if it's the ram.

buy a cheap mobo/cpu and check that way.

you can buy a working version of either for around $50

DDR3 MOBO, and d0ont overclock until you meet cooling requirements

i have a board that continues to beep when the cpu overheats, and stops when its cool again.

ok you want more power?

get the AMD Phenom quad-core CPU. make shure its revision B3 models or you'll get hangs during gameplay.

fastest Phenom at 2.5GHz (PER CORE!)

costs are a little rough...

lol bad timing.

0oyh yea i forgot to say, the GPU or CPU fan went nuts!

i hve no idea how old this thread is but here it goes,

the same thing happened to my pc, i had to replace the motherboard.

the HDD would rarely spin up and just about always didnt POST.

i better not be years late!

try borrowing a new cpu to test this out.

if it doesnt hang after a day of intensive application usgage then it is the cpu.


MAKE SHURE YOU HAVE PROPER COOLING!

if not say bye bye to you'r...

1) a new mobo requires a new install of windows
(not in all cases like mine)

2) MOBO might be too old

3) install the most recent bios off a floppy from another pc.

are there only like 5 or 10 threads that are actually from this year?!

wow this is one outdated website!

LOL indeed

oh..

HOLY

wow didnt realize!

im on the 9 series (9800GTX.)

i suggest you try to cap you'r price at $500.

but since you intend on 300, try out the 7600GS

very good card, i used to use one until i got 8800.

then i upgraded to 9800GTX.

maybe buy the...

Why isnt anyone looking!

hi im just wondering if the Nvidia 9800GTX has 2 GPU cores, it says so on the box but i don't trust it.

there is no option for SLI, i cant find it if there is one because i don't know where to...

i already have the most recent, and yes i have lolz.

it's just a bit hard to diagnose.

by usable, i mean i can terminate the process and coninue using the system.

the power is ok, because the entire ssytem is still usable.

and the power supply mees the min spec's and exceeds them

when i was playing C&C 3, the game Hung causing me to try and end the process.

the same happens in Colin Mcrae DiRT.

im running Windows XP

GPU:Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX 512MB!
CPU:Amd Athlon...

did you ever seem to think the motherboard has a faulty power regulator?

have you ever had another Nvidia GPU?

if so use a proper driver uninstaller and uninstall all Nvidia display drivers.

then re-install the latest drivers for the 8600gt.

not really, the GPU doesnt suffer much if the games configuration is set for multiple display enhancement in Nvidia control panel.

i only have one 9800GTX and it runs perfectly with dual displays...

if the cable is damaged, you will have to get a new one.

Not all damage can be seen because inside that big black wire is more wires.

inside of one of those wires might be a break.

anti-aliasing makes those zigzaggy lines in games and things smooth.

Anisotropic filtering smoothes the textures so, for example a grass texture will blend nicely with A mud texture.

the higher...

to be honest, you cannot run crysis with the current hardware available on the market with all the eye candy.

even my nvidia geforce 9800GTX can't play crysis on very high unless its a small map...

nevermind, got a new 9800gtx to make shure it isnt the gpu, dw tv doesnt let me use the res =-)

except netfront for ppc

it isnt a good idea to try and tap a School network, most school networks are monitored and if caught you could be in a whole lotta trouble.

and ive tried hacking with all 3 of my pocket pc's
...

try this:

i forget what to run but its a program used to edit system startup options, add the following command: Explorer.exe

oh yea! CTRL+ALT+DEL and click run, then type in Explorer.exe and...

maybe a bad capacitor on the mobo?

my old laptop fried because a cocroach got stuck in the CPU cooling fan's LOL

mabe you havent installed your proper WIFI drivers?
