Ok, there's a monitor on the mobo cd, AbitEQ, allows me to monitor, but nothing else, I'll have to look into the other stuff as well.

Had uGuru, it was causing my CPU to be at 50% usage constantly.

:O The forums are proficient at sleight of hand!

Been here a week or two now, mostly lurking, and now making an introduction as I'm likely to be here to pester you with questions for a while ;) A bit more savvy than your average computer user, but certainly no super-geek. I love computers and technology, but really don't (and don't particularly ca...

Abit AN52 Not in the supported list. Is there any other program that will serve the same purpose? I'd like to be able to see how my system's performing, and be sure that it's keeping cool. Having thoughts towards possible overclocking, went looking around for guides and stuff to see what all was inv...

actually.. I seem to have fixed the problem. I had installed the uGuru to play with it though it was intended for a different Abit mobo, and apparently it was hogging my CPU, or giving false readings, or something. CPU usage is back down to 0-1% with 38 processes running after I uninstalled that on ...

Here we go:

The thing's not attached to the internet at the moment, though it's possible I got something before I took it off the network as it has no virus protection aside from Windows Defender at the moment. It's not a big deal, as I'm thinking about formatting and playing with Linux for a bit until I get th...

I checked Performance tab. Have 40 processes running, nothing that looked unusual. Have 61 processes running on the laptop I'm typing on right now, and it's down at 1-4% usage on a 1.79gHz processor. This is from sometime after I made the first post, it wasn't 'til after that that I had issues with ...

Alright, still having that issue every now and again, but not seriously gaming on it yet, still working with it. I've decided I'm going to save the money and get a a 8600 later. However, I'm finding something else. I saw this a while ago when I played around with the nTune monitor thing, but didn't ...

Well, it seems to have been resolved by updating to the newest Beta driver. Been doing some heavy gaming with Fable and Stronghold 2 (since I can't seem to find the disc for Oblivion, dammit >.<) and haven't seen it freeze up again yet.

It doesn't seem to be a power issue. It's freezing up, not dying. All my fans/LEDs/peripherals are still running, it's just that all processing freezes and I get the messed up screen.

Reseated the card, haven't had a chance to uninstall/reinstall drivers yet. Will do once I get home from work and have some free time. Anyways, back to work I go... home on lunch/dinner break >.<

No no, this is a brand new build. Desktop was built after the move. I'll try reseating the card anyways though. And I have no other system to put it in to test :/ My only other systems are laptops. Gonna try the nVidia patch, thought I got them all, it's possible I missed one. (EDIT: Since the new p...

Perhaps this is the wrong section, but I was looking for a little help in figuring out what's wrong with my computer. Just built it a week ago and have been having issues with it freezing in the middle of gameplay in both WoW and Fable (haven't tried any other games on it yet, still unpacking from a...

I used the Windows Media Center cds off my dell laptop and installed Media Center on my new desktop as a temporary OS, and was able to activate online just fine using the key off the bottom of my dell laptop.
