Intermitten Boot problems, help?
This computer: PC Chips mobo, corsair XMS 512X2 DDR2, AMD X2 AM2, Onboard video & sound & Nic When I restart this computer, it seems to have about an 80% chance to Hang (freeze?) Right after it detects my processor (but before it lists the hard-drive and CD roms) at the bottom it says press ...

It suddenly for no reason started working. I 3dMarked this computer but used 3Dmark 06, which I guess is harder than 05, and got 3500marks or whatever, but i was above 50% of the other users so I guess thats not bad for 06. Ill get 05 and try it again. I had to run to work (where I am now) so I cant...

Sandra benchmark thing works pretty good, this computer is doing good. Only thing is it just told me my mother board was nearly 100*C. I touched the Mobo in several places and if anything its room temp, where is the sensor for mainboard temp located? even the northbridge (i think) with the heat sink...

Everything should be here in Short order. I could not find the RAM compatibility list for the Asus M2N Mother board I bought, I hope the Corsair memory works in it.. also I hope the RAM voltage can be turned up on the M2N to run the memory correctly, I hope it doesnt stop at like 1.95V or something.

Im considering this memory instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231087 Most of the 1 and 2 star reviews are either incompatibility issues or DOA, and...

Dumb question but, Say one type of memory is rated 1.8V @ 4-4-4-12 timing and another is 2.2V @ 4-4-4-12 timing What is the difference? Will the 1.8V live longer? be slower? Would I WANT to buy the lower voltage to benefit from increased ram life? And could it overclock faster because it uses less v...
