Ok, little update. I've been able to get it running again like before, checked all the boot settings, sequences, etc etc and when I was happy everything was normal, I restarted... No Post beeps once again. I just can't work it out. It can't be the CPU or Graphics otherwise I wouldn't have...

Hello all, I turned off my computer the other night, with the plan of looking at my ram to see exactly what it was, so that I could order some more (go from 1gb to 2gb). Anyways, after looking with a torch, I closed the case door and turned on the power, but it just seemed to hang. It...

yeah, I had to have several practice goes mounting the SI-120 onto a 7775 adapter bracket. Could have been real messy!

I'm back with all fans installed. Still sily temps really, sitting idle between 30 and 35 degrees. Maybe the thermal paste isn't on correctly ? I thought I did it right

ok, anyone that reads this may now (with my permission) slate me with all they have :P I was upstairs, trying everything when I thought "I havn't tried taking the battery out to reset everything yet", so I first went along unplugging everything except memory, and graphics, then took the...

Thanks, cleaned off both the old thermal paste, applied the new stuff and that is now sortred. Now the small problem of working out why my PC won't boot properly (all fans turn on, no beeps, no output) :O Had this problem when I first put it together a few years ago, think it was something to...

Hi all, just got a few bits to help keep my case a lot cooler, which includes some thermal paste. Now I've read that for the CPU (Pentium 4 3.2) you put a small blob of paste in the centre of the heatsink, about the size of a cooked grain of rice, which will then spread evenly. Is it the same...

I started another thread the other day about case cooling, and after reading a bit on these forums I was considering trying a small overclock on my P4 540 3.2 CPU. Also have the X800XT PCI-E graphics card, but not too sure if I want to risk touching that. If I could manage to get a good...

thanks for all the advice, it certainly has helped me in choosing the various bits and bobs. In the end I ordered the Thermalright SI-120 + adapter clip for 775 (I would have ordered the Scythe Ninja but I seriously doubt that it would fit in my case). For the fans I ordered 5 x 80mm...

I really like the look of the Scythe Ninja but I'm doubtful that it will fit in my case. It reads 150mm heigh, I have a Premium P5AD2-E Mobo, I can't see it coming in to contact with my PSU, but its a question as to if I can get the side of my case back on :D With the AC Freezer, I don't...

I'm looking at the various fans and I have no idea which ones to get. Could someone suggest 5 x 80mm fans, and 1 x 120mm fan please (like the look of the vantec stealth ones) ? Also what would be the recommeneded CPU cooler for the 3.2 775 P4 (read about the Arctic Freezer...the one that...

Thanks, I'll go and get 5 x 80mm fans for the front and rear, and 1 x 120mm for the top blowhole. I'll also look in to a decent cpu cooler. On a side note, do you have to actually buy Exhaust fans or will a normal fan blow 1 way, where as turn it around and it will suck ?

Yep, I havn't got anything overclocked, which is why I really need to do something about the heat. The heatsink I am using is either the Zalman CNPS7000B, or the Zalman CNPS7700 (bought it from here some time ago as I was getting even hotter temps with the stock Pentium fan). As far as i could...

Hello all, My PC keeps on freezing whilst I have been playing various games, around 5 minutes after I start. Anyways, I decided to check the temp of the cpu whilst I was playing and was getting temps of around 60 to 70 degrees, which I know is not too good! My system at the moment is a 775...

I just bought a Samsung 930BF and received it today :D So far very happy with it, but for some reason when I play PES5 in high detail @ 1280 x 1024 on an X800XT graphics card I seem to get a little line just above half way appear every so often, quite annoying so I've had to switch the res...

ok ok ok, I visited a Sony Centre today, and I can say that I'm without a doubt buying the KDL-32A12U 32" LCD, along with this I am planning on buying the NS92V DVD player (HDMI), BUT I also noticed a set of speakers called HTSF1000, anyone heard anything about these ?

Thanks :) After reading and reading about the LCDs, I think I'm pretty much set to buy the KDL V32A12U, just need to go to a Sony centre today and check it out. The 1 HDMI socket doesn't really bother me, as I'm more then likely not going to buy a PS3 (I'm not a console person), and I don't...

I think I'd prefer the 'Buy and forget' type at the moment, this is my first venture into lcd & cinematic experiances, so although I don't want to skimp on certain things (I've always been on the opinion that for the majority, you get what you pay for...ie no dvd + speakers for £100 if you see...

all this is getting way above my head :P I'm not keen on the Stero or anything other then the 5.1 option, as I will be playing the majority of my music through my PC, the only proper music aside from film soundtracks etc that I will be using the home cinema system for would be the odd concert...

If I'm not going to see much difference then I should forget about the lack of DVI support and take a gamble and buy it I guess. As stated before in other topics, the price is very hard to disagree with.
