RE: New WLM Build again!!!
Some people have problems with extensive resource useage, some don't. I'm one of those who doesn't. I personally haven't seen above ~30MB of RAM useage in quite awhile (while I'm even testing Plus! Live). I don't consider that to be much consi... | RebelSean | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-17-2006 at 10:27 PM |
RE: New WLM Build again!!!
50 freaking MBs... peaking to 90 + taking twice as much CPU time as my bittorrent client (edit: 2.7 actually :o ) :s. | Menthix | Skype & Live Messenger | 04-17-2006 at 08:40 PM |
RE: OMG Can't boot what theeeee
If you can't boot from a bootable Windows CD, then it is unlikely the problem is your hard drive. If you would like, you can temporarily disconnect the hard drive and see if you can boot from a CD then. You are also not getting anywhere close to th... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-17-2006 at 05:19 PM |
RE: OMG Can't boot what theeeee
Here are a few things you can try (although it won't surprise me if it turns out you have a serious hardware failure): 1) Enter BIOS setup and load the default settings. If you have several choices, load safe defaults. Make sure the boot sequence ... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-17-2006 at 03:20 PM |
RE: name a usb device
The fan will probably start spinning but it won't spin as fast as it would normaly do. Or, windows will say that a device in a USB port has exceeded its power limits :P | Mike | Tech Talk | 04-17-2006 at 11:31 AM |

RE: I got a weird problem

I got a weird problem
Over the last few days my new pc is getting on my nerves because of posible conflicts with my radio. Evertime I try to surf the web I hear a hight pitched sound, and my radio is distorting. Any help would be appreciated. P4: Mobo=Asus P5V800-MX ... | YourNeibour | Tech Talk | 04-17-2006 at 12:43 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
The reason for the use of thermal compound is because surfaces (the top of the CPU and the bottom of the heatsink) have imperfections. When imperfect surfaces are pressed against each other, the scratches and indentations remain filled with air. A... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-16-2006 at 05:56 PM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
to me, it's just nonsense to say that about CPU cooling, but well... | Apatik | Tech Talk | 04-16-2006 at 12:59 PM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
chipset coolers are really small... to fit on a chipset :p and because chipsets don't need as much cooling as CPUs. | Apatik | Tech Talk | 04-16-2006 at 01:09 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
to be honest i can't remember, my pc froze and shut down, before i should get a good look, but they looked like CPU coolers | NiteMare | Tech Talk | 04-16-2006 at 12:36 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
"chipset" coolers? do you mean CPU coolers? because i don't really see the point in adding/replacing a cooler on your chipset(s) (by chipset I mean northbridge/southbridge). when it comes to air cooling for CPUs, Thermalright is definitely worth c... | Apatik | Tech Talk | 04-16-2006 at 12:32 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
You can just stick a tiny blob in the middle. When you install the heat sink on it, it will be spread out by itself. This way, you don't have to touch. Remember also, like Adeptus said, less is more. Metal to metal contact is the best. The paste is ... | rav0 | Tech Talk | 04-15-2006 at 10:15 PM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
Thermal pads and grease are applied for one-time use. Whenever you replace the heatsink, you should clean it all off and re-apply it fresh. Which implies you shouldn't take the heatsink off if you don't have fresh thermal compound to put back on ... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-15-2006 at 04:25 PM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
Well, if you're going to buy thermal paste, then you might as well buy some cleaner and clean your CPU and heatsink properly before installing it using paste. | rav0 | Tech Talk | 04-15-2006 at 09:51 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
alright, then i assum replacing it with that thermal compound, as well as cleaning off any gunk on the cpu? (carefuly of course) | NiteMare | Tech Talk | 04-15-2006 at 09:41 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
like what? | NiteMare | Tech Talk | 04-15-2006 at 07:39 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
Thermal paste is a decent idea, but won't bring your CPU temperatures plumeting down. Even without it, you should get decent temperatures. Heatsinks don't just wear out, and fans will, after a long, long time, when they just stop working. So, your ... | rav0 | Tech Talk | 04-15-2006 at 07:26 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
actualy no, in my case, i've been able to conferm that its my cpu over heating, when every my CPU goes over 70C, it crashes now, for cooling options, i have 2 ideas, tell me if it will work: 1. get this type of gel or paste or something the you put... | NiteMare | Tech Talk | 04-15-2006 at 03:45 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
installing a fan or 2 can help a lot. not cpu fans but just general fans, i found help a lot | Reaper | Tech Talk | 04-14-2006 at 08:59 PM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
I tried SpeedFan here and compared the results to Asus Probe (I have an Asus P4C800DX motherboard). All the numbers match up and SpeedFan's "Temp1" on my system is ambient temperature and "Temp2" is CPU. "Temp3" here shows a negative number, ... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-14-2006 at 08:09 AM |
RE: Computer auto shuts down randomly
just a coincedince, temp3 doesn't change more then a degree temp 2 can get up to 70C depending on my CPU usage | NiteMare | Tech Talk | 04-14-2006 at 07:48 AM |
