Ditto... For the as of right now the Speakers which I bought several years ago are the only components not on the to-be-upgraded list. |

Back on the CPU... Do you live anywhere near a Micro Center?
Q6600 for $200! You can order online, but going in person is always nice... LINK
Or if you don't live in CA you can avoid tax and get it from ClubIT for $235 +$5 shipping... LINK |

The problem is, when my computer turned back on it only went as far as the motherboard screen and froze. Single beep, no apparent problem, it just wont go any further. I've already done everything I could think of and was hoping you guys might be able to think of something I haven't. |
Some Suggestions:
1. Check all connections from the PSU to Mobo, Components (Video Cards, HD's, CDROMs) New PSU's for todays computers need at least 500 Watts of Clean, Stable power.
2. Check your Memory, if there is more than 1 stick remove one and try to boot. If you can get to BIOS it might be one of the sticks.
next, check out your Video Card if you can get into the BIOS Make sure all settings are in their default positions.
If you corrupted your Video Drivers, you may have to reinstall them. if its an Integrated Graphics Solution, and your running Visita, there may a Patch.
I hope this helps, get you started on the right track. |

I recently built a Lan Box for Gaming on, around an Asus P5K-E Intel E6850, Thermalright Ultra 120, 4 Gigs of OCZ DDR2 1066 Platinum, Asus EN9600GT 512, LG 20 X DVD+/-RW SATA, 250 Gig Seagate 7200.10 300 SATA, Ultra XBlaster MidTower Black, CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 750 Watt PSU.
SamSung 22" 2ms LCD, Vista Ultimate 64 Bit, and I must say it plays Crysis just great. I've never been so pleased with the excellent performance.
My Main Rig is an EVGA 680I Core 2 Duo Corsair setup with an MSI 8800 Ultra T2d768 OC Edition which at the time was the Highest Overclocked Card you could buy. The Point is, I liked the Asus Mobo better than the SLI Rig, as it's been a constant problem with BIOS Updates, Thermal Interface Mods, and I lost 2 Hard Drives, but when it runs right, it's a fast setup. |
