    Did you try the other channel of memory banks? Generally there are 2 colors for the memory slots. Try both, only one stick at a time.

    New to overclocking - Asus P6X58D-E and i7 950

    Asus P6X58D-E and i7 950 Thats what I've got. I don't know the first thing about overclocking. When the PC posts, the memory only shows 1066Mhz but its 1600Mhz RAM. I assume I have to up the voltage or something? Will I notice a difference? Any input is appreciated!

    I use syncback. You just set it up and it does everything for you. Lots of options, incremental backup is also an option. http://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/

    Hey all! This might be an easy question... I currently have a wireless router with 4 port 10/100 switch. I would like to go to gigibit. Can I simply buy a gigabit switch and run that off the 10/100 router and get gigabit speeds if all devices are plugged into the switch? My mind...

    COmputer won't get passed Loading Screen

    Try to reinstall windows.. if you need to do a backup, take teh drive out and put it in another comp or a external enclosure and use another comp for the backup. If reinstall doesnt work, hardware of some type. Hard drive would be my guess.
