Here's a link to the max temps on the 5200 X2's. http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUSideBySide.aspx?id=37&id=38&id=39 Are you getting 56 degrees at idle or under a load?

Thermal shutdown perhaps? Can you reboot, and does your CPU fan work?

The fact that this problem is not duplicated when in safe mode or booting from a CD would lead me to think it is not really hardware related. So did you look at what your refresh rate is set to? Display Properties --> Settings --> Advanced --> Monitor Source Link...

I'm wondering if it could be that your monitor's refresh rate is incorrect? Has that been changed or can you look at what it shows?

I am convinced the PCI-E people try to be as confusing as possible. My guess is they are saying it has two slots capable of running two PCI Express 2.0 x16 type graphics cards. The second slot will step it down to X8 though. So basically they are saying, yes you can use a X16 graphics card in...

Yeah, looks like a misprint. look that the specs of that board.

I've been reading DDR3 should be coming out when the AM3 sockets come out - possibly Q1, 2009. One source: http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-to-Adopt-DDR3-technology-88811.shtml

If you want to uninstall Combofix, here is a link I found for instructions. http://www.myantispyware.com/2008/03/26/how-to-uninstall-combofix/ I am not familiar with Combofix, so you may want to get a second opinion on this before doing anything. Good luck.

Couldn't find anything on a Qoobox virus, but there is a Qoobox that is apparently a part of ComboFix anti spyware. From this link: http://forum.tweaks.com/forum/FindPost208926.aspx Do you have Combofix installed? If so, Combofix looks to be some heavy duty anti-spyware made for specialists...

It looks like another security feature. Here's a link. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10166_7-6442172-1.html

Has anyone tried Radiotracker? The May 2008 issue of Maximim PC magazine gave this one of their "softy awards". I have not tried it so I cannot vouch for how well it works, but Maximum PC seemed to like it. It looks like the software itself costs $40, but there is a free trial...

I've been using Vista since July 2007 and have no complaints with it. At first it had a few issues, but those were all mostly 3rd party stuff that was quickly sorted out. I can boot to Vista, XP or Ubuntu and 80-90% of the time I'm using Vista.

Don't overlook Amazon.com. Sometimes they have very good prices.

You might have a bit of trouble with that sata connection on the board too. It's difficult to know from the picture.

Did you install the SP1 update? SP1 is supposed to improve file transfers.

This forum has a pretty good guide you may want to read. Video Card 101 and Multiple Displays 101. http://www.computerforum.com/video-cards-monitors/announcements.html

Yes, the longer white slot. You are using the onboard graphics built into the motherboard. That is why it is currently working. A graphics card will have the ports sticking out of the back of the computer. Look at this link for an example on installation instructions...

Maybe this link will help you in troubleshooting this problem. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318027

The longer white slot on your motherboard is where you would put the graphics card. As Cleric7x9 already said, make sure you get one with two monitor ports. Right now you are using the onboard graphics off of your motherboard with only the one port.
