Are you sure you put the new stick, by itself, in the proper slot? If so, it looks like you got a bad stick. :(

You should try removing the second stick and test again, unless you know which stick was giving errors...or were both giving errors? I would try testing one stick at a time in the first designated slot and go from there.

+1 That's why they sell them. :good:

5th from the top, Processor Upgrade Information. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01421635#N94 Looks like you're maxxed out...

Nah, you don't need a bunch of tools. Just a phillips, like you said, small pliers for the stand offs, and lots of zip ties.

Those temps seem high for just sitting in the BIOS, although probably not high enough to shut down the CPU. Windows could be corrupt. Have you tried reinstalling? If you need to backup your data, put the hard drive into another computer and copy/paste stuff you want saved.

Ok, so the PSU had a 4+4 CPU plug, thankfully, so no worries there. The motherboard plug was also 20+4. Yay. Bummer, I couldn't get the other 2 cores unlocked. I'm thinking lack of the "Hybrid" option in the BIOS.? I tried ACC plus every other option I could think of, and every option I...

That Hyper 212 looks sweet, Drenlin. Looks like my Noctua, but with a joke of a price tag. Excellent, especially if it works well. :good: Yes, you'll need to apply Thermal Compound to the aftermarket CPU cooler. The method is debatable, but I use the method you stated. (single drop, let...

What are the CPU temps while you're in the BIOS? Are all your fans and heatsinks clean?

That's plenty. :good:

Specs and price look good. I just don't trust Samsung drives. :o

Most will agree, that's the best air cooler you can get. The fans are for the cooler. Only the top skin is Stainless. You said you wanted something better... that you can overclock. You current cpu is only Dual Core, and you could easily get the i5 750 that high.

Cuz it's better than 2GB. :D Hey junior_tm, Download Service Pack 3 man! Your computer is not secure!

How much to you plan to spend on this build, maximum?

What is the exact model number? We'll be able to figure out if it has onboard graphics or a standalone graphics card and go from there.

AMD CPU's are cheaper and do good with most applications. Intel's "Core i" series CPU's do great at everything. :D How much are you looking to spend on this build?

He was right, in that instance, for that particular game.

Hard to advise when we don't know your budget. What's the most you want to pay?

Well I'll be dipped. You are correct sir! :o But, even without Hyperthreading, it'll smoke an Athlon II X4...:D You won't get the same performance for less money. You'll get decent performance for less money. ;) Here's what I would do with $1000 $964.90 Shipping would be around $20-30...

Absolutely. As unlikely as it may be, if a PSU goes out, it can take other components with it. You couldn't go wrong with a Corsair TX or HX unit. CORSAIR 650TX $89.99 I just looked at your current computer...any specific reason for going away from Intel? I could throw together a pretty...
