Pop in your motherboard disc and make sure the driver for the pcie slot is installed. Usually you don't need to install a driver for it but on some motherboards you need to.
Well with so little info i couldn't diagnose a possible problem but to reset the CMOS you need to keep the batterey out for longer than 30 seconds. Take it out, unplug the psu, and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then leave the battery out for another 5 minutes.
The i7 is certainly faster.
The benifits of the i7 are that it's faster, overclocks at least as well, and the mobo has future upgradability. If it's not too finantially detrimental then get the i7, otherwise don't.
Well get a new heatsink and install it. If you start up and it runs fine then your luckyif it doesn't then get a new CPU for your socket and use the new good heatsink on it.
I think a driver problem is pretty unlikely. I've installed ATI -->nVidia and vise versa without even uninstalling the previous driver and I've never had problems. While it's worth trying I don't have hopes for it working. I still hold that a reformat is the best option... It not only solve...
Well the i7 runs really hot otherwise I wouldn't consider the second radiator/pump. it runs at 70c after an hour of orthos. As long as I'm redesigning my whole system I want to make sure it's top notch.
Well I'm not quite sure where to find the data but if you search through all the program files associated with the game you should be able to find it. While reformatting will probably fix it you should try some other fixes first since I am very reformat happy. But if you don't mind a couple...
The reason I was thinking about 2 pumps is because the water will move about 20-30% faster which would end up being cooler. But, I want to know if it's worth another 70$.
I was leaning towards the first setup because the water would pass through a radiator before going through the hottest...
Lately I've gotten into F.E.A.R. 2 and GTA4. And I've been into Counter Strike for 7 years now. I moved on from CZ to Source a couple months ago. I'm on a sponsered CAL team and we get paid $50 each every match we win. I'm always playing CS and I play other games in my off time.
I have to...
If that's the only reason you don't want to reformat then put the saved games on a thumb drive. If someone comes up with a fix than great but I kind of doubt anyone will. And if they do I'll get to learn something.
ok since my koolance WC case is sucking I'm going to comletely redo the WC system, and I want to make sure my planned loop is good. There's 2 setups I'm trying to decide between.
1. Resovior-->pump-->CPU--> 80mm single-->GPU-->120mm triple-->resovior
2. Resovior-->pump-->GPU-->80mm...
