Yeah my teacher was telling me to do this, but it's impossible to do with socket AM2, because theres little things on the sides preventing you from doing so.

Yeah like f*ing 5 of them >>

Well...guess what I let go flying? So much profanity could be coming out of my mouth right now >>

Alright, so I just got a new motherboard, and I went and tried to pull my old fan off, and the CPU came with it. OUT OF THE CLOSED ZIF! I'm kind of freeked out because my CPU might not work after this happens right? Any tips on how to get it off?

I don't get any error messages. Either it will just sit there, or it will restart my computer. Sometimes when the computer starts back up I'll get an option to report an error, and it'll say that something got 'caught' in the driver. And I say it's a 'loop' because it plays a piece of a sound...

Alright I tried running PC Wizard 2007 in the background, since it measures my GPU temperature. It stayed at 51 degrees the hold time, so I don't think it's overheating. Unless somehow it just random shoots up to temperatures in 5 seconds, only in these Direct3D games. Then I don't think it's a...

Alright Warcraft 3 worked for about a day...but now it's right back to playing for a while, then getting stuck in a little loop and it makes me hold down the power button to turn it off. But the new thing is this: the DxDiag tests still work! along with 3D Mark. One other thing that didn't work...

Alright I forgot that I didn't have the Athlon X2 optimizer installed on my computer after I reinstalled windows. So I installed that, then I installed the 84.21 drivers and everything is working fine now! As for the low score issue: +3.3V: 1.20V +5V: 5.04V +12V: 11.46V on the side of my PSU...

Alright. 3D Mark 2006 worked fine (except for the fact that I'm basically the lowest in my similar computer setups. I looked at the driver that the person with the highest make used (he got 3 times my score with a X2 3800 @ 2.2 and an extra stick of RAM). I think I'm going to try using that...

Um...I ran it when I first got my computer (like 9x my last one's score XD). I'll try running it again and I'll tell the results.

Alright now that I've reinstalled the chipset drivers it will passes the tests....but when I try to play Warcraft III, it'll go for a little bit, let me log onto Battle.net and then it will freeze up and make me hold down the power button to shut the computer off. This has been the first time...

Alright I tried disabling Direct3D, then enabling it. And it still failed. I then downloaded the DirectX 9c from the link you game me...then retried the tests, and it failed. I then disabled/enable and it still failed. So no help from that >< @ eric92park: I used Driver Cleaner Pro 1.5 when I...

Alright. I installed the 'suggested' drivers from the Nvidia page =) But I tried to play Halo again and it went for about a minute and then crashed. After it crashed it told me to try running dxdiag and I did and tried to run tests on the Direct3D Acceloration. It failed on the '7 test', '8...

Alright, like the title says I've been getting an error that says something like "a thread has gotten stuck in the graphics driver". What will happen is, while I'm playing a game it will run fine for a while, then it will get stuck in a small loop and play a sound over and over, then the...

Alright at the moment I can't even play the simplest games without the CPU jumping to 100% and some uber lag. Heres the system: New stuff: MoBo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138036 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103733 GPU...

problem fixed! when it asked me to "press any key to boot from CD" it didn't recognized me pressing a key, since I had a USB keyboard in. I switched to a PS/2 one and it worked fine!

I do have a new copy of XP. My compaq didn't come with one, so i got the new one. So could you tell me what I'm supposed to do after I activate windows? (don't want to mess anything up)

Alright I just finished putting in a new Mobo, CPU, memory, and PSU into my old compaq PC (using the Case, HDD, and Dvd drive), and I was just going to format the HDD but deleting the old windows partition during setup. I got the PC all up and going, but when I try and boot up windows through...

do you think that this will be able to power a system with an Athlon X2 3800 (65w), a stick of DDR2 ram, that video card, a case fan (blue LED), a CD wr/DVD drive, 5 (or so) USB devices, IDE HDD (using some stuff from my old compaq that this will be replacing)

alright as i said before i don't know much about PSUs and i didn't know if thats how it worked or not (seemed a little weird that you needed an expensive PSU just to run the video card ><) thanks
