Although I used the MSI-K9N-Platinum SLI mobo in my 2nd build it had a plug-in directly on the board itself which was extra power for my video card-in addition to the connection on the...

Pretty quiet. All fans are speed adjustable. I believe the idea is with so many fans and all are running on slow(such as mine), then the volume if air flow is great enough to more than compensate...

icesaint:

I had the exact same symptoms also on my 1st build. Fans would run or try to run for approximately 1/2 second and then off. Nothing. My power supply had went out and I bought a new one...

UPDATE:

I ended up downloading Live Update 3 from the MSI website. Ran the utility.
It searched on-line for any updates. Found the Updated BIOS file amongst
other things. I only wanted the BIOS...

Yes, that's it W.M. Thanks for the correction. I'm a little vague on that kind of stuff.
I do have one problem? though. I have to hit F1 in order for it to boot into
Vista. It says unknown...

Thanks Rob. And I have a little more update for anybody using modems and
maybe this might help.

Vista installed like a breeze in less than an hour. I then installed the modem driver cd but Vista...

1st of all: Congrats on your new rig!!

Now my question: Did you experience a non-post screen(my monitor went
into power-save mode) when you initially put in your 4 GB of RAM? (Read my
post under...

Installed floppy, Sony DRU-830A Optical Drive, and
WD 320 HD.
Getting the floppy into the adapter kit for the Antec 900
was a bit awkward but came out great nevertheless.
Pressed power...

Your MSI mobo was probably finished before the 6000 cpu came out.

It's mentioned in the 2nd paragraph on the right column.

On your MySuperPC site if you choose either of the Athlon 64 X2 4200+ or
theX2 5200+ processors and go to the Newegg site and under each of
the processor's specifications they state: 'supports...

Hello, on my wife's Dell PC with 5.1 surround speaker system the sound is low but clear. Sub-woofer working. It's just that the output is low and I cannot seem to find anything to adjust and get the...

There's so many good ones out there. Free ones too. I have a section on my hard drive partitioned for MP3 Music only. I think I have about 50 gig for it. And I use the media player too for myself...

Hi. I have a bunch of CDs too, but not nearly as much as you! Wow. And my Rolling Stones are the best. I've built my own PC using Robs' manual. And I've converted and am still converting my music to...

Maybe but it doesn't ring a bell. A place I used to work at had some type of software installed on every one of their PCs.
At the task bar, I seem to remember there being a small round symbol that...

What is the name of the software that lets me 'look' but not interact with, another computer? Like for instance while I'm at work I can log on to this software and look at the activity that pops up...

I did your tips. Power Button: With VOM meter I measured one of the pins and it was +3.28V not +3.5V like the manual states. Thought it odd but continued on. Verified no voltage drop across the...

The original power supply was an Antec 450W. And I replaced it with another Antec 450W when the original died. Now I have replaced that with an Antec 550W. So I'm sure it's beefy enough.

I would...

I built my 1st PC last yr using your instructions. Thanks! It has been fabulous.
Approx 5 months ago the power supply went kaplut. When PW button was pressed nothing happened. New power supply...
