mine is an old s478 mobo. dun have one. anyone have it? wanna donate it to me for free?

almost impossible

BSOD will appear once in a while, randomly on some system, and more occassionally on other systems

solution? convert to linux

use windows XP "Safely Remove Hardware" feature and you can't go wrong

unplug / switch it off when windows say it's ok to do so

as long as you do "safely removed hardware", you can do pretty anything aftewards

no need to plug out oso can.

analogy: what's the difference between NIKE and ADIDAS?

answers your question, rite?

dun get thing wrong here


high end pc gaming is not necessary all about the cpu

most important is the graphic cards. invest in a good graphic card

then, your cooling system. a hot system would only allow you to play for a while before artifacts appear

then, it's EXPERIENCE. a large LCD screen, good audio, high quality speakers, gaming mouse and keyboard makes much more difference than a quad core or i7

just remember, gaming isn't all about cpu power. they are just marketing gimmick

i'd rather have a nice gaming experience on a 30" lcd, 7.1 surround sounds and slick gaming gear rather than bragging to others that i played crysis on core i7 and with 15" crt monitor and cheap ipod earphones

there is never really a high end pc. today's high end pc are tomorrow's mid level pc

and yes, yours can be considered a high end pc... 2 years ago lar...

the fan is exhaust lar... angin keluar, tak masuk dalam

many causes, but just check psu. if u got an extra one lying around, try it

i still dun get what you are trying to describe

the psu has two fans - one intake, one exhaust. AFAIK, whatever the casing is, a standard psu will mount with the fans with the exhaust at the rear, and the intake will face the bottom side for ATX casing or up side (BTX casing)

try mounting the psu in ur casing, get a photo and see where it goes

just get a better PSU. it costs less than your graphic cards and serves you much much longer than that

a good psu with high output (check the +12v rails) last 3-4 upgrade cycles, so, it's worth every penny to invest in something good

most possible culprit is leaking capacitors on your mobo or faulty ram


u can use many freeware available. people call this ARTIFACT test. usually it is used to see how far u can OC the card, but artifacts can also proof your card is failing

this is just based on my personal exp, so don't come and sue me if anything goes wrong with your system

i use vacuum cleaner ALL THE TIME to clean up my pc internals. household vacuum cleaner. those standard rm300 ones that you plug into the 13a socket

and i use it with a 1" paint brush. works well, no damaged hardware.

of course you have to unplug your PC from the mains 1st. it helps to avoid you getting electrical shocks.
