New PCs finally

by MerlinatoR • 5 Sep 2008, 14:05 • Journals
well finally finished mine and my brothers PC's, thanks for all the help in > http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=64019 , changed quite a bit from original setup :)

only had one issue, my brothers PC would instant reboot as it hit loading windows screen - one of the corsair ram sticks was borked, rare I guess (on arrival)

so myself and galla are very happy with our total new builds, and my other brother ArtstAr is happy (I guess the amount of ET he plays!) with the 'upgraded' version of my Old PC.

Im getting close to 900fps uncapped on cod4 myself, and solid no flicker 125 in the wolfenstein series which is great.

I think we spread egad rights to the masses, we didnt undermine egad in fact we idolised him - he was a hero among soldiers.

or sumzing ;P

idd - let's hope to bring him back to the spotlight one day soon.. he deserves it, he's been stored in the "dreadful" cupboard for far too long now..

btw, did you start on the one soldier movie in the end?

Have you put the ram in the right slot? I made the same mistake when I made my last PC up. Complete noob oversight. They run in dual channel so slot 1/3 or 2/4, until you get more than two.

MerlinatoR 5 Sep 2008, 15:55
my bro has exactly the same mobo and ram as me. so swapped it around a bit, definetly the stick (I have made that mistake before though, one of the things I checked early!)

Yeah I checked the other journal. I made the wrong assumption that one of my sticks was bad and sent it back to Scan, so I thought I'd just mention it just in case. :P
