Show Us Your WEI (2)

As soon as I put it in, and drivers or not my system freezes constantly. Take it out? No problem. Different card? No problem. It's just the GT220 apparently.

Also that's strange, since my onboard video is supposed to have it's own memory.

How much was your budget build liquidsnak

May be the GT220 is bad? By onboard video, I mean the graphics built in to the MB. A Guy

 

[LiquidSnak]

I know. ASUS said it has X mb dedicated to it, but I guess that's from the DIMMs...

The 220 works just fine in the vista computer over there *points*

This budget build:
Motherboard: $99
Processor: $74
RAM: $79
2X HDD: $110
Case: $70
PSU: $45
Fans/Cooling: $43

Total: $520

 

[LiquidSnak]

Hmm... in an interesting turn, after two days of being fine, the GC froze in the other machine. Maybe it's time to get ahold of BFG tech...

 

[A Guy]

BFG is no longer in the GPU business. I forget if there was still support for warranties on existing cards. A Guy

 

[Benjamin Hall]

Not the best, but then again, my laptop's not the best.

 

[LiquidSnak]

Well #$&! me.

BFG Tech, once a primary partner of NVIDIA, is now denying RMA requests on dead graphics cards and power supplies that were previously under “lifetime warranty” as the business is being wound down.

Here’s the letter being sent to customers who had sent in dead hardware, along with their unrepaired hardware: (quoted letter)

I guess that I bought a card with a lifetime warranty for nothing, then.

H E double hockey sticks that ticks me the frick off.

I suppose I'll just need a completely new card then. Maybe I'll go with the HD5550 GDDR5

Just be sure the PSU will run it.

 

[LiquidSnak]

I hope my 650W can take it. I bought it planning on 8GB ram, graphics, and 4 hard drives eventually with room to spare

Yeah, that's plenty!

Look at my specs!

 

[robbymcnob]

About the same sort of money as mine .Can you unlock the 4th core on those cpu's?

 

[LiquidSnak]

I'm not so sure. It might be possible, but for a pittance more, you can just get a quad core.

 

[robbymcnob]

Hmmm im liking that motherboard just found one on ebuyer for £65 might be the basis of my next budet build

 

[Maxxwire]

robbymcnob- Go for the quad core!

~Maxx~

[LiquidSnak]

Hmmm im liking that motherboard...

The ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO?

It's treated me well.

Apparently it's sex paired with black edition CPU's.

Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ940XCJ4DGI - Processors - Desktops

Although I can't seem to find that under 50 pounds.

 

[robbymcnob]
