Hi
It's been a while, but I've got 2 questions! Please tech-savvy advice only!
1) CPU or VGA problems
In my desktop rig with Gigabyte "GA-P35-DS3L", I took out a P4 2.93ghz in it and replaced it with a E6400. Nothing is wrong with this. :cheesygri
When I put the bios into "optimize mode" problems occur, while "load-safe mode" loads XP fine.
Problem is that my old X700pro, is giving me ati2dvag issues, such as "stuck in infinite loop" or "memory dump" blue screens on start up. I have a homemade passive cooler on it (taken from an old card). I don't think it's too hot at all (especially start-up).
Could it be that I need a fresh install of XP? :evil:
2) What is a sick CPU cooler you'd recommend?
Should I go for the Tuniq 120 or the Ultra 120 or TRUE? I probably won't use this for OCing, but it is just a novelty? What is a mid range one you'd also recommend?
I've used a few already, and I am tempted to try the Arctic Freezer Pro..
Thanks a bunch!
