Re: Forced to upgrade.
OMG, I decided to try it again once more. AND IT'S ALIVE!
Canceled that order, I'm going to wait till better CPUs come out. So I'm going to be stuck at 2.8 GHz for a little while now. But at least I have some money in my pocket!

Re: Forced to upgrade.
Phenom quads will hit 3.2G.. I've got mine set to 2.7 for now.. Gonna juice it up little by little. -Noting EXTRAVAGANT or extreme, but it suits my needs just fine.
Did you try a BIOS flash or CMOS reset?? Maybe it's something you changed?

Don't even need to do that lol. I just touch the chassis every once in a while to make sure I ground myself out. And I'm even working on carpet...sometimes in a fleece sweatshirt :laughing:.

Re: Forced to upgrade.
Every PC i have built has been on carpet with no anti-static wrist strap. The main thing is to make sure you ground yourself to the metal part of the case before you touch anything.
I have yet to get ASD (Anti-Static Discharge) on any part with the well over 100+ PC's i have built.
