    Computer boots for 2-3 seconds then shuts off

    I couldnt find a switch on the back of the power supply. I did however finally find a solution. I reset the CMOS by taking the battery out of the motherboard. The overclock must have somehow caused it to fail when I was gone for some reason. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    Buying a New Computer - Need Advice

    That computer is pretty good for your price range. The processor in it is okay as well. The graphics card does suck and the card that you posted is a good budget upgrade. If you are not looking into building your own pc from scratch it looks good. The 7750 line are good cards, I put one into...

    Computer boots for 2-3 seconds then shuts off

    I am thinking that it is the motherboard as well. I tested the power supply according to the corsair website by using a paper clip to make the fan spin. My motherboard has already run into a problem in the past. Currently 2 of my usb ports do not work on the backside. I am not sure what...

    Computer boots for 2-3 seconds then shuts off

When I came home it was in a reboot cycle. Now whenever I turn the power supply back on it continues this after I push...

    Diagnosing problems

    Ok my computer seems to have fixed itself. I am still going to clean it out as that just sounds like solid advice and check on the drivers. However if anyone has any other idea of what caused it for future reference that would be great. Possibly it was my internet and I was having connection...

    AMD FX 4170 vs. i5 2500k

    So is it a chip set thing that you cant really read in the specs? Also it seems odd that many i5 processors beat out i7s. Are the cheaper i3s like the 2120 comparable as well then? Actually I guess I can just find a graph too.

    AMD FX 4170 vs. i5 2500k

    The AMD processor is nearly a hundred dollars cheaper. The AMD also has a much higher clock rate. The cache is bigger as well. I cannot find out what the 2500k has over it. I am helping a friend put together a gaming PC that will do well with newer games and also basic internet surfing, etc...

    Cant detect second monitor

    You ended up helping me inadvertently. I figured that you put both monitors on one card so I found a vga-dvi connector and now it works. I am sorry. Your posts did give me the idea though. I just don't know why it was working the other way before. Whatever I have it solved. Thanks

    Cant detect second monitor

    Yes everything was exactly the same. I had my main monitor with a DVI to the graphics card and the other with a VGA to the motherboard.

    Cant detect second monitor

    I recently re installed windows on my computer. After doing so my second monitor is not being recognized and the only thing that I can do is have it Display the exact same screen as my primary monitor. I have been told that it might be something in the motherboard BIOS but I have no idea how to...
