I bought a TR2-R1 CPU fan for my new Phenom X4, but it won't spin thus no POST. The fan spins if I push the blades though, and it runs fine on my backup PC. What gives? Please help.

I went ahead and bought an extra 2gb or ram bringing my total 4gb. Now for the SSD...I don't know anything about it other than it's suppose to speed up old computers. I'm on a budget so I figure I'll get a 32gb SSD for the OS alone. Is that good? I'm interested in SanDisk's ReadyCache 32gb...

Is it more powerful than a Intel Pentium E2160 dual core? :confused:

I bought a AMD Phenom X4 9650 CPU. I currently have a Sempron LE-1300 CPU and CPU usage is at least 20% and an average of 90% when just browsing the internet causing my browser to often crash. Will the Phenom be any better? :sick:

Thanks for the help, guys. I think I'm all set.

So in your opinion 6600k and 8 gigs of ram eh? Any suggestions of a ram kit?

In that case it would be best for me to go for the A10-6800K, correct?

Yeah I actually just found out the RAM is incompatible. I had gone with what Newegg suggested. Anyways I made my mind up on a new set of RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ Does it sound like a decent setup?

I recently had my Internet disconnected, and decided to share my iPhone's Internet connection (tether) with my PC. Now, the iPhone connection works, but for some reason my PC prefers to use my original Internet connection thus no connection. The only way I can access the Internet is by going...

I think I'm going to stay away from eBay, I feel they might be falsely advertising them to be AM2+. I think the best I can do is AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750, wait, is the AMD Phenom X4 9750 2.4 GHz Quad-Core better?

I want to upgrade my system to make it smooth at multitasking. I want something capable of encoding video, and run iTunes, Firefox, and Photoshop CS5 at the same time. Here's what I have so far: Video: PowerColor Go! Green AX5450 512MK3-SH Radeon HD 5450 (Cedar) 512MB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express...

I keep getting an error when installing the Radeon drivers from AMD. All I can get is AMD mobility from auto-detect. Will that matter? And I still can't get 1080p output even when I have the AMD drivers installed. I'm hooked up via VGA. EDIT: Looks as if it's my monitor that won't support 1080p...

Alright. I uninstalled the display drivers via device manager, and before I could install the drivers from AMD, I received a notification from Windows telling me the card was ready to use. I still installed the drivers I got from AMD right after. How can I disable Windows from installing the...

I installed the card and ran auto-detect and install for the drivers, direct from the AMD website, but for some reason it installed Catalyst mobility. Is that normal? I'm now downloading the drivers from the manufacture's website. I'm doing this as the max. resolution is the same as it was with...
