Computer Status

Well I have been in email contact with DFI (the manufacturer of my motherboard) and I would swear by now I’ve tried every combination of hardware I can…! With the TechSupport’s help and advice I seem to have narrowed it down to my graphics card being at fault in regards to the errors with it, although the Tech guy also said that my Chipset heatsink shouldn’t be as hot as I said it was (far too hot to touch) and they may need to take another look at it.

*Sigh*… Why they couldn’t look at it when they had the board last time I don’t know, but I’m not sending it off untill my graphics card works again.

So I’m back on my GeForce 4 Ti 4200 for now, although I fixed my RAM issue! The board limits the speed, unless it’s manually set, when you have more than one slot occupied! Stupid, but at least its easily avoidable…
Perhaps a case of RTFM!! :P
