If you have a MicroCenter nearby it is worth taking a look to see what deals they have. I thought I was getting a good deal on a Ryzen 1700 on eBay for 160.00 but then I looked at MicroCenter. I don't have a MicroCenter near me but I was still disappointed to see that they had a Ryzen 1700X for 150....

If you can wait for the Ryzen 2 3000 series to come out next month or so. If you can't wait try looking at Youtube videos, PCPartPicker.com and the TR guide for general direction and info. Look for deals at any MicroCenter or Frys Electronics near you also. Using reviews on Newegg and Amazon helps w...

+1 Moto G Suck it up and get the Moto G 5plus or the G4 plus. I still have a 1st Gen Moto G. It is still alive and kicking, my kids use it now as a mini tablet. The Moto G series have been top of the budget phones for years on many sites too. Just looked on GearBest and saw the Mi 5 is on sale for l...

My main system is not beefy. I am almost ready to retire this old girl or like we are talking about turning her into a NAS. I have two old PC's the one I built almost 10 years ago with the help of TR and the forum (I ran into some bad RAM. Not fun to go through on your first build, I thought it was ...

Sigeric

Thanks for the replies. I don't have Windows 10 Pro as of right now. While the QNAP or Synology options seem tempting I would hate to not use the equipment I have laying around. I am leaning towards a FreeNAS system but I wonder how power efficient it will be. I still need a few parts if I was to go...

With all the troubles with 3rd party add-ons working with Kodi, streaming any show and movie days seem to be numbered. It has me thinking to build a NAS server and get my own library up and running. I have watched a few YouTube videos and read some guides online but my go to site for PC information ...

In December it will have been 10 years. I am using it to make this post. I have gone through a graphics card and I upgraded to a SSD which really gave it a new life.

So far so good. I had the router channel on auto when it needed to be set to just one.

Sigeric

Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry for the lack of details, I thought it might be a general problem. Once I come home it seems like it boots everyone off the wireless network. One time I came home and it disconnected while my wife was working on the PC from home. On my phone and other devices it sho...

Sigeric

It seems like almost every time I come home I need to reboot my router. I have a 2nd gen Moto G. The wired internet works and you can even see the signal but you cannot connect. I tried googling it a bit but I guess I need to know how to google better. I hope you guys have some ideas while I learn t...

My old headset broke and since then I have tried 2 other headsets. For some reason if any music or sounds come over the headphones it goes through the mic also and people can hear the music or sounds but not me. If all music or sounds are muted they can hear me fine. I have played with settings, upd...

Sigeric

I ran the furmark it got up to 108C it didn't shut down though. It didn't make it freeze up either.

Sigeric

I downloaded the latest updated drivers. I will check out the temps and get back to you guys. I don't play any other games and I don't even own any other games to test it out. The PC freezes I can't tell if it's the OS or just the game cause the game is on top and I can't get it off. CPU E6750 Mobo ...

When I turn the graphics up on LOTRO my PC freezes up. When I have the game set my graphics it wants to put it on Very High, I turn it down to High and it still freezes up, but when I turn it down to Meduim it doesn't seem to freeze up. Is this a problem with the graphics card or maybe something els...

Sigeric

Well I think it's fixed, kinda, it was bad RAM. I played my game tonight and still froze up though. Would love to figure out what keeps causing that.

Sigeric

The RAM is not high end or anything. The PSU is a Antec 550W it was recommended by TR a couple years ago for the build I did. It is 2 years old so it could be getting weak. I am at work right now but I will give an update some time tonight maybe. I really appreciate all the feed back and suggestions...

Sigeric

Ok ran memtest and it didn't even last 5 minutes.... Bad RAM then?

Sigeric

If it lasts that long. I got into LOTRO to play just a bit and got a quick blue screen, couldn't read what it said, then it restarted and got stuck on the POST code 50 again, luckily I shut it down and it booted up without having to pull it all apart again though.

Sigeric

HD was not in PIO mode. The problem went away on it's own after a few days, then after a few days of booting up nice and fast just stopped booting at all. I played with connections. I did notice that on the Abit IP35 Pro they have a digital POST code readout. My Mobo kept getting stuck at "52&q...

Sigeric

The other day I was playing Lord of the Rings Online and it froze up (not that unusual, seems to happen when I group up and get into an instance, turning down graphics seems to help.) I powered down and tried to reboot and it took like 5 minutes to get to windows, it usually took 1 minute. Since the...

Sigeric

I am just a plain fool then. Everything running the way it should and even better than I thought. Thanks for the info guys, I feel a whole lot better now.

Sigeric

I built my first system a couple weeks ago and I promised myself I wouldn't overclock it for like a year until it was "broke in" first. Well I am afraid I am a little addicted to playing with things I don't know about and when TR came out with their little OC guide I couldn't help myself. ...

Sigeric

I LOVE the case, user friendly and good quality too. I would research reviews for your PSU before you buy. Good luck with your build, I was frustrated when it wasn't working, but now it feels great (Thank god for the guys on these forums, who knows how long I would have been trying to trouble shoot.)

Sigeric

All the memory slots work and stuff. The problem was filling the 2 and 4 slot instead of the 1 and 3 slot first. Everything is up and running. This is what I got. Case: Antec 182 PSU: Antec NeoHE 550W CPU: Core Duo E6750 2.66GHz w/stock heatsink Mobo: Abit IP35 Pro Memory: Corsair Twin 2GB 6400C4 HD...

Sigeric

Yeah I did, I had them matched up, I used 2 and 4 I think to have one of them far from CPU, now I have them in 1 and 3 and it works fine.

So maybe a bad memory slot? After all the hard work I would hate to return the board, I might just live with it.

Sigeric

It's working I am writing you from my virgin PC. I think it had something to do with the memory (Thanks Flybywire.) I installed all the drivers, windows etc... So I figured I would put in the second memory stick and it wouldn't boot, I switched the slot pairs and its working now. Does this mean I ha...

Sigeric

I got it to run for a little bit by trying to tighten the connections but it froze up when I was installing windows and now it won't work again.....

Trying to one module and the power connector thing again. I am pretty sure the cpu is in right, it only goes in one way. Wish me luck....

Sigeric

The card seems to be working, well at least the fan is.....

Sigeric

It doesn't beep

Antec 550 HE PSU

Corsair twin 6400C4 2GB

500GB WD HD

DVD rom
CD R/W

Everything seems tight I will go over it again

The old HD won't work it is an ide and I only see one port on my MB. Will it even work? I don't want to mess this thing up more than it already is.
