  • Potential issues with replacing mobo ASUS A8M2N-LA

    My two year old HP a1630n desktop didn't power up yesterday.  Power supply is working (LED light is on solid) so it is likely the OEM mobo by Asus being the problem.  HP does not sell the original mobo any more.  How should I find a compatible mobo?  If I replace the mobo, will the PC boot up at all without reinstalling or ...

  • Dell C521 CPU upgrade?

    Hi, I have a Dell C521 with a AM2 socket.  However it have a weird heatsink.  You'll need to look up pictures. I want to upgrade the Cpu for 60 to a max 100 bucks.  I don't think the the problem will be to find a CPU but to find one that will work with the built in heatsink.  Also it's 90nm and a AMD  athlon 64 ...

  • Mounting a thermalTake Big Typhoon to an AM2+ ECS

    Morning all: My first post, so be gentle.  I have a Big Typhoon CPU cooler which the instructions are not clear on. It tells me to ''leave the back plate'' on the ECS  GeForce7050M-M (V2.0) motherboard. However, there is no back plate to the motherboard.

  • Phenom II (AM3) Memory limitations on AM2+ socket

    I'm planning to build a new system based on a Phenom II chip.  One thing I'd be wondering but havn't found clear answers to is what memory restrictions exist for AM3 Phenom II chips like the X3 720 (currently my top choice) when running on an AM2+ board.  Specifically, does the 1 DIMM per channel restriction still exist when using DDR2 ...

  • Video card dying out?

    Over the last two days it would seem that my Nvidia 7600GS video card has been giving out. A few of the capacitors feel like they are bulging slightly, but do not visually appear much different from the rest. The fan is still in place and working fine, though the metal casing for the GPU fan was pretty hot.   The problem is that whenever I ...

  • Can I upgrade my CPU?

    Hello,   I purchased item #N82E16813138100 a while back and it's running great, but now I find it's time to upgrade.  The MB is a BIOSTAR K8M800MAM2 which came with a AMD Sempron 3400+ processor.  I want to upgrade the CPU to the newer Phenom X4.  Both are socketed for AM2, but because this board is so old the manufacture ...
