Well for starters I should maybe give you guys a history why i bought a new computer.
Sure, It was about to get upgradet after 2-3 years... but that's only a small problem.
You see.. Once upon a time... my computer felt great! and we had fun and gamed along on SpA servers.
And one night, i found out i need a smoke after Torching some blu's realy seduced me.
So i grabben my Tobacco and rolled myself a nice smoke (Dunno what ya say it in english,... >.<)
and went out on the same spot I used to smoke, leaning against a FENCE!

minutes went and i just watched the peacefull starlight skies, then my smoke came to an end.
I went in and threw off my shoes, Gently hanged up my Coat... and went in to my room.
Something was wrong, the lights were off, I cant remember turning it off, so i just hit the light, and sat down on my not realy comfortable "chair". screen was off... the mouse not shining, keyboard not "blinking".
I tried to Start it up again, no life...

I went home to my dad (a more-than-novice computer user, much to learn from him ^^)
tried to sort things out but after many hours of research...
The motherboard died, so I found this as an opportunity to Upgrade my comp.

It wasnt compared to this one o.O the 9800gtx costed like... 1000 more KR! or was it... 700-800 kr more <.<
and the XFX 8800GTS Alpha dog edition costs around 600-700kr
anyways... back to the problem

I surfed around on the internet and on some forums and i found out that i might have to FLASH my Motherboard.
Well sounds easy enough... but.. can you find the BIG problem? (It's quite ironicly tbh...)

Have you checked if your mainboard supports your CPU from scratch or if you need to update your BIOS?

you using any of the old parts from your formar PC ?

Post subject:  Re: New Computer, New Proplems
Hmm I would go with the BIOS updates - just remember to clear your CMOS after the update.

In relation to the 9800GTX - its pretty much the same as the old 8800GT. The 8800GTS 512MB has more Stream Processors than the 8800GT and 9800GTX.
