Shouldnt RAM problems give some beep indication. Also I had run Memtest on it for around 6+ hours and did not see any problems.

Hi, My rig weirdness is back again now. I had earlier reported an issue with my rig about 2 weeks back, which started working after a BIOS reset. And yesterday this problem started again in the morning. When I switched on my comp and was using Windows, after about 15 mins the comp hung...

Hmm.. good to know your problem is solved. With all the problems with Corsair PSU's, guess my current one is the last one I'll ever get from Corsair.

How is the scanning quality on the Pixma MP180?

If your current GPU is fine beats me why you would want to upgrade now? Maybe when you start to feel your GPU is getting left behind you could look for deals / latest GPU then, so you will have the latest at that time.

Hmm.. I was wondering if we could use those normal vacuum cleaners on PC electronics? Are these safe to use on the chips or is there a possibility of damaging them (ESD or otherwise)?

Hmmm... are compressed air cans available anywhere in Chennai? Also how much do they cost? Are these alone sufficient or is anything else needed for a real good cleaning? (am also thinking of reapplying thermal paste on the CPU etc.)

Hi, I have an airbrush and thats about all I use for cleaning up the dust from my comp. Can you guys please let me know what kind of equipment you use for cleaning your rig? I've a huge buildup of dust in many places and am thinking of taking apart everything and cleaning them (only issue is...

Get into the BIOS and try monitoring temps/ voltage etc. from there. Also try loading all default values in BIOS and booting.

Apple sued for leaking personal info - The Times of India Saw this article. Could someone verify if this is true?

Crysis 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A game-changing session - Sci/Tech - DNA Also not sure where you played them both, but I found Crysis Warhead to be a lot smoother and a little bit faster than Crysis (both played on the same system).

Well Crysis2 is supposed to have lower system requirements than Crysis. And as with all things tech "Buy 'em when you need 'em". No point waiting endlessly for the next great version to come out.

Selling a 3-4 yrs phone I guess you may get half (or is that too optimistic) of the original price?

My rig is working fine now. Also did not really think the BSOD (one time) was the problem. The only time it ever BSOD'ed was after I changed GPU's (so guess that was because of an incorrect driver). As I mentioned the issue was that I wasn't able to get the system to even boot (even in BIOS it...

Well, I'm not sure what the problem is but looks like it is gone now. I managed to get into BIOS and reset all the values to defaults. Then was able to see Windows boot (but never made it to the login screen). So then reinstalled Windows and everything is working now (been running for several...

Was referring to the PSU voltage checking to help eliminate it from the list. Hmm... was kind of hoping there would be some way to check without taking the things out. Any other options? Does anyone know any reliable service engineers / shops that offer this kind of troubleshooting?

I cant get the desktop to boot most of the time. So dont think the CPU stress test can be run. Does anyone know if it would help (and how) if I get a Multimeter and try checking with that (haven't used one before but am willing to try :))

Only if you are looking to upgrade your whole system and even then unless it is on a budget I guess.

Couldn't it be a PSU problem? OR rather how can I eliminate the PSU and CPU from this?

Yup. :) Thanks to you and the team at SMC.
