I'll send you what I have. I don't think it is wallpaper size. Original dimensions are 650X415.

So should i flash to a 70x series bios before installing a X2 processor, or just go with the 623-3 i have now?

haven't completed made up my mind as of yet, but i am strongly leaning toward that side of the fence.

Sierra_abx · 08-29-2005, 11:21 PM

623-3 should work fine. Anything after and including 510B & 510T1 will support dual-core chips.

thanks, if i can RMA the 3200+ i will go for the X2 otherwise i will just get a Sandy i think.

cool, thanks for the reply. i ordered 1Gb OCZ EL DDR PC4000 Gold Series VX Dual Channel kit OCZ5001024ELDCGEVX-K

will this help with my cold boot issue? its definately this cold boot because you got to swap ram about for it to work but this time its just not playing ball.

Sierra_abx · 08-30-2005, 01:37 AM

VX is also UTT memory, so you may or may not have problems.

Arrrgh! Rebooted twice playing BF2 tonight at my previously 24/7 stable settings with my BH

I am keeping the TCC5, AFAIK it can't be the RAM, both sets are failing now. Got to figure out if the CPU or MB is the culprit.

Sierra_abx · 08-30-2005, 02:02 AM

If you have another CPU, it would be easy enough to test and confirm whether it's the board or the processor that causing the problems.

Sorry to hear your troubles Eldonko

BTW, what is your BF2 name, I'll try to find ya one night. I'm not that good though LOL.

Eldonko · 08-30-2005, 02:09 AM

Yup I have a 3000+ winchester but its pretty much always being used these days. Will try and sneek it out for some tests tomorrow or Wednesday. :P

Its Eldonko heh. Was on onexalliance again tonight

I like that server, theres usually 40 or so at a time and server lag is low. I'm not that good either, all my experience is from the original BF1942 and I am still learning the maps in BF2.

After 2 reboots I loaded stock settings 2200Mhz ram 2-2-2-5 2.8v and system was stable. So it looks like I have not lost all stability, just some of my OC stability. This is the first problem I have had with this DFI (or CPU), I hope I can figure it out soon, this kind of thing drives me nuts.

Sierra_abx · 08-30-2005, 02:20 AM

So the problems all started after you flashed and switched to another set of RAM? Weird.

Eldonko · 08-30-2005, 02:26 AM

Sigh yup. The BH is alot more stable than the TCC5 though, I have been prime blending for an hour at 245Mhz. I will figure this out, just takes time.

When I flashed to 0702-2 I cleared CMOS with all power from board for 3 hours (even battery). If that CMOS wasnt clear that time it never will be hehe.

Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW
ViewSonic VP231wb
HP 2335

I think I heard the news blurt out recently that prices of LCD screens are expected to drop significantly this fall.

I'm willing to bet it's the board.
