I have 3gb of ram installed at the moment and im not sure if the orange light is the dram light or not.

Hello all. I'm currently building an lga 775 system. Which processor should I go with? I found a qx6700 for $26 and a q8400 for $11. Which one should I go for, or is there another option that's even better? thanks

So I was thinking about throwing my 120M rad into my old build to give it more life. I tested it in Fallout 4 and it was decent for what it was on air cooling. Would overclocking it yield better fps? Also thought about upgrading to a q9450 as well since it has a bigger cache on it. I could also snag 16GB of RAM for it too

Hey guys, i have a old rig that i built back in 2006.(if i remember correctly...) long story short: it was my main rig from high-school, trough college and university, a few years ago i build a LGA2011 workstation to replace it. the problem is that: My work contract required me to provide all my tools needed from my vehicle, tools, ... including my laptop and my workstation. So for the past 3 years, my good computer has been at the office. and i had to revert back to my old rig for home use. everyday at work i get to spend most of the day on a system that makes it enjoyable to work but when i get back home i have to stay content with my old computer. intriestingly enough, i still get to enjoy gaming on my old rig (if i have some time left, i'm busy trying to finish my engineering degree, managing my wife's company and working full-time as a project manager, i might just add starting another business...). Even tough, gaming will not be the same having tasted the i7-3970X in addition to using it regularly at work. So, i decided that i want to push my old E6750 on the ASUS P5K with it's maxed out 4GB of DDR2 Ram to it's limit. Historically i upgraded some components. Some by choice others by necessity. my old faithful BFG GTX 8800 died 3 days before warranty run out and the store where i got it give me a GTX460 in exchange even tough BFG went bankrupt. i added a ssd and changed my PSU (the old PSU had voltage fluctuations) i'm posting on this forum because i lack of troubleshooting expertise. i'm running in to some issues i can't seem to solve. The first one is: Intermittently: games freeze. i have to control-alt-delete open task manager and close it and it's all good again. other games just crash at that moment. (the GPU hangs in both cases) Rarely i get a BSOD but it still happens. i was suspecting my ram but oddly it might be my CPU. when i set a game on affinity core 0. it does not crash. if i change to core 1 it gets very glitchy/choppy I guess what i'm trying to say: i need to run a full diagnostic and i need a bit of guidance and some YouTube links with instructions. I never had to do any major troubleshooting before.The issues with this system started getting gradually worse and worse. After i get the diag done i would like to OC it to the max. i give my self a 200$ budget to spend on whatever i need to make this rig last another... 3 years? (i think it's reasonable?) i do have some spear parts laying around if need be to do swaps to test them... Anybody interested in helping me out? -Art DxDiag.txt

Hello, I have a very old PC, which is the last PC I built and I have been only using laptops for a few years. A few days ago I decided to take my old PC out and do a fresh Windows 7 install on it, check to see if it works and sell it. Good thing is, it still works. Bad thing is, I don't know who will probably even buy it and if I really won't be able to sell it, what will I do with this perfectly working PC? (that's another dilemma which is irrelevant to this topic) It has the following hardware: Intel Pentium E5300 processor Intel DG31PR motherboard 3GB DDR2 RAM 800MHz 320GB HDD (I think it was dying, but the new Windows 7 probably brought it back to life ) NVIDIA 9500GT graphics card (most probably dead) About the graphics card: I tried plugging in a VGA cable and the PC didn't show any video output, so I removed the graphics card and the motherboard VGA video output works. Now I am not sure if the PCIe slot is faulty or the graphics card. How do I know where is the fault? -
Hi All, My file server is currently a crappy Core2Duo E5200. So I've been looking at what other chips I could throw in there to give it a kick, but I'm seeing some Xeon's on eBay which talk about adapters because of 42nm... Does anyone know what the highest cores & clock I can get for this socket? It's only a little folly so I'd say anything up to like £30-40 on eBay. The ones I'm seeing on eBay are a little confusing when it comes to the sockets, as many say compatible with 775 but they're actually a 771 or something else. https://www.ebay.com/b/Xeon-LGA-775-Computer-Processors/164/bn_650771 Appreciate any opinions y'all can bring.

Hi, I'm looking for a motherboard with two PCI x16 lanes to SLI two GTX660Ti graphic cards. Socket must be LGA775 with support for Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 and four DDR3 slots. Any model fiting that description? Thanks!

I'm looking to upgrade to 8GB of DDR2 memory, and the cheapest options on eBay that I can find are all ECC. My motherboard is a HP OEM board from an xw4400 Workstation (Intel i975X chipset). In the manual, it says configurations of this PC were available with ECC memory. Does that mean that this board would be too? I have a Q6600, which as far as I know supports ECC, so the CPU isn't a problem.

Hello guys, I need some help with my cpu because of the bottleneck my gpu gave! Here's my specs GPU: RX 560 4GB (Biostar) CPU: Intel core 2 quad q8400 2.66mhz RAM: 6GB (Next week 8GB since I ordered extra 4GB DDR2) My GPU is not fully giving its potential since my cpu is so slow and the workload for my cpu is almost 100% at all times while my gpu 50 - 60% sometimes 10% I'm having hard time playing PUBG Lite (45-30 fps) GTA V (45-50 fps) with stuttering, Dota2 with high settings still feels laggy (60 - 45 fps) I'm pretty sure it's a big bottleneck for my cpu since it's slow, and I decided to buy a Xeon E5450 3.0mhz This Xeon is originally a LGA 711 and already modded to fit inside LGA 775 which is my motherboard socket. I need help with this! my motherboard chipset is a nForce 730i I don't have money to buy a new motherboard and a new i5 or i7 cpu's and I can only afford a Xeon processor since it's cheap and I'm really poor. Will this Xeon E5450 work on my motherboard chipset? because I saw a lot of videos they use a Xeon LGA 711 to LGA 775 Also I'm confused about the SLBBM and SLANQ type. Please guys help me out, I'm almost out of money I spended it on my GPU and my friends bought me GTA V and Battlefield 1 just to play with them. I feel bad about myself right now. Here's my discord ID Suba#3476 Here's the link for the Xeon E5450 Item on lazada https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/intel-xeon-e5450-cpu-intel-e5450-processor-quad-core-4-core-30mhz-level2-12m-work-on-lga-775-motherboard-i339434448-s760190277.html?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.6.6e37a8a9y3QUqC&search=1

Issues installing Ubuntu Server 19.04 onto a Q6600 system
elfensky posted a topic in Troubleshooting
I recently got my hands on an old desktop with an intel Q6600 (LGA775 socket, still has a North Bridge) that runs W7Ultimate and am now trying to get Ubuntu Server 19.04 installed onto it. Anyway, when I select the USB stick from the boot menu, it shows a purple ubuntu screen but then goes to a black screen and says: My only previous experiece booting Ubuntu was running the desktop version off a usb stick on laptops, and that worked flawlessly, so I really have no idea what I have to do to try and debug it. Some googling resulted in me trying to disable ACPI (link) using (link), but holding shift during the boot-up does nothing, and it goes to the same black error screen you see above. I've also tried disabling ACPI2.0 support in BIOS but that netted no changes. My hardware: mobo - Asus P5Q-VM cpu - Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad ram - 2x DDR2 2GB of some corsair xms2 disk - SanDisk 120gb SSD

I know that Windows 10 has tons of stuff that perpetually runs in the background, taking up unnecessary amounts of ram and causes random cpu usage spikes. Those are things that really are negligible on modern hardware, such as the Ryzen 7 2700X with 16GB of 3000mhz ram that's its paired with in my main rig but can be detrimental to older hardware that isn't as capable but still very usable, depending on the use case that is. I doubt anyone's still using a core 2 quad to render videos Anyways, my main question is whether its worth going through the trouble of debloating windows 10 to limit how much it takes system resources or if its just better to continue to use windows 7 on older hardware and optimize that. I don't think DX12 will really give any significant performance gains over DX11, especially since the cpu's performance will be the primary limiting factor before the gpu starts becoming an issue. This is just a spare build that'll mainly be used for older games that don't work or have issues on windows 10.

This is strange, I have a GA-P43T-ES3G that works with a E5700 CPU but won’t post with a Q8300 or even a E8500... the machine turns on, power fan, graphics card fan and hard drives spins, and the CPU fan spins (after lagging behind a little bit), then nothing, it cut itself off and restarts... The screen doesn’t even wake up... Swapping the Q8300 out with a previously known good E8500 CPU changes nothing. However, it will cooperate with a E5700 CPU some how... I already tried to update the BIOS, clear the CMOS... is there anything else I can try to do?? (Eg. pin oxidized/dirty?) Thanks! PS: I do know both CPU is on a different stepping compared to E5700... but the mobo should support it after bios A2... I am on A8 now...

A couple of days ago I found this thing at work. And then it turned out that this was one of my colleagues who kept it for some reason not at home, but in a drawer in our office. It looks beautiful, i love that old school PC overclocking vibe. But owner said, that he put it away because he was not very savvy at PC building at a time, so he left one excess mobo standoff while he was installing new motherboard, and it shorted something on it. Also owner told me, that socket may be was reballed(resoldered) or replaced, he bought this mobo in that condition. Also owner told me, that socket may be was reballed(resoldered) or replaced, he bought ith as is. I not seeing any component damage from a short on pcb, but there is clearly marks of soldering work on back side of a socket. The question arises as to how valuable this antiques is for history and whether it makes sense to deal with its diagnosis and possible repairs.

My old Lenovo desktop PC, which intrigued me now, which I found out is an Ideapad K200, needs to be upgraded to make it survive another 10 years. It's built on an LGA 775 socket (which is the main reason I'm asking questions here), with an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 CPU @ 2.2 GHz, 2GB DDR2 RAM, Nvidia Geforce 210. I have attached a CPU-Z datasheet which tells its specifications in detail. I have NEVER ever built a PC till now. So, there's no experience. But I do know that upgrading to an SSD will bump my performance. There are some basic questions that I need to ask. My PC tells me that it's a 32-bit PC but checking on Intel's website it tells me it has a 64-bit instruction set. So what is it? Can I possibly upgrade to a more powerful chip on the same mobo? Is there any available-in-market, top-notch processor (like a Xeon) that I can install? (My own research narrowed down the options though). I can't find what's compatible with my motherboard. Can I install more RAM (or Possibly DDR3) if I upgrade to a 64-bit processor? Power supply needed for the upgrade. OR You want to tell me that I should scrap the system and build a new one. In that case, it will be a budget build. $200-$250 budget. A nice mobo-CPU-cooler-PowerSupply combination suggestion will be needed. Thank you for your time! USER-PC.txt

Hey Guys, Hope everyone is doing fine. I have a computer with gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 lga 775 motherboard with Core 2 duo E6700 with intel stock cooler, which works fine 3 gb ram, but as the cpu is not greatly suitable for everyday tasks i decided to upgrade my CPU to Core 2 quad 9400 i checked motherboard compatibility it is compatible, but when i swapped the CPU the pc started running, all fans running however the screen on monitor is stuck at motherboard post screen, my keyboard and mouse are not working, cannot boot into BIOS i initially thought the issue must be with the ram but they seems to work fine with my old cpu. Did i buy a faulty CPU?? i bought it online with no return policy. I am literally stuck with this situation any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks and regards,

In Linus's last video he said their next project would be "building a 10 year old PC" and seeing how it holds up today. This build is the result of me collecting parts from that era and finally buying an overclocking motherboard. Here are the specs: Motherboard: GA-EP45-UD3L (rev. 1.0) (70 CAD including shipping, came with a E7500 C2D, Intel stock cooler, and 4gb kit of OCZ PC8500 DDR2 ram) Ram: 8gb 4x2gb of Crucial 800mhz sticks (was maybe 15 to 20 dollars per stick) CPU: Q9300 currently at approximately 3.4ghz (was around 12 dollars on ebay) Cooler: Thermaltake Ultra Extreme with a Scythe Slip Stream 120mm fan (already owned) SSD: 128gb Goldenfir SSD I got from Aliexpress (less than 20 CAD) GPU: Asus 7870 Ghz Edition (already owned) PSU: Kratos M1-600W that was cheap on sale(20 to 30 dollars) Case: no case yet I also have a 500gb HDD and a DVD drive that I salvaged from an old thinkcenter (free) and a Lexar 240gb SSD that I picked up on sale from Canada Computers a while back. Additionally, I also have a Q6600 that I bought for 10 dollars off ebay, I ordered an E8400 C2D for 9.99 CAD, and a Q9500 that was 20 USD. So I can swap out the CPU's to overclock and see how they perform. I will post overclocking screenshots in a subsequent post.

I'm working on this computer and the thing randomly freezes and black screens.... I lifted the MBO and found this next to the cpu socket. Is this burn?

Hi guys, I was searching the web and could not find definitive results for my question. I have a GA-N650SLI-DS4L motherboard with a Q6600 in it. I thought of buying a GTX 1050 for it. It should be compatible. Any thoughts or tips? Thanks in advanced.

Hi so I bought second hand parts online for a cheap little LGA775 system to plug into the tv for movies etc. All the parts i bought had been tested by the seller but obviously thats not to say the parts are duds. I bought: -Intel E5200 -Asus P5KPL-CM -Hynix DDR2-667 1gb x2 (2GB Total) For the boot drive i'm using the SSD from my old system which is a Samsung EVO 840. This has my old windows 10 operating system on it. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Issue: When i boot up i get the asus logo etc and the American Megatrends with all the options to flash bios, use default settings and continue to boot If i continue booting with default settings it goes to a black screen with the message that it can't find my SSD So i reset and went into the bios and checked boot priority and the SSD was number 2. In the 1st option was a floppy drive. Not sure why because there isn't one plugged in. I swapped the SSD to 1st and disabled the floppy drive. Also showing was a CD-Rom drive thats not plugged in. Weird. pressed F10 to save and exit. As soon as i do this the screen goes grey and does nothing further. no key response, makes me hard reset to try again. I even left it for an hour just to be sure it wasn't just being super slow. If i exit without saving I get the alternative blank blue screen. When I try for a second time to go into the BIOS none of the changes have been saved, the SSD is back in priority 2 and Floppy Drive in 1. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Things I've tried: -Reseting Bios to default settings -Updating the Bios using Asus EZ-Flash and latest ASUS Bios Updates -Using one stick of ram. Swapping Ram Slots, trying the other stick of ram on its own in each slot. -Checking BIOS does detect all the RAM, the CPU and SSD -Moved the SSD to each of the 4 sat ports, also using a different SATA cable -Checking is the Mobo can see different HDD in all four SATA ports -Removing the CMOS battery Any Ideas?

I am just wondering if anyone has ever overclocked a CPU on this board before and if there is more than just a .15 increase. As of right now I have overclocked my xeon x5460 from 3.16ghz to 3.31ghz but I feel as though I can overclock it more I just don't know what I am doing. I looked for threads and other forums but nothing with this specific board and especially not with xeons. My specs are as follows: CPU: Xeon x5460 GPU: GTX 970 4GB RAM: 2 x 4GB G.SKILL DDR2 800 PSU: 700B EVGA Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Thank you so much, I understand that this is an old board and I super old CPU but I just want to push it to the limit.
