My first guess would be to peek into the manual of your motherboard. Those usually describe in quite a detail, which pin on the board has which...
Sounds like a solid machine to me.
could it be that there is some wiring loose or something? Maybe you should open up the case and try to re-plug the data cables... I mean, there...
well, as obvious as it might sound, I think the motherboard's faulty. Giving too much current into the video card or something. Maybe you ought to...
found this forum discussion. The HP spec page isn't all that specific about which revision the PCI-express slot is of... fail. :D
It does. I can say so with confidence, because my Extensa 5220 has this very chip and runs windows 7 like a charm! :D
In several Forum systems (hardware related, anyway) I've seen that there are major vendor icons under the users avatars. That could be...
Maybe you should get a friends computer and hook it up to your Internet connection to see if the computer is actually fault. It may very well be...
It's mainstreamish. Just like mine. I would suggest a better CPU, though (something towards 650 or 665 or something)
offtopic: HardwareHunter, why would you supply a IP address instead of Realtek :D ?
I second what Bobby said. Additionally, I'd like to say that the other parts are way outweighed by the video card. You'll have to get newer...
Yes, well, if they don't start using nano-level transistors, workarounds like these will have to be one of the ways to go.

botalarm! --- Back to the topic: I second everything said. Although, nothing has ever actually fallen (or otherwise cause damage) into a PC that...
I hope I understand the problem correctly... if you run the game at the same resolution that your LCD is native to (namely, 1280X800), then there...
The budget variant would be to buy any case that fits your hardware (if you catch my drift - get the goddamn cheapest one :D ) - better a more...
just to be sure: did you take out the faulty RAM stick?
although windows 7 is great in comparison to vista, it still needs resources. a multicore cpu will improve multitasking greatly and more RAM - 4...
then this PC will be all right. Watching HD movies might get a little laggy, but otherwise, it will suffice.
holy shoot. that'll make i7's look like this: [IMG]
