Hi everyone im new here and was hoping if you could help me out with something thats been bugging me for a while now on my system.
when i first built my PC i had;
amd athlon 64 3000+
msi k8t neo-fis2r mobo
1gb ddr 400 ram
2 x 160gb hdd
dvd & dvd-rw
550w psu
then the part i regreted most nvidia fx 5200 128mb agp.
had everything setup nicely and had my bios set on turbo mode - seemed to make a noticable difference. then i decided to stop being cheap and bought a new gfx card, sparkle 6600gt 128mb agp 8x and at the same time i got a new case which has a 350w PSU. ever since that i cant enable turbo mode in my bios, otherwise it just does memory test and stops without detecting devices. i press del to enter bios setup but it just changes the del: bios to go> bios and does nothing else. so i have to clear cmos and start again :(
so my instict is either telling me
a) gfx card stopping motherboard running in turbo
b) psu too puny
which of these would it be likely to be if anyone can help me out. ive rolled my bios back to v1.0 which was used when the turbo mode was fine and the problem is still persisting.
thanks for any help,
Phyre
btw i love this emoticon :ff:
