I can use 1 stick in any slot and get it to post and then boot windows just fine everything functional. When I try to use a 2nd stick, Windows freezes on the loading screen and wont boot. I can get into the BIOS and it recognizes the RAM fine. At first I thought it was just a bad stick, but i returned the set to the store and got a new set..and it still is the same exact problem. Is this a case probably of incompatible RAM? I checked the boards memory list and the sticks were not on it. I am going to try a new brand of RAM on the supported list, but if that doesnt work..is this probably a bad board? Nothing else seems to be a problem. FYI I have played around with trying different slots and combinations and no help. Are you putting them in the right slots? You need to arrange them like: 1010 or 0101 and not 1100 or 0011. Not sure if you already tried that from what you said, or if it would cause a crash, but lots of people put them in like the first two or the second two slots when you need to have them alternating | ||

I actually got the sticks working, and then also tried the working Gskills from my other PC, and I'm still getting random freezes with no bsod, some random bsods other times and a few times black screens. Probably going to have to bring back the motherboard because I don't know what else to think of it could be after all the trial/error i did. | ||

It is my first android device (love it btw) and I'm not really familiar with rooting and installing custom roms, yet. When looking at the site of CM I see a lot of different versions for each different carrier version of the GS4. I've got an i9505 version which isn't from any carrier (just a phone without contract so I could use my old SIM card). Which one do I take? Does it even matter? I think I need this one, though I'm not sure enough to do it: Galaxy S4 (International LTE) I hope someone can help me  Thx!Yep that is the right one, see on the right it says also known as GT-I9505. Make sure to read up on guides before rooting, don't want to brick your expensive new phone. Have fun with CM too | ||

Yes, the das keyboard will be plug&play compatible with your Mac. (And das sells some Mac keycaps if you want accurate key labeling) The windows key and alt key will need to be rebound as "option" and "command" since the orientation is backwards on a Mac, but that is easily done via the keyboard system preferences. (Windows key defaults to command and the alt key defaults to option) | ||

With a shitty cpu and good graphics card, you'll have bad performance on low and ultra settings (see phenom II x4 paired with gtx460 for example) with a great CPU and poor graphics card, you'll have great performance in fights and all the time on low settings, but impaired performance on higher settings during early/midgame - or in the case of just having something like integrated graphics - heavily impaired performance in every way aside from minimum fps | ||

For gf who's not a gamer so she won't need a dedicated graphics card. So far been looking at only at CPU and battery life, any other specs I should be paying attention too? | ||

I'm looking for something that has a 500GB HDD, and 4GB DDR3 RAM. Can anyone provide me a nice suggestion? How about this? http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=77398&vpn=X55U-RH21-CA&manufacture=ASUS | ||

Actually it sounds like it might've just never finished installing. I'd probably just start the process over. | ||

Actually it sounds like it might've just never finished installing. I'd probably just start the process over. Yeah, I tried that literally 10 times. The HDD has been cleaned and reformatted twice, and the memory diagnostic came up with nothing. Now I'm just getting the BOOTMGR error, and I can't boot at all. It won't let me boot from anything, and I'm getting really frustrated. | ||
