Hey, so I just cleared one judgment from a local landlord, and now there’s another one hanging over my head... I really want to get this settled, but I’m wondering if it's smarter to just swing by my Chase branch and drop the cash directly into my account to kill it, or if I should deal with the court clerk instead... basically trying to figure out which route is less of a headache. Also, does the bank unfreeze everything immediately once the payment clears, or am I going to be stuck waiting forever before I can actually use my debit card and finally breathe again 😁

thanks for getting back to me, I honestly thought you could 😢 I'm just running this stock crap right now, so I wouldn't try pushing it too hard, maybe just up to 3.5 / 3.6, just so my games run a little smoother... 😁 I actually bumped up the GPU using that software and it’s definitely performing better, you can really feel the difference when I jump into a game, so just one more thing, if I pull the battery out of the Motherboard will everything reset, like the BIOS and all those CPU settings?

So, I'm running an AMD Athlon II X3 455 at 3.3 GHz...
Running on 4GB of DDR2 at 1066MHz in dual channel... yeah, that’s basically what we're working with here...
Just a standard 512 GB SATA II hard drive... nothing to write home about, really...
Motherboard: ASUS M4A78-E (got the original driver CD too)...
So, I've got this Gigabyte HD 5570 with 1GB of DDR3 just sitting here... honestly, it’s the whole bundle if you're interested...
Power supply: 500W...

I've been scrolling through these forums for a bit trying to wrap my head around how to actually test my CPU, but honestly, I'm feeling a little lost... could someone maybe point me toward a solid tutorial specifically for my CPU and motherboard setup? I could really use some guidance here...

I'm trying to get this installed, but the damn thing won't even boot from the disc when I restart my PC, even though the disc is definitely bootable... I already went into the BIOS and set it to boot from the DVD drive first, so I ended up just burning the files while I was still inside Windows since it wouldn't kick off properly, but then it won't let me format the C: drive and it just creates a Windows.old folder instead... so now I'm gonna try a different DVD drive and see if that actually works

Hey, so I just finished installing Windows 7 64-bit after switching over from the 32-bit version, and I’ve got a couple of things bugging me... First off, I can't figure out why I couldn't just boot from the CD like I wanted to, even though my BIOS is set up to prioritize the optical drive, so I ended up having to just run the setup directly from inside Windows to get the install going... Then there's this weird issue where I'm trying to install my motherboard drivers from the original disc—which worked perfectly fine for me every single time in the past—but now it's acting like they don't even exist... My graphics card drivers installed without a hitch and everything seems fine, so I'm wondering if the other drivers actually did install and it's just being glitchy, which might be why I still have this Windows.old folder sitting there... Also, does anyone know if it's actually safe to just delete that folder or should I leave it alone...
