Where can I find a micro-ATX motherboard that has SLi, I saw one featured on Nvidia's site 'SLi rig of the month' I cant find one at my usual hardware sites, does anyone know where I can find it? I think one manufacturer that made it went bust, and generally looking for it feels like looking for a ghost.

Im currently using the same GPU as before the upgrade, it is not a video freeze as it freezes in any high CPU load including Folding@home with no graphical displays.

Anything that makes the CPU usage go too high will make the system freeze.

The PC is on Stock settings/voltages, I've tried underclocking it and relaxing the memory timings but no success.

I'm running XP, pleanty of free ram.

Fresh install, I re-formatted, no difference.

Tried different HDD, no difference.

Currently waiting for response from Abit, probably be a while

Hi, I just upgraded my computer to the following specs

Abit Fatal1ty FP -IN9
Q6600
1GB DDR
700W PSU
7800GTX

The problem is; everytime I do something CPU stressful, ie, opening a game, folding@home, or even sometimes on in the internets it freezes with no error message or BSOD.

I checked the temperatures, all cores are under 50C, heatsink + fan are fitted properly.

Re-seated all power connections.

Tested another PSU.

all give the same result.

I noticed on SpeedFan the +12V was showing as 6.02V
and in the Bios it shows as 11.8V

but this happens with both PSUs I have. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm currently running Fatal1ty FP - IN9 Q6600 7800GTX 700W PSU 1GB DDR2 Whenever I do anything too CPU stressful, ie running a game or even occasionally when I press a link on firefox or IE the whole system freezes. the motherboard has a 8pin CPU connector and the PSU only has a ATX12V1 4pin connector (which also fits on 4 of the 8 CPU pins) I thought that was the problem so I bought an adaptor, 4pin molex -> 8 pin CPU adapter but still it crashes. I tried upping the voltages on the CPU and RAM but I still get these crashes. I'm basically limited to short sessions of IE and talking to people on MSN, trying not to make it crash. I also tried turning down the FSB and relaxing the RAM memory timings. I've done all the things you should expect me to try, reseating all the power connectors, going back to the original 4pin ATX12V1 and since its a new setup I re-installed windows (XP) I've also tried my other PSU (450W) which was fully competent with my other system and it still freezes in games or anything too stressful. There are no BSOD's to report, it just hangs, if its playing music it sounds like a broken record and nothing moves on the screen, no error messages. any help is appreciated.

I bought an all-in-one watercooling kit last time I upgraded and basically the CPU block has lots of metal attachments to fit all the CPU socket types excluding Socket AM2, you have to take the CPU fan brackets off the motherboard to screw it into the 2 holes at either side of the CPU, now its time to upgrade again and I was wondering is there any way I can still use the same watercooling kit on an AM2 motherboard. I've checked for a replacement attachment for AM2 and there doesnt appear to be one. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
