    @Priyank, Dont worry, 49`c and 40'c are below normal. My PC at ideal is around 50'c at load it goes to 90`c.

    In general, anything less than 95`c is o.k. Test ur temperature at 100% load.

    To achieve 100% load.
    1. Download and start coretemp from http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

    2. Then visit
    http://www.fossiltoys.com/cpuload.html

    and select 100% load and check ur temp in core temp. If it is less than 90 no problem

    @priyank,
    Motherboard price is O.k.
    But Processor price is slightly high. I think it would be around Rs. 9000 now. It was above Rs.10,000 when released.

    Also Core 2 Quad Q8400 is outdated, it is being fully replaced by Core i5 (also quad core) processors.

    Hi Karthik,
    My system’s specification >> Intel Quad Core Q 8200, DG35EC Motherboard, 2X2GB ADATA DDR2 PC 6400 800 Mhz RAM, 500GB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD. My system is 2 years old. Recently, I decided to upgrade it; thus, I upgraded the OS from Windows7 32Bit to Windows7
    64 Bit, bought another 2X2GB RAM of same make & same specification as the MOBO’s capable of supporting 8Gb of RAM. But, after installing the extra 4GB of RAM, system started giving BSOD( with different error codes); at first screen would flash 3/4 times with message “DISPLAY DRIVER INTEL GRAPHIC ACCELARATOR DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS VISTA(R) STOPPED RESPONDING AND SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERED”, and then BSOD with crackling sound. initially, I thought that embedded GFX was not able to handle 8GB of RAM, thus, I borrowed a GFX card ( 9500GT) from a friend and installed it, this time, frequency of BSOD came down but the issue persisted with different message “DISPLAY DRIVER NVIDIA WINDOWS KERNEL MODE DRIVER , VERSION 270.61 STOPPED RESPONDING AND SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERED” I was sure that it’s not a Graphic software or Hardware issue and my system had latest drivers. I performed every possible tweaking ( though MOBO gives limited options) I changed the PSU, swapped HDD but nothing happened. This issue also pops up whenever I run Windows Experience Index ( with 8GB RAM), I did clean installation, tried with different soft wares (presuming that a particular software or codec could be culprit) but no change. My system runs Windows7 64Bit very well, without any issues whatsoever with 4GB RAM. Could you please help me? I am at the fag end of patient.


    Thanks,
    Amit

    @Amit,
    It looks like a chipset problem.
    Clearly both On-Board graphics and Graphics card throws the error.
    Do the following and let me know :

    1) Install all the 8GB
    2) Remove your friends Graphics card
    2) Go to
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+3+Series+Chipset+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+DG35EC

    3) Download all Windows 7 64 bit drivers, 1 BIOS and 4 Drivers (Video, audio, network and chipset)

    4) Install all the 5

    5) restart and test.

    Let me know, if it works

    Hi Karthik,
    I tried your suggestion but no luck. I tried other steps too but yielded no positive result. Besides, I want to mention some weird facts about the motherboard (INTEL DG35EC), two years ago when I bought the Motherboard, I installed Win XP, during drivers(motherboard DVD) installation I noticed that If I put check marks on all the driver at one go, system fails to intall the Realtek Audio driver; one of my friends told me to follow CVAN formula, i.e. after installing OS(XP) first install Chipset driver and restart(even if system doesn't give any such prompt) then Video (graphic) driver and restart, then Audio and restart, then Network and restart. I followed this and I was successful.
    Keeping that fact in mind, I followed the same steps this time. I did clean installation then I installed all four drivers (CVAN) but after upgrading to latest BIOS (ver .118) I found that system was not booting up to the windows, instead it gave BSOD, same thing happened with BIOS ver .117; then I logged on to Intel community blog, upon a suggestion from a blogger, I downgraded the BIOS to ver .113 and system booted up, but issue is still present.

    I think, the issue is with the motherboard, may be my motherboard is faulty or the concerned model (DG35EC) has some design flaw, recently I have notice another minor problem, my room has a tube-light, whenever I switch it on, tube-light flickers ( as usual) and before finally becoming satble my computer screen turns BLACK for split-second, it happens almost every time. At times I also think that BIOS programs are not designed to run 8GB RAM.

    I know that if I contact Intel support centre, shrugging off the responsibility, first thing they will tell me , that this motherboard is not compatible with Windows 7. When, this mobo was released, win 7 was not released but this mobo is Vista compatible, and hardware requirements of vista and windows7 are same; moreover, my system runs windows 7 absolutely fine with 4GB RAM but with 8GB RAM it gives problem. I am fed-up with Intel. In one of your postings you wrote that you always prefer Intel over AMD but the kind of experience I got, I will never buy Intel processor or motherboard.


    Intel website says that they no longer support DG35EC, no further drivers or BIOS updates will be released for the said mobo. But, my motherboard is still under warranty.


    I need your suggestions on the entire matter, if there is any way to fix the issue,please let me know.

    Amit

    Hi Karthik,

    ADATA DDR2 800 Premier 2GB (4 Modules)
    ( all modules are same, and with same ADATA chip)
    Model - AD2U800B2G6-R / DDR2 800(6) 2GX16 U-DIMM

    RAS PROFILE
    6-6-6-18

    *** I tried 5-5-5-15/16/18, but no result, I tested all modules individually with Windows Memory Diagnostics Test (extended test 5 times) all passed, I also tried with ZION RAM(Micron Chip) with similar RAS Profile, still no result, I even tried my system with 1 ZION and 1 ADATA module (total 4GB) system ran smoothly without any glitch.

    Dear Karthik,
    Finally, i got a breakthrough; though, I won't say that the "issue is resolved", rather, it's a compromise! Last night, I changed the C-Ras profile to 5-5-5-15 and reduced the memory speed from 800Mhz to 667Mhz, only then motherboard's able to support 8GB RAM, with no glitch or instability. But, the point is that system speed is reduced. Which spec is better? 4GB RAM with 800Mhz speed, 6-6-6-18 C-Ras or 8GB RAM with 667Mhz speed 5-5-5-15 C-Ras ? Can't I use 8GB RAM at 800Mhz speed ? Please comment....


    Thanks,
    Amit

    @Amit, I googled abt ur problem, it was mentioned that ur mother board even though designed to handle 800 MHz, if u install 8GB it struggles.

    Also if u reduce the speed to 667 MHz as u did, it works but makes the system slow.

    Some said, they downgraded to BIOS 0116 and all is well.

    You can also try.

    @Rahul,

    Ur config is good, but have the below suggestions
    1) For few 100Rs. u can get i5 2500 3.3 GHz
    2) Go for Cooler Master 600 Watt Power Supply (To be on the safer side)

    3) Since ur PC is primarly for games go for HD 6850 - Rs.10,000.
    HD 6770 is OK, but is a medium power card.

    4) Intel i5 2500 and DH67VR is better than the other choice, since this is 2nd generation i5 processor.

    I havent heard abt FSP Saga 2, looks like it is also a low end power supply like Zebronics. ut not sure abt its performance

    For Video editing you need a good CPU and a decent GPU

    http://ckarthik17.blogspot.com/2011/02/best-pc-for-rs50000gaming-pcfeb-2011.html


    1)Replace processor with i7 processor, if possible
    2) GPU, u dont need GTX 560, replace it with a cheaper AMD HD 6770
    3) Also reduce price by going for a cheaper cabinet, speakers and powersupply 'Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600W'

    hello sir ,
    my name is roshan.
    i am in a great need for buying an assembled desktop within the budget from 40000-45000.
    i got to hear that pc component prices are high as the skies,
    but still i am telling u my configuration that i have listed from a local shopkeeper , will be obliged if u advice me in my buying ...

    motherboard=intel h67,(rs 5500)
    processor=intel core i3 2nd gen 2100,(rs 6700)
    memory=transcend 4gb ddr3,(rs 1400)
    hdd=500gb sata,(rs 4600)
    mouse+kbd=logitech combo,(rs 750)
    dvd drive=lite-on dvdrw,(rs 950)
    ups=apc 600va,(rs 1950)
    monitor=samsung 20inch led,(rs 6600)
    psu = cooler master extreme power 550w(rs 4000) or iball sprinter 600w(rs 3000) i am bit confused
    cabinet=cooler master elite 371(rs 2200)
    gpu=asus gtx 560 ti(rs 14450) they are telling that gtx 460 is not available as i previously opted for that

    the total is coming about rs 49100

    so what in your opinion should i do to reduce the price to nearly less then rs 45000 or shall i wait for the pc component prices to go down .
    plz advice me .
    in a eager wait for your reply .
    thank you in advance.

      Roshan,

      1) I dont think the prices will go down soon
      2) U can go for lower graphics card for now and upgrade later
      ex : AMD HD 6770 - Rs.7400
      3) power supply, go for Cooler Master GX 550W - Rs.4k, so that u can upgrade ur graphics card later

      and the cooler master gx 550w is rs.4500 + tax ,

      could you plz tell me the best market price by which i may know the actual cost...

      also sir can you plz tell me which gfx card should i go for later on
      (p.s--wanna play battlefield 3 ,nfs run,etc high end games without lag)
      i think physx enabled(nvidia cards) would be a little better.

      and which brand would be the best (msi,asus,zotac....)

    4. Karthik ChandrarajFebruary 4, 2012 at 11:48 AM

      Now the prices are little higher. so GX 550w for 4.5k is ok, I think.

      Go for GTX 560Ti to play latest games (Any brand is ok)

      In that remove GPU and go for i3 processor, cabinet and power supply mentioned in the other suggestion section.

      It will come around 40k.

      In future u can add a good GPU

      Thanks Karthik,
      the config looks tempting :)
      How bout if i substitute the motherboard with a Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3.?
      is there any advantage in chosing a z68 chipset over a P67..
      i know it may look good on paper, but whats the ground reality? any advance in the onboard Graphics perfomance or overall advantage?

      Delete
    3. Karthik ChandrarajFebruary 11, 2012 at 9:20 AM

      I dont recommend Z68 for PC's around the budget 50k.
      Better go for P67 or H67

      Here is the difference

      P67 - Overclocking features
      H67 - Onboard graphics
      Z68 - Onboard graphics and Overclocking features
