Permanent HD activity problem in Win 98 SE

My best guess would be update as many of your system drivers as possible, especially the VIA 4-in-1.

Odd Hard Drive Problems w/ vanishing folders

I've had this happen on three systems, the first a Seagate 2.1 GB drive in a Celeron 266 on a Tyan Tsunami 1846 BX motherboard (Slot only version), again later when the CPU was upgraded to a Pentium II 400. The second was on a customer's system that I don't remember the specs on, but it had a...

MY COMPUTER CAUGHT FIRE!!!

If Doc is still miraculously reading this: 1: I have owned three Intels and one AMD. I currently sell AMD for Workstations because I am happier with the performance of it. I will only use Intel for servers, however, due to their stability and low operating temp. 2: Having said that, I have...

Lite On DVD problem

It sounds like either DOA or a controller card incompatibility to me. Try it in a different system. If symptoms persist, take it back.

Lite On DVD problem

I'll presume the 163 is IDE (not that I know of any Lite-On products that are SCSI...) What other drives to you have on your IDE? Which are Master/Slave, Primary/Secondary? Do you have a CD-capable DOS boot disk? If so, boot to DOS, put a CD in with a text file on it and EDIT the file to...

Bad problem :(

Any Cable-Modem or DSL Modem that connect to a Network Card work just like connecting to a standard LAN. Just like anything else you'd plug into a Network Card. FYI, the techs at nor'east Ohio RoadRunner will actually tell you to NOT install the CD if you're lucky enough to call them before you do.

Tyan S2460 in Single Processor Configuration

I'm trying to help a buddy set up a Tyan 2460 with Thunderbird 1000C's. Unfortunately, one of his 1000c's is in use in his brother's system until at least next month. I set up the board, processor, fan, 512 MB of Registered PC2100 Samsung, and a Creative Labs TNT2 just to bench test it, got a...

Tyan Trinity 400 S1854 and max processor choice?

Never tried the 1GHz, that was right when they came out and none of our customers were that rich. Make sure the heatsink is on well, and be careful not to damage anything you can't afford to replace. Also, make sure that if your version of the board has the Socket/Slot jumper, it's set to...

Tyan Trinity 400 S1854 and max processor choice?

Coming from experience, I built several PIII 933 FC-PGA systems on the S1854, with no problem. Just make sure you have the most up-to-date BIOS and decent memory, and it should be an extremely stable system with average to good performance compared to other systems with the same processor...

Sheriff gave me a ticket for something I didn't do. What can I do?

Common terminology, as per me and my friends: Pigs = Inept / Rude / Egotistical Police Officers White Trash = Urban Rednecks Twitch = My buddy with Tourette's Names aren't the insult, it's the meaning behind them that creates the insult.
