Thugs, PJ and Oldfart.....I agree with what you are saying about the temp and voltage issues. I realize that it could be
just that the board or monitoring software may just be reporting erroneous info. It's kinda confusing though when you
are trying to get everything set up to work properly...
Jiffy, I had 1.55v set in the bios. I raised it in the bios to 1.575v and MBM reports 1.52v with no load....this board does seem to undervolt quite a bit. It's not even overclocked.
Edit: don't even get me started on the temp issues with this thing!
I've got the same thing happening on my IS7....the vcore voltage seems to drop when running prime95 When I set the
the voltage at 1.55 MBM reports 1.48v when running prime95.
Where did you find cpu-z 118c? I have version 118 and no where does it indicate performance mode. After seeing some screens showing this setting.... my cpu-z only shows that ECC is disabled.
About the memory timings and using fast mode or turbo...has anyone tried any of the PC3700 modules? I wonder if this board is way ahead of the currently available ram or is it just a bios revision thats needed?
I think I may have solved my problem.....I guess it was a hardware problem. I had to change some of the bios settings that probably didn't work too well with XP. I was able to play MOHAA for about 2hrs and no lockups or mouse problems. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8SG667 that has a top...
OT What?
When did Sharky get bought out?....I noticed a while ago that that site wasn't really posting very much new info and I quit checking out as often as I used to. I used to enjoy that site alot!
Dunkster, thanks for your reply, I have shut down alot of processes and have configured a hardware profile with minimal processes running.....Check out the link on my initial post it seems to be a pretty good site for xp tweaking.
Daz, I'm using an Intellimouse explorer and I have my suspicions...
Daz, usually what happens is the mouse stops working first. At that point I can still move using the keyboard and carry out actions that are defined by the keyboard. All the mouse functions however just stop functioning. This is common to all the games I mentioned earlier, however MOHAA will...
When there are no games running my cpu use is minimal 0-2%. When the games crash I do hit cntrl-alt-del and the cpu usage does show 100%. At that point the mouse no longer works. I have tried to use keyboard commands to shut down the process (game), but when the process is picked this way and I...
Mike, thanks for your reply. The process using up all the cpu is the game that I'm trying to run.... it shows 99%. What is so unusual about this is that almost all of my games do this... whereas in 98se I never had that problem. I found something similar to this problem on an xp tweak site but...
The problem with java is mainly with the newest sevice pack.....SP1a If you use that service pack there will be no java installed. I have an OEM disk with SP1 and have had no problems with java...so if you do another reinstall in the near future you may want to try to install SP1 instead of SP1a
I have Windows Xp Sp1 installed and am new to using it. I have been experiencing a lockup on several games that used to work fine in Windows98SE. When I bring up the Task Manager, the CPU usage shows 100%. Is this normal or are there some settings that I'm missing when I set up XP? I have...
