Why no Internet access after a couple of hours?

Hi, I have a network of 3 PCs. They're all basically the same (AthlonXP 2200+, P4 2.5, P4 1.7) Windows XP Service Pack 2 with all the latest updates. Zonealarm 5.5, Kaspersky antivirus. After a couple of hours, I can't access any sites any more from either Firefox or IE. But yet, some...

Norcent DVD Divx Player $44

I've played with the Philips extensively, upgraded to the latest firmware and for those that say it plays everything... well, you don't watch very much. 2/3 of the material I have doesn't work on the Philips because of Q-Pel, various codecs, etc. I even bought one for my niece so she...

Norcent DVD Player With DIVX Playback $32.99 AR

The Philips DivX player is a major disappointment. Hopefully the Norcent will handle DivX better. The Philips can barely read anything I throw at it. None of my anime, downloaded movies, etc. I can't wait for a good, cheap player that can do Q-Pel. I know the Norcent can't but it's...

CD-RW/DVDRW drives won't work in DMA mode

Hey! I saw that article before coming to this forum (was searching for an hour on google). I tried it and it didn't help. Maybe I did it wrong. I'll try again soon. Thanks for the help!

CD-RW/DVDRW drives won't work in DMA mode

Yes, I've tried to isolate the drives (either running just the CDRW as master or just the DVDRW as the master). To no avail. *sigh* Thanks for helping!

CD-RW/DVDRW drives won't work in DMA mode

Well, I have 2 HD's daisychained on the primary IDE channel and 2 CDRW/DVDRW drives daisychained on the secondary channel. Should I disconnect the slave HD to connect the CDRW or DVDRW? Thanks for helping!

CD-RW/DVDRW drives won't work in DMA mode

Thanks for replying. Yes, I tried uninstalling the controller and the secondary IDE channel and having the system redetect upon reboot. Still the same problem.

why will system boot lying down and not upright???

Well, I'll try again. I'll remove all MB screws and reattach them because they were tightened. And I'll unplug the PSU from the MB and then reattach...

why will system boot lying down and not upright???

Well, there's only two seated cards: ATi 9600 and the firewire card that came with the Nforce2 MB and both seem to be seated fine (otherwise, it wouldn't boot period?). There's one CPU fan (standard retail AMD HSF + 2200+). It still spins (even when the system is not booting). Even if I...

Okay, I have a question for you guys out there and it's driving me crazy. I have a self-built system that's been running reliably for quite some time (AthlonXP 2200+, Nforce2, ATi 9600). I had a Seagate 80GB drive and decided to add a brand new Maxtor 120GB drive. Well, I took out the drive...

What if I can't get a seal with AMD retail heatsink?

The HSF is aligned properly over the cpu/socket. The clip fits completely with the tab on both sides of the socket. There is an imprint but I think it should be more uniform than it is. The plastic strip was removed.

What if I can't get a seal with AMD retail heatsink?

Hi. I purchased an AMD 2100+ retail with the retail heatsink/fan. Anyway, I placed it on the motherboard with the proper clipping. However, there seems to still be a gap between the heatsink/thermal tape and the die (looking between the hsf and the cpu). I didn't have this problem with my...

Can low CMOS battery affect stability?

Hi. Thanks, everyone, for your help and advice! Very much appreciated. The online store (NewEgg) is already shipping out a new CMOS battery for me. As for the power supply, I will be getting a new one. After reading the FiringSquad article about PSU's, 3.3, 5, 12V stuff, I found out that my...

Can low CMOS battery affect stability?

Hi. I was wondering if a low CMOS battery can affect system stability. I just recently got a motherboard (ECS K7S5A) to go with my new AMD Athlon XP 2100+. I've reset the CMOS via the jumper and I still get two separate error messages for the CMOS. I have a system instability problem...

Northbridge/Southbridge fried? V5 dead?

Thanks, DAPUNISHER & MisterNi for all the help and advice! :D Here's what I ended up doing. I didn't get the Fry's deal. It would've been $108.25 for an ECS mb/2000+ (oem). If I got that inexpensive cooler (with artic silver iii), it would've been $26.33. So the grand total would've been...
