    System Shutting Down After a Few Seconds

    Thanks, I'll have his dad take a look at the caps to see if he notices anything. I think they have the system's original PSU laying around and I told him to try and swap that out to see if the problem is resolved. The timing might be pretty good. I started to put together a new box for...

    System Shutting Down After a Few Seconds

    My nephew's system is intermittently shutting down a few seconds after he tries to power it up. It first happened about a week ago, then powered up okay and ran until he shut it down. Sounds like it is happening more frequently. This is happening without any POST errors. The problem is he...

    Best place to get XP?

    Mwave had it for $130 for the OEM edition last time I checked. Sometimes DirectDeals has the OEM/Academic version for $100

    USB or Parallel

    OK, got the USB Printer Server. The printer doesn't seem to care one way or another (the printer arrived first and was used as a parallel printer attached directly to her computer for the first 2 days). The setup software for both the printer and server were easy enough. Transferring the...

    USB or Parallel

    Thanks Madthumbs. After reading the manuals on the 2 printer servers, the USB version has more memory, too. So the slight bottleneck coming from a network connection of 100Mbs to the USB speed which they claim is 12Mbs will get overcome. Most of her print jobs are probably smaller than...

    surge protector

    I've bounced around, seem to be using Belkins right now. They have some models that will take a pretty serious jolt. Although we have an APC UPS on my wife's business computer that has been very good. Have the PC, LCD display, router and cable modem plugged into it.

    USB or Parallel

    I finally talked my wife into switching to a laser for her business printing (almost all of it is black). The weapon of choice is the HP 2420D that will be hooked up to the network via a printer server. The printer is both USB and parallel capable. I'm looking at a Netgear mini server to do...

    Will SATA always be so complicated to install?

    The biggest headache that I had was when a makedisk utility misnamed the files Windows needed. Even that was just a momentary WTF, followed by me slapping myself in the forehead. If the issue is people not installing floppies, I can understand that. But if it is difficulty, I'm sorry, they...

    *** Official ASUS A7N8X/Deluxe (nForce2) Thread ***

    My guess is your current BSOD problems are the CPU, not the board version. The 1700+ is a 266/133 clock, so getting 333/166 out of it isn't half bad. Most of what I see on the Asus site indicates what you have should be okay with a 3200+/200 or 3000+/166, so that means the 13x multiplier is...

    setting up raptor

    Good luck. By the way, since you are fairly new on here, if mechBgon says the next step is to throw the system out the window, then gather up and reassemble the pieces, believe him. He knows his stuff.

    setting up raptor

    I'm going to be of limited help since I have not set up an A8V. But here are the basics. The A8V has four SATA ports driven by two different controllers. The specifics of what you will need to do depends on where it is connected. I have set up and used SATA drives in various setups on...

    Question about a RAID 1 Array

    Both mauiblue and loki are right. You can buy any drive you want, equal to or larger than the current drive. It will become the same size as the current drive, though, when you mirror it. With the Promise controller, I think you can simply select "Rebuild Array", it will display the...

    Can't Remove McAffee Virus Scanner, Please Help?

    I suspect that McAfee is still running, which is why you can't remove it. If you are familiar with disabling services (under administrative tools), you need to check that McShield and AVSync Manager are either not present or disabled. Also, in the task manager, make sure there are McAfee...

    Need some help.

    The CD that came with your motherboard has the stuff needed to make the floppy disk required after selecting F6. The directions are usually about as clear as tar, but there may be a readme file in the directory that will help you. When it works, it is extremely simple. mechBgon might be...

    Front Ports

    Looks to me like page 28 of your motherboard manual describes it. I'd suggest plugging the cables marked 1 to the motherboard USB connector pins marked 0, and the cables marked 2 to USB connector pins marked1. Use only one motherboard connection (I'd use F_USB1). Then GND 2 to pin 8...

    Risers, Motherboard, and Tray

    Risers are generally brass, but could be something else. The screws won't be longer than the risers, since they go into the risers, not through them. The riser attaches to the case and the screw goes deep enough to hold the motherboard down on the riser. And amdskip is right, some cases have...

    Glad you like it bjc. From what everyone seemed to be saying, it didn't sound like you could have gone wrong one way or another. I found 3.2 to be plenty, especially since I started looking at these when 2.1 was about the top of the line! Enjoy,

    Does "recertified" = CRAP?

    Refurbs, as long as the manufacturer did the work (as is the case with RMA replacements) are fine. Look at it this way - when you buy a new product, it is very unlikely that any testing was done on that particular unit. It is usually one out of x number that are randomly pulled and tested...

    Page File size?

    Back to the original post that started this brawl, a 2MB minimum size is going to get expanded (and fragmented) shortly after Windows loads. Best to start larger, or just let Windows deal with it. Out of boredom I played around with the minimum setting on a 1GB system and found Windows...

    Configuration for an ULTRA budget computer

    If you are going to upgrade the PSU (good idea), you might as well buy an Antec case wit that PSU already installed. It'll save you a little. You'll have $90 in the case and PSU as it stands, you can get an Antec SLK-2650BQE (if you want black) or the SLK3700AMB (metallic bronze) for $65 at...

    Corsair memory

    Gateway's specs on the original memory in that unit say transfer rates of PC1600 or 2100, so there should be no difference between 2100 or 2700. Gateway themselves sells both 266 and 333 MHz memory for it (obviously you "done good" by buying it elsewhere). But, I go along with Corky...

    *answered*A7N8X-X won't run in dual channel

    I wouldn't call it a marketing screw job. People need to read the spec sheets and manuals that are online before they forge ahead. It is almost always available at the manufacturer's website, so it's not like it is some hidden, proprietary secret. Maybe it's me, but if I am looking at two...

    Need help with IDE and SATA raid boot up order

    Could someone explain why SATA is better than PATA?

    The main reason for RAID 1 is not just a copy, but a copy that will take over on the fly if the "primary" fails. I have my wife set up that way since everything her business does is on the computer. She can't afford to risk losing it, and probably would lose valuable (billable) time if a...

    Why don't passenger jets fly at supersonic speeds?

    24" EIDE Cables
