Do you get a yellow ? in your device manager?
I had that issue with my Realtek HD Audio thing.. It showed it as a PCI device (yet it was onboard) with a yellow "?".. I removed it.. rebooted .. it reinstalled it and I was good.
Update!
Got 3DMark to work.. (NO idea how) just started working after memory tests.. But Starcraft during the install it kills my pc.. No idea why... I'm stumped on this.. Anyone ever experienced this?
EDIT: I got SC to install.. I used an external CD Burner.. Sounds like I have a bad...
Alright I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool..
Put it on a CD and rebooted with CD Rom booting first and it ran a few passes on the extended test mode and found zero errors.. Doesnt appear to be memory..
I'm stumped! :(
Will attempt .. Its odd the computer does the memory test on ever bootup.. you would think it wouldn't be having issues like this since it says "OK!" after that before windows loads.. :P
I will update later tonight after happy hour! ;)

I had issues getting my PC up and running but now it seems stable.. Kept it on all last night and today and nothing crashed.. I even downloaded and installed one of Nvidias cool looking 3D programs and checked an option to knock my...
I can answer this possibly..
one of the connectors can break in half.. I believe thats what you need to do to provide power to your motherboard.
Look for one that looks like a 8 pin connector.. 4 on top 4 on bottom.. 2 rows.. and see if you can split that connector.. Thats how my 600W PSU...
I had issues getting my PC up and running but now it seems stable.. Kept it on all last night and today and nothing crashed.. I even downloaded and installed one of Nvidias cool looking 3D programs and checked an option to knock my PC to 85% load and it still ran great for 30 mins before I...
memtest shows my memory okay.. scans it says OK
Cant be a SATA issue since I got farther then the blue screen reformat process and into the XP installation after I reformatted.. I'm baffled!
Going to try disabling my NIC through my bios and try that since it appears to die at the network...
I dunno seems doubtful its this.. Because it happens at the exact same spot at the install every time..
Happened exact same spot in install for my friends XP disc, and exact same spot for my XP Disc.
So I'm almost 100% sure I have a good copy of Windows XP Pro, I havent used the CD and I have the key and sticker still intact, pretty sure no one in the family used it as well.
I currently just finished building a computer with a AMDX2 6000+ on a ECS GeForce6100SM-M
But.. now I'm running...
Good to know.. got my rma number from asus finally.. they juggled me around 5 different places to call till i finally got where I needed >.> and i called tech support 3 times to hear all there answers.. i got 3.. yes 3 completly different answers.. I hope they just give me a new damn mobo
Curious for later when I buy a motherboard what Brand currently has the best tech support?
I currently have an Asus board and I couldnt be any more UNSATISFIED with the utter crap they give me. There help desk to file a case number has been down for over 24 hours and when I called the tech...
Well im ognna go run off and grab a new cmos battery.. asking my father over the phone and hes suspecting that too since its saving 0 of my settings so i guess we shall see.. :(
ill be back :P
Tried new stick of ram.. still showing 49345MB of ram.. and still screwy on the time for my mobo.. think i may have to call asus and rma tommorow (sigh)
i cant set it to 2.7v.. it reverts it back to auto every single timem cause my bios refuses to save anything cause the times all screwed up...
it is stuck on year 2099.. yet.. when i try changing that.. it refuses to change cause it reverts itself back to 2099.. ill try the other stick of ram...
Okay kept 1 stick of memory in (512mb) harddrive keyboard vid card and thats it..
i turned it on.. i went into bios.. its still doing the funky time error where it wont let me change the time as it keeps reverting itself..
also it keeps detecting my memory as 49954mb or something to that...
Aight.. my motherboards on crack.. or something.. Now whenever i go into the BIOS options and im trying to set the date and time.. it resets itself back to 00:00:00 year 2099.. even before i restart.. it just does it soon as i hit enter after putting in February 5th 2005.. and the time right...
Trying this.. its weird.. I got into the BIOS Setup just before you posted this.. but when i got in.. it was all screwy.. my boot priority listed 3 floppys.. and i couldnt change it from that.. even though it detected my cd-rom and harddrive.. when i left it like that.. it read my cd drive but...
never have in my life.. and i cleared the cmos.. and its still coming up like this.. and it wont let me enter the bios setup either.. seems like the keyboard is detected it says so.. but it wont respond to hitting delete f1 or what not.. also.. says "CMOS Checksum Error" during the hardware...
okay it gets past the logo now.. score.. now its saying cpu fan error.. and the fan doesnt power on, yet it was earlier.. so i moved it to the other power fan connector.. and it works.. but is still giving me an error and if i dont set anything in the bios it asks for a password...
also it...
Shall try.. its still stuck on that logo though.. wasnt before.. before it actually went into the screen where it gives u info saying it detects ram and usb controller etc and then asks to hit F1 for bios setup or f2 for default.. and it wont go there.. juist sits at the stupid ASUS logo now
Um now its gotten even weirder.. when i restarted the pc.. the keyboard now isnt responding to enter the cmos settings or even get past that just by hitting 1 key to set standard settings to load windows..
and then i rebooted after that and resetting cmos again cause thats the only way for...
Okay whenever I use my new PC it starts up and if i try to reboot it refuses to restart. I then have to take my pc .. open it up.. and reset the cmos.. then it starts up just fine.. but after setting cmos settings and saving and rebooting.. it doesnt reboot.. fans and everything turn on.. but i...
Okay.. I have a monitor and its been workin fine for my pc stated below in my signature for the past week. I did run into issues sometimes where it wouldnt kick back after it suspended forcing me to reboot.
Then all of a sudden.. i restarted cause my machine froze and the monitor powers on...
Macs OS's in the past were meh.. now there good and clean and actually fun to use
I personally like macs for multimedia (photoshop etc) but when it comes down to software and games.. I use a PC all the way..
Mac Software is so freakign expensive
Well your partly right..
Xbox is better multiplayer.. Xbox live plus no need for a multitap are big pro's compared to sonys (free) service, but once again.. its a "you get what you paid for" type service :P
Xbox Next is out end of 2005.. will be revealed compeltly in E3 this summer...
This thread makes me appreciate living in Dallas Texas.. (plano suburb)
