If you are getting no beeps, no sound, no display, no hard drive lights and no boot up sound from hard drive after using a different psu....your mb has issues. Btw did you try a different monitor?
In Windows XP I was able to move the bottom taskbar to the right side of the screen and use it there on the right side. I can do the same in Windows 7 except in Win XP it would allow be to make the taskbar very skinny....around a half inch or less. But in Windows 7, I have been unable to make it...
My rule for Windows 7RC1 is if it is not broken don't fix it. Vendors are not really up to speed with production drivers for W7 yet. If you want blue screens and crashes than update the non broken drivers.
Hang in a few more months and buy Windows 7. I agree that XP would be a waste of bucks right now unless you can not wait. Overall system is not bad. Nice layout on the motherboard. Copper pipes are great.
Did you check your Computer Properites/ Advance System Settings/Advance/Startup and Recovery/Settings? Does it show more than one OS and does it allow you to change your default OS Boot Up?
I have seen control drivers give those same errors before. Try updating your ide controller drivers or uninstall them and run MS Windows default IDE controller drivers and see if the problem goes away.
They will stay in business. Solid State is the future and they know it. They are just sucking every penney out of there existing tech before releasing and going full stream with SSD's.
Never heard that one before either. Double check your mouse and keyboard connections to ensure they are seated firmly. You might want to do a BIOS upgrade too if you have not done so already. 3.5ghz is pretty good...I could live with that.
Go with an Intel board and Intel CPU if you are looking for better performance. Intel always out performs AMD. Besides, you can get an Intel combo deal for around the same bucks you are planning to spend. Just my two cents!
Had the same thing happen with a customer and I thought it was the PS too. Took the PS up to the local shop and it tested good. I than replaced the motherboard and I was back in business. It is so easy to blame it on the PS first.
UPS are so you can have time to shut down normally or ride out the quicky 1 to 10 sec outages. You really do not need to spend the bucks for an UPS that will last 15 min.s. If the outage looks like it is going to be more than 5 or 10 minutes than shut your system down. You can get away with a...
You will need two monitors hooked up at the same time to see the BIOS bootup. Sometimes this can be resolved by a BIOS update for the board if the vendor makes the need change. At least that is the way it ended up working for my dual monitor system. Had to do a BIOS update to see the boot screen.
Good input wanderer27. Did not think about the system restore point.
I will disable srp first and than re install drivers again. Thanks
again for thinking about that one. I too am tempted to say
operator error.
Been having this strange issue with a customer PC. Audio was not working.
System is a Dell Dimension 3000, Windows XP. So I checked the normal stuff and all
seem normal but no sound. I downloaded the audio driver from Dell
support site, install went find. I than had sound. Life was good...
I done the wood bit before...they worked out OK. Adjustments were a pain.
Premade metal one's are better. You might find some on ebay and put
in a low bid and see what happens.
Sounds like a dead motherboard. Any storms lately? You might try
reseating the memory sticks and clearing the BIOS one more time.
Also try disconnecting any devices accept the hd. Like your DVD or
CD unit.
Stuff like a motherboard going overboard does seem to happen when you least expect it to. The p5k is a decent board but I would suggest you do update the BIOS on it when you get a chance.
This happen to me this week:
Tuesday I came home and my desktop would not boot up. No lights, no sound, no fans, no nothing. I found out about a half hour later from my neighbor that a big loud lightening bolt hit near by our neighborhood. Had my desktop on power backup too. But it was dead...
I agree the realtek hd drivers work better. Also with the realtek you do need to adjust the sound input via their realtek hd audio manager. For me if I had any of these options check I ended up with static and choppy sound....do not check/use these: Noise Supression, Acoustic Echo Cancellation...
Are you getting any disk controller errors or drive errors in your event log? Have you ran dskchk or disk repair on them? It does sound strange for three to go bad all at the same time. Never heard a bad one casuing a good one to go bad. Have you tried updating your disk controller drivers?
I agree better to have more than less. Never heard anyone complaining that
they have too large a PSU. I always believe in having room to grow down the
road. This way I save bucks and don't have to replace something as fast.
Its cheap, strong engine and quiet. The over all performance is solid. Been running
one in a customers PC. He games all the time. Never hear him complain either. So
I guest it a hd worth keeping or using unless you can afford a higher end card.
A great card. Have one in a system of mine. Going strong for about what I think 4 or months now. What a lot of people don't think about is these cards run hot and these need plenty of cool air flow. If you have poor and next to no cool air flow in your case, yes you will most likely see the...
Sounds almost like you just lost a motherboard. I would try to
clear cmos first via battery pin cross via screwdriver. I would
also try replacing the video card too (see it you can borrow a friends)
and try to rule that out.
