I'm embarking on another build after years of buying off-the-shelf PCs and there are WAY too many options out there now. To put things in perspective you only had an ABIT BX6 or an Asus P2B for high performance back when I was building :)
I'm looking at these two MSI boards in particular and...
This is what you do then it will almost always shutdown quickly. It is only when I leave it open for days at a time and the memory footprint has gotten quite large that it takes a while to shutdown. I'm not sure what it's doing(would love to know) but just notice the behavior.
Show some respect. He was only trying to be helpful.
And if you find a glass desk hard to clean you must be an invalid....it doesnt' get much easier than that.
The problem with a laser detector is that you've already been nailed by time you detect it....but if cops still use radar in your area then this is a good deal.
I'm planning on upgrading my processor and processor only from an Athlon XP2000+ to like a 2400 or so....do I necessarily need to reinstall the OS or will it be okay?? Any instabilities?? Should be just the same as over-clocking a chip right??
I removed the memory and I didn't get any beeps....same thing happens.
The fan does have a yellow RPM wire too.
I'm not sure how long the CPU ran without the fan but the mobo does have shutdown protection if the temp reached a certain point which it did in fact do since it was shutting down...
Well, I do have the mobo. The fan crapped out on this CPU a week ago and that was why the computer just kept shutting off I found out. So I replaced the fan and now the computer will not even boot at all as I wrote in this thread...
I'm sure you guys have read a million of these by now and I did a search on all of them but none of them seem to fit my scenario.
I had a perfectly working computer until my CPU fan crapped out a week ago and then the system would just get too hot then shut down after a few minutes.
I got a...
I thought POS meant "Piece of S...":)
I only have two computers hooked up to it on the LAN.
One is a WinXP box with a Broadcom 5702 10/100/1000MB that is Native to the Abit motherboard.
The other is a Win2000 Laptop with an Intel(R) PRO/100 VE.
Both these computers work fine everywhere...
Yeah, I've tried resetting it and turning it on and off.
And only my network on the router goes down....my actually internet connection is always fine.
It's the weirdest thing....I'm thinking maybe I have a defective router or something.
I just got this Netgear FVS318 Router for my home lan to connect out to my cable modem.
Installation was very simple and straightforward. But every 3 minutes it literally dies for 2 minutes and wipes out my whole LAN with every connection. When I say it dies...the lights on the router are...
Thanks for the quick responces guys.
This is complete BS.....I just got this drive a few months ago....I've been through so many hard-drives these past 3 years its been annoying as hell!!!
At least I'm backing stuff up as we speak and won't lose tons of data....but still, I'm really...
I have two hard-drives in my computer. One of them keep clicking...making this pinging type noise. It just started doing this a few days ago...I'm afraid it will crash. Is this bad or is this normal???
Thanks in advance
My computer makes this crackling noise when I browse menus, move windows, and scroll-bar. My speakers are not near my monitor so it's not that. It happens with both keyboard and mouse so its not either of them.
Anyone know what it could be???
I have an Abit KD-7 with an "Advance Audio 97"...
I had one of those Pinnacle systems TV cards one time. Couldn't get it to work at all with my video card at the time (Diamond Viper 550).
My biggest reservation is an incompatibility with the current video card I might get?? I mean don't the two have to communicate fairly closely over the...
I've always been an Asus/Abit guy and never had any problems with those brands. Has anyone ever used or had any problems with ECS brand motherboards?? Their AMD models in particular???
Thanks in advance,
Ranalli
Do I need a special power supply as in the case of the P4??? I've been looking on the motherboard manufacturers websites and can't find anything regarding that.
Thanks in advance,
Ranalli
I have an older WD 8.4 5400RPM hard-drive and that thing does make this weird clicking noise from time to time. I have no idea why though....sounds like the heads are touching the platters....
I've got this ISA modem from Aopen that has all these jumpers on it to set the com port and interrupt number. My question is, on a default windows installation what interrupts are already taken up. Can you share them? What would be the best one to use? Thanks in advance,
Ranalli
Hey Dug, I think we all know the dealer is not our enemy but he is not our friend either. If you've ever bought a car you would know what I"m talking about either that or you were cluelessly ripped off.
And so what about overhead? Once overhead is established, you sell one, you get one...
Hey that is a pretty good deal. I've seen them for as much as $50 on the east coast. You ever go hike Red Rock? I was in Las Vegas for a vacation and did some rock climbing there. Hey, are there any good computer jobs out there, that aren't gaming related? And how is the social scene out...
DC, if you really knew how dishonest dealers are you would be doing this too. If you think dealers are any bit honest then you have absolutely no idea how much you've been ripped off. I know a lot of their tricks cause my father was one for a while. He made thousands off of ignorant people...
Thats a great price for that monitor. Too bad that monitor sucks though. I'd rather save myself $300 and and get a much tighter dot pitch on a regular CRT monitor and get 21" too. But still a good find though for a flat panel.
What's the difference between Kmart and Kmart B&M? Sorry if this a dumb question but I was at Kmart and did not see any of these deals. thanks in advance,

Hey, TheDude, I was a member over at AGN although I forgot my password and I don't have access to my old email address anymore. Is there another way I can get my password and keep my handle? Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm in need of a little help. I have this computer that just randomly reboots in the middle of things. Its starting to drive me crazy when I'm watching DVDs or using other applications. Anyone ever hear of this happening?
Here are my specs
Abit BX6 motherboard
PII 400
