ASUS A8N-SLI premium onboard LAN problems

I suspect this problem is hardware related. The LAN chip on my first a8n sl premium actually cooked itself as soon as i first turned the board on. It smoked up totally leaving a brown and blistered IC on the PCB and a stinking room. Was quite impressive really. The replacement board has been...

advanced database programming

Hi, I've made an Access database for my water sampling work. Now I'm hoping to design a GUI that allows me to manipulate the water samples (records in the database) graphically. Ideally, I want to perform operations on samples by dragging them to different areas (representing stages in...

RESOLUTION DOESN'T SAVE AFTER REBOOT W/APPLE 23" DISPLAY + MSI GEFORCE 6800

hi, I just picked up my23" today. 1920*1200 is nice, isn't it :) Mine is running from an albatron 6800 GT. Winxp sp2. I have mine set up with Nvidia's twinview prog (with a 17" LCD at 1280*960). I do have the same problem not being able to see my bios, but not the one you describe...

Windows update not working? Help!

Hi, I've had a problem with Windows 200 Update ever since installing service pack three. Basically, every time I run it it tells me that there are no updates to download, but I know there are. Anyone know why it's doing this? And how I can fix it? Thanks in advance :) Scott.

PCI problem :/

My cpu just had a close encounter with death :/

Well, it's been a couple of days since the first dice with death and it hasn't happened again. Except for those random spikes in voltage and temperature, CPU temp has remained below 60C, as normal. I have had lots of problems booting up though, with the system stalling before detecting IDE...

My cpu just had a close encounter with death :/

Voltage spikes have been random and up and down in all lines, including vcore. They've been pretty frequent (about once every couple of hours). I had installed a util called speedfan that allow fan speed control, and they seemed to be more frequent when this was running. But it was spiking even...

My cpu just had a close encounter with death :/

Ya, it's definitely not the fan. All fans were humming along nicely. It's about 12 hours later now and after using it all day (I'm in Australia) I've noticed that voltages have been spiking randomly every now and then. Despite being worked pretty hard, the CPU temp hasn't gone back up above...

My cpu just had a close encounter with death :/

Thanks for the idea pillage, but it can't be that....I opened up and touched the HS after I got the warning and the whole unit was BURNING hot. There' was definitely no problem with heat transfer. The problem is heat generation. For some reason my CPU just went into overdrive. Even my alpha...

My cpu just had a close encounter with death :/

Hi, Got up this morning, and as I usually do I switched on my pc. Started up a demo of a game of return to castle wolfenstein that I played yesterday. About 10 minutes into playing the demo I get warning beep from Asus probe: CPU temp at 88C and climbing!!! The graph shows a steady increase in...

Computer freezes when it is starting up

I have been plagued by this problem since setting up my system a few months ago. I think I'm on the verge of an answer, at least for my system. Anyway, this might help you too. For me the startup freeze actually stops if I wait for a few minutes. Rarely does win2k refuse to boot entirely...

Confusing bug...

I've recently put together a new system (Win2k Pro, on a 1.2G tbird on an IWILL KK-266R mobo and 712MB ram) mainly in order to create and edit digital video with my new digicam. I've been relatively happy with its performance in almost anything I throw at it, despite what it's done to my bank...

Computer does not shut down!!!

Out of the blue one day my computer decides to stay on forever... My machine always used to shut itself down just like it should when I would select shut down from the start menu. Now, however, it shuts down windows gives a quick black screen and starts to boot again. To turn the thing off...

Migrating from 1 drive RAID 0 to 2 drive RAID 0

I can understand why you wonder how I can have RAID 0 set up on one drive. I asked myself the same question when I read through my mobo manual and discovered that it is indeed possible with the Iwill KK266-R's on board RAID controller. Of course there's no performance increase with this...

Migrating from 1 drive RAID 0 to 2 drive RAID 0

My KKR266-R system currently runs a single HDD "striped" on RAID 0. Now I've gone and bought a new HDD and want to configure it so I will really be striping between two drives. Here's the catch: I've installed a heap of stuff like Win2k SP 2 over an excruciatingly slow connection...

Good.QUIET HSF for 1G AXIA Tbird?

I've got one of those Zalman flower heatsinks. They're designed specifically to reduce computer noise. The stock 80mm fan has two settings, one of them totally silent. I don't like any fan noise so I run in silent mode most of the time. Temps are very cool in this mode even with my 1.2G AVIA...

Breaking the rules...

:D Anyone think this is a bad idea? I have decided to encourage airflow in my case from top to bottom (ie against natural convective flow). The reason is that my KK266 mobo puts the CPU right up top next to the power supply. You'd think this would be perfect as I should be able to just...

Is my vid card/RAM/burner/HDD etc going to give me trouble at high FSB speeds?

Ok, this is my first go at overclocking. I've recently moved to France and taken the opportunity to buy myself a whole new system, based around the very overclocking freindly AVIA 1.2G C type T-bird on an Iwill KK226-R. I'm willing to push to 1.5G and beyond, if she'll do it. However, once I...
