    Intermittent black screens w/ EVGA 6800GS on DFI NF4 ULTRA-D

    Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I'll try Driver Cleaner Pro. I tried moving it to the 2nd PCI-E slot but unfortunately the cable routing from the power supply inside the case (Antec P180) does not allow enough room to install the graphics card in the lower PCI-E slot. It could be done if I...

    Weirdest, strangest goddamn motherboard problem I've ever come across (related to A7V333)

    Makes sense. However I don't think I've received more than 2 paper washers. Guess I'll be paying a visit to the hardware store. Thanks

    Weirdest, strangest goddamn motherboard problem I've ever come across (related to A7V333)

    I got an A7V333 board today. As soon as I opened the box, I checked out the jumpers and I tried testing it out of the case only using the CPU, Fan, power supply, video card and a stick of memory. No problem, system posted. I then connected all my other devices (still on my desk) and tried...

    urgent help needed w/ asus a7v333: "system failed cpu test"

    Well guys, it has been a nightmare story with no happy ending unfortunately.. I brought the card back to the store, and got a replacement. First thing I did was to plug in just the PS, CPU, HSF, memory and speakers. I *think* it posted (had no screen), just my speakers hooked up. I then shut...

    urgent help needed w/ asus a7v333: "system failed cpu test"

    got this board today, tried it with my old T-bird 1.4 and it wouldn't post. I hooked up my speakers to the line out of the onboard sound and got the "system failed cpu test" message. I tried manually setting cpu speed via the jumpers, tried the jumper free setting, cleared out the RTC RAM via...

    Looking for a new monitor, but it seems now is not the right time to get one.

    Hey guys, thanks for your replies.. but I decided that I do not want to spend big bucks on another CRT monitor. So either I'll get something cheap and better than what I have (like a Samsung CRT) as a temporary solution until 16x12 native LCD's become more affordable, or I'll bite the bullet...

    Looking for a new monitor, but it seems now is not the right time to get one.

    I've had my 17" Nec XV17 for 4-5 years now and I'd like to go higher than 1024x768 which I currently can't do (unless I settle for 60Hz which I won't). I really wanna go LCD, but it seems to me that 1280x1024 is awfully lo-res for an 18.1" screen. If I want 1600x1280, then we're looking at a...

    HDD Led on Antec SX830 not functioning..

    Hello.. I'm pretty sure I hooked up the HDD Led wire properly to my Epox 8K7A board, with the 0 pin aligned and all (the power sw, reset and other switches all work). I have 2 hard drives on the first IDE channel. Any ideas?

    Antec SX830 + Epox 8K7A = IDE cable too short for slave CD-RW!

    Kinda sucks having to go mailorder from Canada for an IDE cable:) I guess I'll just have to keep looking around.. but so far all I've seen longer cables, but with the middle connector in the same place as the regular 24" ones.

    Antec SX830 + Epox 8K7A = IDE cable too short for slave CD-RW!

    I have 2 Hard drives + a CD-ROM + a CD-RW. I have hooked up the 2 Hd's master and slave on the primary IDE channel using the ATA 100 cable, and I'd like to hook up the CD-ROM and CD-RW the same way using the regular IDE cable. The problem is that the middle connector on the cable doesn't quite...

    Epox 8K7A drivers CD - worth installing?

    hello, Is it worth installing the drivers that come with the 8K7A ? I'm talking about the AMD Miniport driver, VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Driver, and the HPT370 driver? I installed both WinMe and Win2k and I have no question marks in device manager. Would installing these drivers have an effect on...

    T-bird / HSF / thermal compound installation questions

    Thanks guys, it didn't occur to me that the feet would compress under the springload once the the HSF is installed. Is it crucial to remove the current yellow thermagon "interface material" on the heat sink base with isopropyl or nail polish remover (both of which would require a trip...

    T-bird / HSF / thermal compound installation questions

    Hi, I just received a T-bird 1.33 processor, a Volcano II hsf and the Arctic Silver II thermal compound. I'm a little unclear on what I'm supposed to do, after reading the instructions on arcticsilver.com. They say only this compound should be between the CPU core and the heat sink.. However the...
