On power up, the POST comes on and usually hangs after the CPU and memory check. Once or twice, the memory value seemed corrupted and showed a weird first character in place of the "2" of the 256MB value. It even stopped once at the Verifying DMA data pool and sometimes even got to the Windows...
I've had my external USR Sporster modem working w/ my PC's serial port. I switched it over to the serial port of the Barricade and configured the router with ISP access phone number, account #, password, DNS entries, etc. The problem is when I try to dial out, I hear the dialtone but the modem...
Someone a few weeks ago posted in the Hot Deals that SoftwareAndStuff.com was selling a 4spkr sound card for <$15. This was the Artis 738S1 PCI sound card by Jetway (http://www.jetway.com/tw). I went ahead and ordered two. I installed the card and was getting a hard time getting the sound to...
This definitely sucks. Not just one ad when you show up, but the f*&*^%%s keep popping up constantly in the middle of the screen. I can't even read the thread comments anymore. Anyone know of any software that crushes pop-ups?
Yugpatel,
My profile's up. Sorry, I never knew that it wasn't visible. No one has ever said anything about it before. Just got an autoreply for UPS, my memory is supposed to be here on Thursday. Hey by the way, I was in Cape Canaveral for Easter Weekend. Titusville is a hop, skip and a...
ZeRoSKiLL,
You must be lucky. Is it the same type of memory (NEC chips, etc.)? My A7V starts beeping like crazy when I boot up with this stick in there. Doesn't even get to post. I bought this memory to put in a couple Pro 2A systems that I'm setting up. I tried all three sticks in a new...
Well guys, I just received 3 sticks of the stuff Friday. The DIMMS have NEC (has SyncMAX mane and P/N R000318B-7MB2) chips on them. Well, guess what.....My MSI Pro2A won't event post with these memory sticks in them. I switched the memory with some of the other 256MB DIMMS that I had gotten...
Where can I get the latest drivers for the Radeon LE? ATI's website points to another OEM distributor, but no drivers are available. Can I use the standard Radeon 32MB SDR or Radeon 32MB DDR? What do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Michel
Well.....the clip on my FOP 32-1 gave me fits!!!!! The da$# thing kept on flying off the heatsink when I tried to connect it to the socket....Boing!!!! 3 times! I got tired of removing my artic silver and putting a new coat on the CPU. I finally decided to take a pair of pliers and...
PghPooh,
I can't even read voltages because the PS doesn't come on. It doesn't turn on when you plug it in. I know that my other ones come on for a few seconds then power off and you have to press the power switch on the PC to get it to boot up. No, I really think that it's dead. The funny...
I ordered the Highpoint 300W PS from AlliancePC (remember the deal at the Hot Topics forum). I replaced the current PS form the ($29.99) case from AlliancePC (another Hot Topics deal) with the Highpoint. I'm using a MSI Pro2A MB (that I know is working). When I hit the power button, nothing...
Thanks guys. I just ordered a FOP 32-1 cooler from 2cooltek. Comes with the YS..... fan. A lot quieter than the Delta, but a little bit noisier than the Sunon. Thanks again for the recommendations.
I ordered the monitor and pricematech Onvia's price AND the CSR applied the $30 off coupon. I had no problems what so ever with the CSR. Try and get someone else on the phone
haslup/nubomb,
I had something similar happen. After installing VIA 4in1 drivers, my Creative DVD ROM drive couldn't read anything. It would simply hang up and the light on DVD drive would go off and on. When I uninstalled the ATAPI drivers within the 4in1, the drive has worked fine since then.
The first time I returned a pair, they refused to replace them because the cut was caused by a sharp object. Was caused the cut in the air chamber was me running 4 miles back home. Right after that, I bought another Air Intl Triax running shoes and one of the air chambers went flat. Luckily...
Need to get rid of that OEM heatsink, it's like an oven in that case. One of these days I'm going to start using that case like a toaster oven to make my toast in the morning. I need to get the temps WAY down in that case. My 750Mhz T-Bird is cooking! It's registering 65C in that case for...
Yep, got the same problem with my PRO2A. All three standbyes (system, video and HD) cause that blue screeen. I had to select never, never and never. One thing that I did notice is that it was occurring after I installed my video drivers. I tried different versions of my Elsa Erazor X2 and...
I'm looking for an AT MB to use with my 166Mhz pentium (my father-in-law just uses it to his finances here in FL). I tried Overstock and Computer Geeks (had one last week for $17, should have bought it), but nothing now. I believe the MB went out (doesn't POST at all and I replaced the CPU)...
When my system goes into standby, I can no longer can get it to come back up after pressing the space bar. I get somewhat of a dark blue screen and I'm forced to restart my PC. It was working fine until I installed SB Live Value Card. That's when I noticed it doing this. Anybody seen this...
Well, I just uninstalled ATAPI Vendor Support Drivers (i.e., the DMA issue above) and now my DVD ROM works again. Can someone explain to me what these support drivers are and what they do? And why was it causing problems with my DVD ROM drive? I'm really curious and I want to learn more...
OK, I don't think that the viagart.cat was the problem. I insalled VIA's 4.28 drivers and I get the same problem. Anyways, the problem seems to be that my Creative DVD 12X ROM can't run any type of setup program. I tried installing my son's I Spy School Days and the same thing happens. The...
Thanks for the info. One more question...
I removed my Elsa Erazor II and replaced it with the CardExpert GeForce MX and I noticed that the graphics is not nearly as good as the Elsa. And that's just by looking at the desktop, using IE, etc., and not running any games. Text isn't as sharp...
I loaded the VIA 4in1 drivers (Ver 4.26) off of MSI's install disk (K7T Pro2A). I rebooted, then it asked for the location of the viagart.cat file, which I couldn't find, so I skipped it. Windows 98 came up ok. Now, it won't allow me run setup again on the MSI Install disk (to add the other...
I have a CardExpert GEForce MX graphics card and I want to update it with CardExpert's latest Drivers (6.24) but their site is sooooo slow (100kbs download time). Could I use NVidia's latest Detonator drivers (Ver 3) in place of CardExpert. I have Direct X 8.0 on my PC, do the Detonator...
VCore is 1.824. Yes, I'm using the thermal pad that came with the HSF. I've got an ANTEC 830 case with 4 fans (2 intake and 2 exhaust). Still 49C. Hasn't changed.
I'm running a Athlon TBird 900 MHz/ASUS A7V with Taisol CGK742092 HSF.
ASUS Probe shows my temps to be 49C/120/F for the CPU and 30C/86F for the Mobo. Are these good temperatures? I'm not currently running Quake or anything. Just been on the net for a few hours. Thanks
Try Electroseller.com or colorcases.com. Electroseller is cheap. I ordered a color case there for my son. The quality looks ok. I haven't put the components in yet, so I don't know. It comes with an AMD appoved 300W PS. Colorcases has some really neat cases, although they're more expensive.
I ordered an ASUS A7V/TBird 900 w/Taisol hs/fan mobo combo (supersized on the fries) from monarchcomputer.com three months ago. Pretty good price, good shipping ($14) with 3-year CPU warranty. No problems.
I just ordered today from MWave a combo MSI PRO2A/750 TBird w/hs&fan w/ SB Live oem...
Computer Geeks has them for $42.50. They are refurbished. S/H to FL is $25, ouch! But that does include and AMD Athlon in my cart. So, it's probably $20. $62.50 is better than $75 at Saples (includes tax). I bought a pair from them a few months ago and they looked brand new and worked...
Anyone know anything about the UGate 3000/3200 7-port cable/DSL rounter by MaxGate? The 3200 is $179.99 at Buy.com, use a $30 coupon and Maxgate has a $90 rebate for a total of $60 + s/h. Any thoughts on how good this piece of equipment performs?
OK, I was a little confused on the posts. I guess that you were talking about pricematching the Linksys at Amazon. Anyways, here's my question...I currently have an ISP and I may go cable modem sometime in the future. It therefore seems that the SMC cable/DSL router would be the way to go? I...
I've been using the wireless PC cards at work (testing some wearable computer applications) between a portable 233MMX/2MB Video Xybernaut wearable computer and a Dell (~800Mhz) PC. The Xybernaut has a USB camera and we've been streaming video to the Dell using the Microsoft Media Player and...
