I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the ide controller on the motherboard. I had a old maxtor ide controller around and after I put it in and reformated it booted and is still working. Do not know if that is your problem but thought I would mention it.
I have a system that worked fine for years and then all of a sudden will not start. There are no beeps. It simply starts for a second and then shuts off. I have norrowed it down to the motherboard, cpu or memory.
My question is: could a dead cmos battery be the cause. Or in other words...
thanks for the input. i bought it thinking i would run windows 98 on it and use it just to surf the net but unfortunately the version I have is not the second edition and it appears most wireless cards need second edition to function. Since I also had an extra version of xp I decided to try...
I bought an old laptop with and loaded xp on it. It only came with 64 mb of memory. Needless to say it is slow. It is upgradeable to 128 for about $50. Does nayone know if I would see a worthwhile performance increase? I am wondering because even 128 seem low.
If you have a win 98 startup disk, you should be able to boot from it, type fdisk, and then delete the logical drives in the extended partition if you have one, then the extended partition, and then the primary partition. Once this is done you should be good to go.
Does anyone know what the agp and pci multiplyers are when this board is overclocked. Specifically, when do they change to 1/2 for the agp and 1/4 for the pci.
I am pretty sure the blue is the primary. They added the blue when they went from ata 33 to ata 66. The blue requires the 80 pin cable instead of the 40 pin. I am a little fuzzy on the exact number (ie from 33 to 66 and 80 vs 40 but the principle is correct) I would hook up to the hard...
I do not have a recomendation but I would not knock yourself for buying from best buy. They might be a little more expensive then somewhere like newegg but sometimes it is worth it since it is so easy to return it if you do not like it.
I just pickedup this board for cheap at newegg. The instructions say the soft power connector has two wires labled 5vsb and spwr. Normally I see this labled pwr and grnd. Does anyone who has this board know which is the pwr and which is the ground.

One other thing, assuming your 9-10 volts on your 12 volt line is correct, I think it is a sign that your power supply is not adequate. But hear again this is based on things I have read, not experience.
I have read posts that it can damage your components but I really do not know. Also the specs you are seeing are they from the bios or while in windows using monitoring software. I have also seen posts that say the windows numbers are sometimes not correct, the best is to look in the bios...
The 12 volt line should run within 5 percent plus or minus. So that would mean 11.4 to 12.6. This came from an atx specification version 2.1
Table 6. Voltage Tolerances
Voltage Rail Tolerance
+5VDC ± 5 %
-5VDC (if used) ± 10 %
+12VDC ± 5 %
-12VDC ± 10 %
+3.3VDC ± 4 %
+5VSB ± 5 %
on the issue of having to reactivate I am pretty sure they set it so that after a certain time (I think 3 months) you can install whatever you want and it is not a problem. Even within 3 months you can install a certain number of items.
The 12 volt line is not supposed to vary by more than 5 percent. So that would mean 11.4 to 12.6. I have the pp303x in my garage (not using it any more) and it does only put out 10 amps on the 12 volt line. My theory is that it is an older power supply that came out before the piv which draws...
To answer your question on my palm m500 it takes a little time to pull up the memory card. about 2-3 seconds. Once you have the program up it seems to work about the same as the normal memory.
to answer your original question. I have an 845 but it is the original 845. There is a memory setting where you set it at (processor speed/memory speed) 1/1 or 3/4 or something like that. The 1/1 runs the memory at 100 megahertz, the 3/4 runs it at 133. I am not sure if the 845GL has this...
Sounds like you have decided but just wanted to mention one more benefit to keeping only operating related stuff on your c drive. I use drive image and since my c partition has about 2 gig of stuff on it you can restore an image very quickly. Usually it takes about 15 minutes. And it is...
I have tried installing a new motherboard and then letting windows setup the new things a couple of times. It works but there is always some things that do not work right and I always end of doing a clean install. I even tried removing all the old devices in safe mode. It did not work...
41 degrees idle is fine for a 2.4 piv. I have a 1.6 piv (non northwood) and it idles at 42 degrees in the winter and about 45 degrees in the summer. At load it can get as high as 54 degrees. I was also concerned and looked on intels website (it was a while ago so I cannot provide the link)...
I have bought generic ram twice over a 4 year period. both times it ended up being bad. In general generic computer parts are trouble. Hope this helps.
I am not sure this will help, but when I run out of options to try and fix something, I reformat and reinstall windows. If things still do not work, it is a good sign that it is a hardware problem. The fact you installed a game and then things messed up could mean the game messed up windows...
You probably know this but to run dual you need an operating system that supports it. I know windows xp professional does, but windows xp home edition and windows 98 does not. I am unsure about windows 2000. Hope this helps.
Doubt this will help but thought I would mention it. When I was running win 98 I had a similar problem. Drove me nuts for a month or two. I slowly figured out the floppy drive was running every once in a while. I reinstalled windows a number of times and finally figured out it was because I...
It sounds like memory to me also. If you are using generic memory I would be especially suspicious, but even name brand can be bad. In the past I have had bad memory and had trouble. If you get new memory be sure to reformat and reinstall windows. When I had bad memory in the past this was...
I have an original 845 motherboard, asus p4b. (Running sdram) Currently I have a 1.6 piv with the 256 cache. Does anyone know if the new piv will run in this motherboard. I know it supports the northwood core and it would seem I could just run the board at 133. I have pc133 memory so I could...
Bear with me, I assume by under load you mean with a program running. I ran a bench mark and then checked it and it was 11.551, idle it is the 11.67. Would you return it and get a replacement?
I bought this 350 watt power supply last weekend and noticed the hardware monitor shows the 12 volt line putting out 11.67 volts. Is this a problem? Everythings seems to be working fine but later I want to upgrade to a geforce 4 and a faster piv.
Specs
dual boot windows xp and win 98

Twice I have bought generic ram and both times I had trouble with it. Now I only buy name brand but I buy cheap name brand like kingston. It is cheap and if you are not overclocking the ram works well. Hope this helps.
Here is the same pIII slot 1 for $175. never bought from them before, at one time they had a good reseller rating but not sure about them now.

do the low level format as the previous post suggested. It will return the drive to factory condition. then you can fdisk and format, etc. also if the drive is going bad the low level format will let you know.
I am not real familar with the NTFS partition however, if you use the maxtor disk (that came with the drive) to low level format the drive you will be in a postion to start over (the drive will be like it came from the factory). If it is not on the maxtor disk that came with the drive, it is...
