Temps have really bumped up.......

Yes these are idle temps. This is on a reload of my OS as well as the new hardware, so I haven't been able to run any games as yet. I'll post again if it gets way high under load. Yes, I did put the setting in Catalyst up to max for fan speed. I do hear the fans all right, but it's not too...

Temps have really bumped up.......

Since I installed a pair of Sapphire 4800's, temps have gone up some 15-20 C. Currently, MB is 54C, processor is 49C and the boards are 54C and 50C respectively. Question is, are these high enough to cause big problems, or acceptably hot? I've an Antec P180 case with 4 fans plus the fans...

Is SLI enabled?

Well both cards are GeForce 7950 GT's on an ASUS P5Q Delux MB. They were both working fine (I think) and had been in the system for over a year. Recently, I started getting random lockups that got so bad, I couldn't even boot in safe mode. Decided to reload Vista, switching from 64 bit to 32...

Is SLI enabled?

I recently reloaded my rig with Vista Home Premium, noted new nVidia drv's and so used them as well. I noted that both cards are listed in device manager and are working. Bridge is in place across them. However, in nVidia Control Panel, under 3D settings, there's no enable/disable SLI heading...

SATA connections on my P5Q

I'm trying to hook up a sata hd into 1 of the 2 sata connectors, designated SATA E1 and E2, the orange and white connectors near the bottom of the MB. According to the manual, they are Silicon 5723 connections. I can't seem to get bios to recognize the drive. What is it that I'm overlooking...

Repeatedly spont. rebooting

So, I switched out the heatsink fan with another I had and now the temp runs at around 47-50C. Still a bit hot methinks but is this acceptable?

Repeatedly spont. rebooting

I put together a very cheap MB/CPU for my grandaughter. I mean really cheap.......... CPU is running about 76 C which is big time hot I know. But, could this be the reason for having this system constantly spontaneously rebooting itself? It'll do so after about 15-20 minutes or so. A couple...

Spontaneous Reboots

So far, memtest is unremarkable, disabling autorun has no effect, disabling SLI had no effect, upgrading firmware on the Plextor had no effect. Robert

AGP stays at zero

I've got an asus p4p800 deluxe and a ati radeon 9800 pro video card. Checking the system specs, I see that the AGP port is set to zero. Looking at Smartgart, a page in the advanced settings menu of display properties, confirms this. Fast write is disabled as well. When I change this to...

How many devices can I have?

Computer management only lists the 4 HD's. The problem seems to be that only 2 disks on the HPT Raid controller are allowed to show up. Doesn't matter which two, just 2. At boot time all 3 are listed in the HPT conifg utility. BTW, I'm not using them as a raid system, just regular drives...

Installing new HD's in WinXP.....

So how does one install, ie: create partitions and format a new HD when XP is the OS? Is there any way without booting a win98 boot disk and running fdisk? Seems like there should be. Thanks Robert

How to Dual Boot

I'm running Win XP, but would find it advantageous to have a Win 98 drive as well. This is primarily for games, several of which seem to have some problems with XP. Is there a way to create a dual boot system already having XP installed, or do I need to install win98 first? I want them to...

GTXP and Klipsch Promedia Problems

Did those with no joy. Tech support has suggested that if the problem exists on both spkr and headphones, it's probably the rack. So, it's getting RMA'd back and we'll see. Thanks for your input though. BTW, do you use 4 spkr or 4.1? Robert
