XP My Computer + Recycle Bin icon/text resetting to default - why?

for some reason the my computer and recycle bin icons in win XP won't retain the custom icon and text name that i give them anymore -- they reset back to defaults after every reboot or logout. is it perhaps a profiles thing? both times this has happened, it happened after i installed a 5x.xx...

2100+/KX7 doesn't want to cold boot - ideas?

hey all, i won a 2100+ at the AMD event in Raleigh last night (go AMD!) so i came home and tossed it into my KX7, replacing the Tbird 1.4 that i had in before. well, the cpu works for the most part, but the machine only cold boots maybe one out of five tries, and i usually have to clear the...

KX7 works outside case, won't post mounted in case... (?!?)

you know what, i bet that's what the problem is - there are nine or ten spacers in there and i only screwed down to six of them. i should just take out the ones that aren't being used. i guess i'll report back when i see if that works. :)

well, my case has metal standoffs that keep the board from touching the frame (or they're supposed to anyway). i always just screwed the board into those and it didn't seem to have a problem... i'm not sure what i'm doing differently with this board.

ok, i thought my new KX7 and corsair XMS 2700 were bad because they wouldn't post even with just the CPU/memory/video card installed, but on a whim i tried taking the board out of the case and just running the power supply cable over to it... the board is balanced on a cardboard box right now...

KX7/tbird 1.4 won't boot - help?

my 1.4 is definitely locked. it's like some common myth that all of them are unlocked. i've reseated the video card, cpu, and memory multiple times, put the memory in different slots, changed to an older (safer) video card, etc - still the exact same thing. i'm starting to get annoyed.

KX7/tbird 1.4 won't boot - help?

yeah, i thought that might be it, so i put in an old duron 600 that's locked, and i got the same problem. i'm currently trying to boot only with the video card installed - all drives and other devices are disconnected.

T-bird 1.4 (200mhz) in original KT7? help!

T-bird 1.4 (200mhz) in original KT7? help!
