Just built a new Athlon 64 and have old hard drive from HP Pavillion that is being replaced. I have the IDE drive from the old HP on IDE Channel 1 and the SATA drive (new with no OS on it) showing on boot screen as being master on Channel 2 (IDE). I guess Windows (XP Home) is seeing the new sata...
Many thanks for the replies. I got a new power supply and will check to see where the 12 volt plug goes. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-K8U with the Uli chipset and I just don't see a plug for the 4 pin plug on the board. Sys fan is plugged in and works with new power supply. All the lights come on...
It's been several years since I've built a new computer and I have several sources of confusion. I have power, but no POST. I checked the Floppy cable, Re-seated all the ram and video card.
I built an Socket 759 based system with a Sempron 64bit using a Gigabyte GA_K8U motherboard. I bought...

Reformatted HD twice due to conflicts with another Security Suite and the associated automatic updates. I kept getting the black screen dead computer after the installs (automatic) rebooted. If you turn off the security features (especially if you have another product...Mcaffee, Norton and...
I setup Mandrake with the boot loader and have it on it's own partition. I let Win XP have the rest of the hard drive when I installed it.
A combination of software errors, a virus and errors removing spyware have left my xp sick enough that it can't restore itself. I've limped along with...
I have a Windows XP Pro and Mandrake Linux dual boot config on my hard drive. I want to blow both of them off the hard drive and start with a clean WinXP install. How do I do the equivalent of "fdisk" so that both OS's are removed or can be written over?
Thanks in advance for your time.

I spent nearly 50 bucks for this game in anxious anticipation of loading on the new pc I built and playing all evening.
I installed, defragged and fired the game up and got a totally black screen. To make a short story longer, I went to Tech Support at the game site and read IN SMALL PRINT that...

Does the 2500 have a 333 bus? And you're using PC2100 instead of PC2700 ram? Can that be a problem?
Yep, the heatsink definitely matters. It's gotta be on right or you're asking for problems.
Also, is your bios set to boot from the cd and is the cd actually bootable (having windows startup...
Please help this ignorant person!
I just loaded my first install of WinXP on a Via system. I at first installed the 4-in1 driver, but then changed to a G-force 4 Mx440 64mb vid card. So, according to the cardmaker's directions, I uninstalled the Via AGP driver. I then ran the autorun on the vid...
Seems I've seen this prob discussed in the past but haven't owned a Via chipset until now....I can't get my Video drivers to work on my new system.
The Nvidia driver instructions say "uninstall all other video drivers, AGP, etc prior to installing the new Nvidia ones".
I put in the Biostar disc...
