Hello,

I have a question regarding spanned volumes in windows server 2003. I have 3 hard drives spanned into 1 big drive. The operating system is installed on a separate hard drive and is not included in the span. If I format the hard drive with the operating system and install windows xp on it ...

What do you think about this board? It's from newegg.com. Are gigabyte motherboards any good? I was also wondering if anyone know what they mean by the chipset, it has the nforce3 and that ite it8712f chip too?

Hello,

I plan on building a new computer very soon and I was wondering if someone could give me some good recommendations on hardware. First of all, I plan on building this computer pretty much around the requirements of half life 2. I read that the nforce 3 pro 150 chipset is good for that game ...

Anyone think know what the best hsf is? I am thinking of getting a new one since this one is obviously not doing the job.

Hi,

I have a program called "Hmonitor and it reads the following:

mainboard: 24.1 C
CPU1: 34.8 C
CPU2: 46.9 C

My voltages are as follows:

+12V= +12.48V
+5V= +4.93V
Core= 1.79V
I/O= 3.44V

This was all while my computer was just idling.

Are these bad? Thanks in advance for your help.

Joebeme2

Ok,

I checked the pci slot #1, and it is empty. I don't think anything is overheating. Do you know where I can buy those fans that you put in the slot? I'm not exactly sure on how to run the ram in a different CAS. Can you guide me on how to do that? Thanks again for the help so far. More ...

Joebeme2

Yes -- I have updated the 4 in 1's. I'll have to look into the heat problem, although I never have had one. I will check the first pci slot card thing along with the cas 2 ram and post tommorow. Thanks for the replies.

Hello,

I am currently experiencing problems with the only 2 games that i play on one of my computers (Warcraft 3 and Command and Conquer: Generals). They both at any given time lock up and force me to go back to windows. I used to play fine on this computer about 1 month ago and then suddenly it ...

Joebeme2

Yes, I was using a windows 98 start up disk. I installed windows 98 for temporary use but, I will download that XP bootdisk and to see if that works. Thanks for everyone's help.

Joebeme2

Last night I tried something different with the boot disk method. I run winnt.exe from the i386 folder of windows xp but, before that i copied the whole cd to my hard drive. When it asked me what folder the i386 contents were in, i pointed it to the hard drive and it still froze in the same spot as ...

Joebeme2

I decided to make a boot disk and fdisk/format since i couldn't figure out how to get to that recovery mode thing. I used the bootdisk to try to install through the i386 way... it copies the first set of files...then when it says it's copying more files it freezes there. I have no idea what could ...

Joebeme2

Yes, I was running a dual boot...98 and xp. What is the recovery console? I tried going into safe mode and i think every option that was in the boot options menu. No matter which one i went to, still got that blue screen with the chkdsk /f before anything loaded up. Thanks.

Joebeme2

Yes, new motherboard but original hard drive and cd. I checked the bios and everything is seen ok. I can't fdisk/format because i have no floppy to get to a dos prompt. The hard drive recognizes that i have xp still installed from my old computer. It tries to load windows but, just before it loads ...

Joebeme2

I got a new power supply. However now when i try to start the computer up, it says disk is corrupted and to insert a system disk. I am currently trying to reinstall windows xp by booting off the cd but, at the blue screen in the windows setup, the bottom says "Windows is starting setup" or something ...

Hello,

800mhz p3
256pc100 ram
2 cd-roms
sound card
geforce 256
ethernet card
250w psu

The parts that are replacing the above consist of:

Joebeme2

Thanks for the replies.

My radeon 8500 runs unreal tournament 2003 pretty well right now. I have an athlon 1.4ghz with 512 mb pc133 ram. I'm just waiting on those new parts to come in.

Joebeme2

Hi,

I just ordered some new parts for my computer... an asus a7v8x motherboard, athlon xp 2200 and samsung 256mb pc2700 ram. My question is... do you think that 256mb will be enough for games like unreal tournament 2003. I plan to upgrade to 512mb in the near future but i just wanted to hear ...

Joebeme2

Can this hack harm the router in any way?

Joe

Joebeme2

I didn't see any smoke but, that burning smell was the same as when it was on fire. I powered on my computer again and its working right now. I lowered my mhz to 1.1ghz instead of 1.4. I dont know why, just thought it might help. Thanks.

Joe

Joebeme2

Well, I finally bought an antec truepower 430. The first day it seemed to be working great. I turned it on this morning and smelled something burning again and shut it off immediatly. What else could be wrong? Could it be overload from all the components? Here is what i have plugged in:

Ati radeon ...

Joebeme2

It's a startech power supply. I picked it up at a local electronics store.

Joebeme2

I opened the case back up, turned the computer on, and i searched for the soure... i could see a flame inside the power supply! What can cause this to occur and how can i prevent this from happening again? I have to wait until friday now to return this power supply and get a new one.

Joe

Joebeme2

I forgot to mention that i did look for burnt items and i couldn't find anything.

Joebeme2

Hi,

Today has marked the worst computer problem i have had. I turned on my computer today and started doing my normal activities (listen to music, chat online, surf web). Suddenly i start to smell something burning, i look down where the computer was and there was tons of grey smoke pouring out the ...

Joebeme2

Thanks for your reply. There are no firewalls on any of the computers. I reset it again and it started working. Thank you for your help.

Joe

Joebeme2

They are both on the same channel and have the same ssid. I don't even think it is a wireless problem anymore now. I think it is just a general problem with my router. When i turn on a pc (All XP), it will be able to obtain all the dhcp information from the router but, then if i try to access the ...

Joebeme2

I was able to fix my wireless problem... i had something unchecked. I think something may be wrong with the router though. I have 3 laptops and 3 desktops in my home. Two desktops are connected directly to the router and there is an uplinked hub in which another desktop connects to in another part ...

Hello,

I just got a new gateway laptop as a gift. The people that bought me this laptop also bought me a linksys befw11s4 wireless router so i can go online almost anywhere in the house. The gateway came with an integrated orinoco mini pci card and i am having a lot of trouble getting it to work ...

Joebeme2

Hi,

I was planning on getting the linksys Befw11s4 wireless router. I am buying a new laptop soon and I was just wondering if it would be possible to buy a non-linksys pcmcia wireless nic and still be able to connect to my linksys wireless router? Thanks.

Joe

Joebeme2

I just wanted to let everyone know that i believe the problem is solved. I replaced the 300W p.s.u. with a 450W p.s.u. and it hasn't restarted randomly again. Thanks to all that helped.

Joe

Joebeme2

Now there is a new twist added to this problem. I just turned my computer off to put in my new wireless keyboard and mouse. When i plugged it in and turned it on i heard the case fans come on and that was it. The cd-rom light flashed for a second but that was it. I had this kind of a problem before ...

Joebeme2

I'm not sure where to find my PSU voltages, but i found this:

Vcore - 1.77
3.3V - 3.42V
5V - 4.88V
12V - 11.64V

Joebeme2

Hello,

I am not running that firewall and I do believe that I am running all the updated drivers. I am at work right now, so i will check it when i get home. Should i try taking out some of those fans out to see if the problem persists? Thanks,

Joe

Joebeme2

Can i just buy a new power supply then with more watts to replace my current one? Thanks.

Joe

Joebeme2

I believe its a Deer 300W UL / CSA ATX Power Supply. I have an amd athlon 1.4 ghz cpu. My temps are usually around 47C. http://www.markonecomputers.com/cases_s ... 6757993698 - thats my case.

Joe

Joebeme2

If it is the power suppy, does anyone know is it possible to buy a new power supply and just replace my current one?

Joebeme2

Well, I did that thing with the registry and it seemed to work for awhile. Now my computer randomly restarts and there is no blue screen. It's like someone is pushing my reset button. I have 4 fans and a pci slot fan as well as all the specs in my first post under this topic. Is it possible that it ...

Joebeme2

It just started recently... like within 2 or 3 weeks ago.
