You can try setting up Outlook Express to retrieve your hotmail for you.

When running the wizard:

My incoming mail server is a [http]
If hotmail isn't already a default (i know it is for 2k/xp) then put in the following url:

Should be all there ...

I've been tinkering around with someone's computer. It's a 750mhz Duron with windows 98. Really cheap and old everything else.

Anyway, here's what's going on.

Within 5 minutes of boot (can always get to windows) the computer always does one of the following:
1)locks up
2)auto shutsdown
3)bsods ...

ATI and Intel (haha just had to throw that in) for me.

154F is 67C. Now you're at 55C. Sounds about right with the fans you're running. A 21 decibal rated fan isn't putting out that many CFMs. I'm right around 57C with an identical setup (4 case fans and a whisper quiet fan on the heatsink) at stock voltage (my board undervolts about .035 too). Any ...

I'd change the mobo man. I'm pretty sure the memory voltage on that board is locked at 2.5volts. 2 memory brands that I've had first hand experience with REQUIRED 2.7 volts to even be stable and pass memtest. Those being GeiL and Mushkin black level II. I'm sure other memory modules are like that ...

|D|Kin6slay3r, I think the memory dividers you are looking for are under "dram frequency" in your bios.

400 = 1:1
320 = 5:4
260 = 3:2

Looks like a mini blimp.

Crimson

Try raising the cpu voltage an increment or 2? Perhaps your board undervolts enough for it to not even be stable at stock speeds.

Not to hijack the thread or anthing, but I have a raptor and it's slow as crap. I can't figure it out, but I must have something wrong or just a bad drive. The drive works and all no problem, it's just slow. So slow that load times for anything on my 900mhz machine, 384mb of ram, 7.2k IDE drive are ...

I had that problem. The culprit was my northbridge fan. It would rev for about a minute after a cold boot then settle back down to its normal operating sound. Overtime, it got worse and worse until the revving would not stop. I took it out and gave it a couple shots of WD-40 and that fixed it. On my ...

Don't forget to put neoprene everywhere too.

You might check under the power management section in the bios and see if there's a power on function setting. Make sure that's set to button only if Gigabyte boards have such an option.

Well, appears one of my sticks of ram (geil golden dragon pc3500) has died. Tried banks 1|3 2|4 and every combination between the two sticks and no post. Then I tried the sticks separately. One booted up no problem. The now known defective stick, got the same beee1, 2, 3, 4, 5eeeep error and would ...

Crimson

My computer isn't posting all the sudden from its shutdown last night. When I try to boot, I'm getting a long continuous 5 second beep that repeats. Any ideas what failed component makes that beep pattern?

Thanks,

9800NP is just a hair more than a 9500P, if you're looking to spend around ~200 for a card might look at spending 20-30 more and get a 9800np. It's worth it. Most 9800NPs can be flashed to a 9800P no problem too.

I have an IC7 here rev 1.0 and a new WD raptor, I read somewhere that I will need at least bio 1.3 for it to recognize the drive. Any ideas how to flash my bios from scratch? (would like to get bios15)

I'm currently paying for 2 different cable subscriptions because my cable company told me it was "impossible" to use a router in my house given the setup of the house and where I wanted to wire to and from. And I don't like the idea and cost of wireless (if it would even work in my house). So, I ...

Hehe, I would love to read that link, but since im under the effect of the error atm (svchost.exe error) it's not allowing me to click that link along with other things.

edit:I downloaded that patch and so far so good. Thanks Immortal!

SATA can transmit 150mb/sec and IDE 66mb or so, isnt the peak hard drive performance like 43 mbs in everyday computing? Only benefit i can see from SATA over IDE is a slightly more convenient cable with a cost. Am I missing something here?

Hi,

I'm building a computer for someone that will serve for real basic stuff like email, word processing, excel, internet browsing, winamp, and light gaming, if any. Also has to be fast and current for years to come. So here is what I was thinking, keeping budget in mind.

You can also install your monitor drivers if you can find them

That fixed it for me

edit: it may not work for all monitors tho, i'm not sure some even come with drivers or have them available on a website etc (im using a viewsonic pf 790), so that prog might be a little lifesaver

I was kinda hoping for a bios fix

circuits and soldering are not my forte

Will i be stuck powering on and rebooting for this cpus lifecycle?

thanks for the article tho

Anyone have any ideas about any delay settings?

There are some timer settings in my bios; i have yet to change them off the 'default' setting because most i've never even heard of.

I dont think my problem is defective hardware or improper installation. Once the cpu boots, it works perfect.

I noticed about a month ago you had a problem where your machine would not boot from shutdown. Heres the exact thread -

I have a weird problem, after i shut my system down for the night or so, it never posts when i boot it up again. When it doens't post (sometimes no beep, sometimes normal beep) all i do is reset it and it posts and boots up fine.

Actually,
If you already have win2k up on your main drive you should be able to format under it

I recently put together a box for a friend using a 1.2ghz tbird, 38 cfm 6800rpm delta sk6 on an asus A7V 133-C. His cpu temp at load is 59 C. That seems a bit high for sk6 temps with the mini jet engine on it (i was expecting 35-40 at load). Anyway, the thermal paste i used was artic silver that i ...

Not to be confused, this is the kt7a not the new kr7a

of course the msi will outperform the kt7a, its got a better chipset, better ram, and in most of the benches, higher clockspeed.
