Are you using Crucial memory with that? I have read around that there seems to be a problem with the way that board reads the spd of the memory. If you have another memory chip, try it with that or manually set the mem spd's. Just an idea.

I've never used ME so there might be slight variations but this is the basic idea to change your monitor type. Right click on your desktop and select properties. Select the settings tab then hit the advanced button. Select the monitor tab and then the change button. Display list of hardware and the ...

I had this problem with photoshop 6. The Adobe Gamma, which loads during start up of photoshop, did not like my monitor for some reason. I set it to default/plug and play monitor and it worked fine. You might want to give that a try.

I wonder if the truth.com people realized what would happen to their taxes, and everyone elses, if they succeeded in getting everyone to stop smoking. I say we need more smokers so I don't have to pay more taxes. YEAH Sin tax. Besides, it's each persons choice to smoke and it is no mystery what it ...

When I try to enter Sysedit to do a lil tweaking it loads the bogs down so I can't do anything. I bring up the task manager and it says it is using 99% of the cpu. Any clues as to why this is? I have XP Pro.

I just got the epox 8k3a+ mb today and was wondering if anyone knew some good websites that go into detail a bit better about bios settings. Looking for good bios tweaks but also an explanation as to what the do.

When hooking up 2 hd's to 1 IDE cable does it matter if the master is hooked up to the end or the middle? Would you see any performance gain when hooked to a certain one?

Thanks

Hey, got $10 I can borrow? (eyeing that 10 spot on the desk)

Yeah, they are nice, I have a set of the as well and actually had to turn down the bass a hair because they thump so well. My roomies and neighbors were getting a bit annoyed

The DOD 2.0 menus sound like my room is exploding.

GrandFlash13

Thanks, all good ideas.

I was thinking about going with a new mb and ram, just jealous cause my roomie got a gf4 ti4600. Forgot to mention that I have the Logitech z-560's so no need for new speakers.

Thanks all and keep them coming if you have any other ideas. Tips on what brand of mb and ram to ...

My birthday is coming in a couple weeks and my beloved parents are asking me what I would like. Well how could I pass up a chance for a free piece of hardware but what should it be? This is where you all come in. This is what my setup currently is and I would like your opinions on what I should get ...

GrandFlash13

Yeah, I'm not complaining either. My connection actually seems a little faster. I personally don't need to use the activator but my friend did. I'm not sure if he did it wrong or if there was something that they did that was making it so you had to use it, which doesn't seem right to me because I ...

Is there any reason why you would need to install and run this program to connect? Insightbb is what took over for @home in my area. I believe they are part of at@t, not sure though. With my router I can connect with just my account name and obtain IP automatically but I have a friend who can't ...

Nah, I'm not worried about that. I trust and know her....but not him.

I was just curious that if a modem is registered and you move it to another place that is setup for broadband will it still work? Here is the situation.

Hey all,

For some reason my upload is quite slower then it should be. It should be 128kbps but the best I have been able to achieve is about 80. My download is right on target, just my upload is bad. Is there anything I can do to speed it up a bit?

Thanks

If you are looking for sound quality for music, I would go with the Klipsch. The have a much clearer and undistorted low tones and nice clean high tones, even at higher volume levels. If you watch movies then maybe you want the Logitechs. Since you said you don't play alot of games then 4.1 or 2.1 ...

GrandFlash13

Thanks...I have bought from newegg before but for the stuff I was looking at, it was quite a bit cheaper to get it at nutrend. Is there any difference with OEM then with retail, besides what software is included with some hardware. Like, what would be the difference with Windows XP OEM and regular ...

GrandFlash13

Got a few questions on this one.
First off, I have done a little searching around for a website that I can get windows xp and a new mb, processor and memory fairly cheap. Nutrend(nutrend.com) has been the best so far and I was wondering if anybody knew if this was a good website or not or if anyone ...

GrandFlash13

Maybe a shot in the dark, but since you said it happened after you hit the reset button, try disconnecting the resest button from the motherboard. Not sure why it would beep like that if that was the problem, but you never know.

Thanks for the tips, I am really not unhappy with my temps just curious about ways to make it better is all. Also, yes, the a7v133 is an Asus, sorry for not mentioning. I was unaware that they might be misrepresenting the temps, I'm gonna have to look into that. Hopefully if this is true it is ...

I am curious why I can't get my temps as low as some people I see who overclock, have stock cpu fan and a couple case fans. I do not overclock, have the alpha 6045 cpu fan, a fan in the front and on the side bringing air in, an exhast fan in back, on top and a psu with 2 fans. My computer is an ...

Do you know of some good websites to read about wireless broadband? There are alot of rural towns in my area with no broadband coming to them anytime soon and this sounds quite intreresting. I have done a little searching with google, but kind of hard to weed out the good sites.

Thanks

GrandFlash13

I have noticed that as well. In my area they did the switch in a matter of minutes, which amazed me. Ever since then my speeds seem to be better. Maybe I should call and complain

Damn them doing a good job and giving me nothing to complain about.

I was at an old friends last night and talking with some guy. He is wanting to start his own ISP and says he has the means to create a wireless broadband service. He says he has transmitters and repeaters that can broadcast up to 25 miles and has capabilities of reaching 55mbits!!! He says that the ...

Yes I was asking as to whether or not you(fellow board members) leave the power supply plugged in and connected to the mb while working on it. I myself have always unplugged and discharged myself on the case but when I was chatting with this coworker we was telling me you are supposed to leave it ...

I believe he is getting 370kps not 370 Kps if I understand correctly. If that is so, then he would love to have 150Kps. Any way, have you checked your virus scan settings? Might seem silly but I was having a funky problem with my dl speed and it turned out that I just needed to turn of the web scan ...

GrandFlash13

I'm not sure what kind of problem you are having with your audigy but with mine I was able to install all the software and stuff but once I shut it all the way off it would not boot into windows. To solve this problem I ended up moving it to a different pci slot. Worked like a champ after that. Now ...

GrandFlash13

Thanks for the response.

That was my arguement that with current atx motherboards, they still have juice even when "shutdown" and regardless of whether or not you have that third prong for the ground it is more important that you discharge yourself and that you were properly grounded before you ...

Hi all,

When you work on or build a computer(atx standard) do you make sure that you have the power supply plugged into the motherboard and on(not posted) at all times or do you unplug the power supply? Also, why do you do it the way that you do? A coworker and I are having a disagreement on to ...

Just the sg cable tweak. So my maxmtu is at 1500. My rwin is currently set to 64240.

what's a good dl meter so I can monitor it?

Hi all,

When I download, it seems download in bursts. Downloads for a second, pauses for a second then downloads for a second and so on. Bit on the annoying size. I have tried a couple different rwin settings to no avail. I am on @home :rolleyes: cable. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

When I bring up my task manager I have an entry that says "Downloading Software" or "Resuming Download of Software". What the heck is that and how can I get rid of it? I have rebooted my computer many times and it is still there. I see nothing in the start up menu for it. I think it might have ...

No, changed the nic to see if that was the problem. I have tried 10t, 100t, and full duplex on both, left it on auto sense as well and same thing for all settings. The newest stuff, all within a week of each other is another 256 ram and the hard drive. I believe this problem didn't come up until ...

The RWin is not the problem. I have tried every setting possible and nothing seems to change my speed. I have now connected my computer to the T1 line at work and there was no change. There is something in my computer that is limiting it to 600kbps and it is starting to really annoy me. Here is what ...

I am just hoping that is it, just wanted to get some input from others in hopes that someone would say "Did you try this?" and I would say "Of course" then go and try it and it would clear up. I do know that they are changing things over right now and getting ready to launch thier own broadband in ...

GrandFlash13

Yeah, just did that last night.

Thanks for the ideas.

I am behind a router so I pinged both my router and the gateway from my provider, neither showed bad pings. My roommate who is also on the router is having no problems, just me. It acts like there is a cap on my side or something, because no matter where I try to dl something ...
