i have two once identical dfi motherboards, one needs a fan blowing on the northbridge to work (at least i think that's the reason it's working now) is it possible the northbridge was damaged JUST...

i have an Abit kx7-333r which won't boot after there's been any tampering with the bios, in fact, you don't have to change anything in the bios at all, just "save and exit" and it fails to re-start

maybe a virus, maybe not, whenever i'm connected to the internet lately i can have no problems for a while, then suddenly a page will be unavailable, can't go back, can't go to a new page, all...

the motherboard went back and i got a replacement, worked first time

tried it with one memory stick in, same problem, same suwin error, and the only hardware not part of the mobo itself is the graphics card (i've tried it with a different one, same conclusion

the only cd writing software i have installed is plextools, and i only downloaded that because xp stopped playing ball

i uninstalled it when i uninstalled the drive

still no joy

i have a plextor 121032A which used to work fine, but a few weeks ago the computer had a nervous breakdown and when i got it running again i could no longer write to a cd from windows explorer, it...

yup, i did some hunting and found those very settings, got the floppy to work too, so now i've got a computer with a very buggy installation of xp that doesn't want to re-install :( but i'll get...

still no joy, i even tried switching a cd drive to the same ide line as the hard disk, it would seem this motherboard just isn't happy with optical drives

i've had it set like that most of the attempts and it's come with no option to boot from the cd drives (unless it was going too fast for me to see) it checks both cd drives for a bootable cd and...

i have a xfx-nf24-alh that can see the cd drives connected to it but can't boot from any of them.......it can't see the floppy drive at all (which only bothers me slightly
