I know 2 will work but I do not know about 1 - it might be dependent on the MoBo

Okay, if you have checked out all the different function keys to make sure they are set as they should be, we might look at screen itself (see first image) - does anything look/feel wrong about how...

Congrats! Does 20/20 hindsight allow you to go back through the dumps and find the cause? I searched through them but my limited knowledge gives me no insights.

No one explains it but I see lots of references to the 's' and when I google w/o the 's' I get a different set of results.

I can't see what the difference is, sorry.

Way to go - hope that is it! Let us know

Here are a couple links to memory finders:

I hope this helps

Have you checked for resource conflicts? It seems that if you are banging the hardware a lot and get re-boots, that might be a place to start.

Can you let us know what your hardware set up is?...

Well, it depends on what needs repair.

There is no repair for bullet holes, most fires, breaking it into pieces is pretty bad too. Most repairs that actually work include plugging it in; removing...

Hey, good luck - have you looked here (http://repair4laptop.org/)?

I am so embarrassed! Shortly after I wrote that, I pulled an hd out of one of my old computers to get some data from it and the cable was very clearly labeled 'Master' on the end and slave in the...

I am going to guess that the 'expert' you hired screwed the data up somehow - you saw how easy it was to do WHY COULDN'T THAT SUPPOSED EXPERT DO IT?!

I am glad everything turned out for the best.

There are usually 2 IDE connections on the motherboard; one cable connected to the motherboare can handle 2 hard drive - 1 master, 1 Slave - the slave being the farthest out from the MB connector. ...

Depending on the HD, there should be no problem. Once you have the HD in your hand, you can remove the adapter revealing the standard connector which you can attach to any of your computers via the...

Tom, go here (http://www.upgradememory.com/configurator_1.cfm), they will walk you through the process of finding the correct memory. Once you know what you need, then you can shop anywhere.

The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits is 0 through 4,294,967,295 or −2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647 using two's complement encoding. Hence, a processor with 32-bit memory...

Sorry about the above copy and paste error, I was watching a PBS special on the climbers who died on Everest and I misread GHz as memory, sigh

Don't forget that 32 bit machines do not support more than 3.2 gigs of mem. I recommend buying a matched set of 1 gig and a set of half gigs -- it is not worth paying for 4 gigs if can only use 3.2....

Unfortunately, 32 bit machines can only handle up to 3 gigs of mem. <approximately> Oh, well.

Wow, you mean you actually read that - congrats.

Yes! I, too, demand some truth in thread naming.

Sad story, editing sux.

And, you might have to update in pairs (all things old are new again) - I have an ASUS A8V and once I filled slots 1 and 3 (ie A1 & B1) I had to fill 2 and 4 - filling slot 2 alone would not be...

With a laptop, I think that the only things you can do to improve performance is add that extra gig of memory and get a faster hd. The only games I play on my laptop are turn-based squad games like...

Maximize your system to do what? gaming? audio? graphics? video? W/o that info, I suggest that you buy as much memory as you can afford - 1 gig of memory is only good enough for bare bones editing.

I just dl-ed mbm 5 and I am puzzled/worried by some of the readings I get. The reason I got it was cuz my Asus probe made a dramatic shift in cpu temp. It was running at 28 C -cpu and 22 C -Mobo then...

40 nm difference in distance for electrons to travel (an odd sort of historical example is the first supercomputer CRAY was built like the cooling tower of a nuclear power plant so that the wires...

We probably need a more complete idea of your setup. I would definitely think about your psu - a lot of people put together a really good system and just take the cheapo psu that comes with the case....

Check out the Zalman quiet cpu cooler - fan sits inside the radiator fins - it is about a pound of copper/aluminm. Also, I don't think it is a good idea to have more air blowing into the machine than...

I have the Asus A8V Deluxe w the a64 3200+ 939 - I really like it but it was a pain to get up and running - it came with a bios chip v1008 and needed a bios version v1009. Once I put the upgraded...

actually I just used glasses cleaner and a t-shirt and it cleaned up pretty nicely - went over the cpu a couple times with a dry t-shirt just to polish it up a bit

You probably could use drinkable alcohol but wipe some on glass first to see if it leaves any deposit behind after it dries -- if it does, don't use it.

I ended up getting the agp 8x just because it was easier; I got an ASUS A8V deluxe mobo with the a64 3200+ 939 cpu which, oddly enough has 2 versions. One version requires an ASUS bios v.1008 and one...

You know, while I was troubleshooting my mobo problems, I decided to add the washers to see if that was the problem - I placed them between the case and the standoff - that should be as good and a...

I am keying this on an old Celeron2 300mh - I overclocked it to 450 mh in 98 and it is still running fine (I do keep the case cover off now and take it outside to give it a b.j. with one of the cans...

I am building my 2nd kit (built 1st one in 99 - still going strong but it won't run either Deus X2 or 1/2Life2 so...).
My first question:
is it worth $100 to buy the cpu/MoBo/memory...
