your problem is that your mobo connectors to your case are connected wrong. Look at your manual and the LED, PWR LED, SPKR, HDD LED, RSET SWTCH configurations. you probably got a wire or two crossed. Try flipping them the other way if you've double checked and they are correct. …

It will clear your password, but you must find it an pull it out for at least 30 minutes. Preferably longer like a few hours. You must also have your computer disconnected from any outside power sources, ie wall outlet, battery backup, UPS, etc..

IF you have the money, and you're buying the cpu strictly for gaming, go with the CoreDuo2's from Intel. But, if you want to game on a budget, go with the Athlon64's. With the exception of dual core cpu's (and the XP's), all processors are relatively cheap right now. And …

OK, the no POST beeps indicates CPU failure (almost %100 of the time). That could have been caused by a wide variety of things. BUT, since you indicate you exchanged both MOBO and the CPU for new, identical items, and got the same result again, then I am looking right …

Hello. Thank you for looking. :) I have a MSI board. K7N2 Delta2 Platinum board. I have two (2) 512MB PC3200 sticks of Kingston Value RAM. I also have one (1) 512MB PC3200 Stick of Kingston Value RAM (identical to the dual channel sticks) for a total of 1.25GB of …

You can increase your Virtual Memory. Short of modding a memory stick, that is the only safe and stable way to not only fool your pc, but sort of speed it up. Albeit not much. With RAM being so cheap these days, I dont see why anyone cant scrape up …

FOR BRYCEGORDON'S MOTHER: ***READ*** Your son's computer has no effect whatsoever on your individualized component operation. If you are running things "slower" than what you think they should be running, then it is a problem with your PC. The ONLY way his pc could possibly make your's run slower, is …

Chris, first, please refrain from calling DIMM's "cards" as it is a bit confusing. You could call them sticks, DIMMS, or heck, even modules. But NOT cards. lol OK. WIth that old of a board, I would suggest just throwing a 512MB in there and doing away with the two …

hello everyone and thank you for reading my post. Here is my question lead: I currently have a MSI K8N Neo2 platinum board with 4 slots for dual channel RAM. I Currently have two slots populated with 1GB (2 x 512MB) sticks of RAM. QUESTION: IF i bought a 512MB …

In computer power terms, its where one aspect is much faster than another aspect. Bottlenecks affect microprocessor performance by slowing down the flow of information back and forth from the CPU and the memory. If all of the components of a system are not able to feed the same amount …

hello there. First, I am pretty sure you CPU isn't the problem. When you say "bottlenecking" you'll have to be a tad more specific. Out of curiousity, what core is your CPU? San Diego? Venice? etc. Second, it could be the mix n' match of your RAM. Although all are …

well, I'll give you the very very very basic rundown. Pentium X (Xenon) is pretty much server use. Celeron, stripped down Pentium III and P4. Wanna know more? [url]www.intel.com[/url] you'll find all your answers there. Danyael

Try each stick of RAM independently. IF they all show up as 512MB, then we can go from there. Also, how many RAM slots are on your board? Sometimes, boards with 3 slots use one of the extra slots as a designated Dual Channel slot. [Meaning, TWO identical (brand, timing, …

Hi. Not sure where you work, but your IT guy should be downgraded to a janitor. Even with a bad CPU, your system will STILL power on and all fans will run. You will NOT get any POST beeps. If you are not getting any beeps at all (verify you …

Hi. I bought a new mobo today. It supports 2.5V DDR Ram. The old board I am replacing (A7N8X-E DELUXE which is total ass) required 2.6V. Question: Will using my 2.6V RAM in my new mobo that says it takes 2.5V RAM hurt anything, lock anything up, fry or kill …
