Yes, in many instances where two slots are on colour and the third slot another, it will be because two specific slots need to be used either for dual-channel configuration or for using modules of different sizes together.

The quickest and best way to fix the problem you have is to cease using Internet Explorer and install a tab-based browser instead. Firefox or Mozilla allow you to have different pages open in Window tabs, to save all tabs as a group, and to open groups of tabs with …

In other words, Toulinwoek, you are saying that it's better to make a drive image and then afterwards reload your entire system from it every month or so, on an ongoing basis, than it is to install necessary security updates. You're also saying that precautionary measures are better to use …

You've mentioned 512Mb of RAM. Is that 2 x 256Mb modules? If so are they the same brand or different modules?

Should be as normal. The quickest way to confirm it, of course, is to plug it in and see if BIOS sees the drive. If it doesn't and can see it when the connector is reversed, then you have it successfully worked out! :D

err... John, are you using Windows XP? What exactly is the name of the 'hardware/software firewall' you are using? Please indicate if you have both, the name of the software firewall program and the make/model of the hardware firewall. This is not a motherboard issue, and I'll move it to …

Did you first properly uninstall the drivers for the previous card?

That doesn't appear to be correctly reading your system. Are there any other monitoring tools installed?

A few things actually. I reckon it's not gonna be very useful ;)

Voted AMD. For my reasoning see my comments in your other topic [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread23926.html[/url]

Alternatively, if you are unable to write CDs on tha laptop at all, hook it up to someone else's system via a network cable, copy the files across to that system and put them on CD from there.

Actually, the best solution is this: 1. Always choose to perform a CUSTOM or ADVANCED installation of a new program. Stepping through the installation will allow you to make choices about the settings for the program, and one of those choices will almost certainly be whether or not you want …

If you are online frequently you should regularly clean your PC with antivirus and with spyware/malware detection and removal tools. You should also use 'disk cleanup' at least monthly, to remove the debris and unecessary files which accumulate on your PC, but that's regardless of whether you're online or not. …

Hiya Mike, and welcome to Daniweb. I'm Terry, a still-working grandparent who rediscovered PCs about 5 years ago, learnt everything he knows about them from online sources such as this, and who now makes a living writing 'expert' comment about them :) Please feel free to familiarise yourself with the …

Best card to get in that broad price range, by far, is the 6600GT. It's a little more expensive than the X600 but a LOT more powerful! If absolute performance is the objective and price is no matter then the X850 cards from ATi are the card of choice. But …

If you use a partition management tool to free up some drive space and create a FAT32 partition on it for the Windows 98 install, you can just add 98 by following the procedures described here: [url]http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/web/E6D96526AF2C872BCA256DD700280269[/url]

Which version of Nortom System Works? There are two removal tools, and I'm not sure that SymNRT is the correct one for you to use. Full details of the product, please?

Could you indicate precisely what you mean by 'did a recovery'? There are numerous procedures which people might describe in that way.

Oh wow! Windows Update is not a place to look for driver updates if you have a gaming PC. The graphics processor website and the reference drivers for the card is where it's at: [url]www.ati.com[/url] [url]www.nvidia.com[/url] I'd be opening that PC case and checking that the fan on the video …

Has that CPU fan got a label stuck over the spindle on top? Try carefully peeling back the label and applying a drop of oil (sewing machine oil is best) to the centre spindle, which you'll see under the label. If the bearing is starting to dry out that'll fix …

Hiya Susan. I suspect that the little battery in that PC is dead, and it can no longer retain the information about what the bits and pieces in it are! I'd suggest you drop it into a PC store for their technicians to check it, replace the battery if necessary, …

Hiya susan, There's one thing you're doing that's very, very wrong! Using capitalisation for every word makes your comments very hard to read, and will cause many people to ignore what you say.

errmmmmmm.......... Perhaps you should look at the date the thread was created. This topic has been 'dead' for 18 months or more! I hardly think Christina is going to still be trying to update that BIOS! Please don't revive old, dead topics for no useful purpose.

That'd be my guess as well. Reloading both the motherboard chipset drivers and the display drivers seems to be in order.

[QUOTE]Bitorrent can be and is used for legitimate file distribution as well as for piracy. some musical artists etc distribute their product ONLY via Bitorrent.

Good temps, those. I'd use the slower fans at front, as intake fans. I'd also use a decent fan as intake on the side panel. Rear and top locations are for exhaust.

[QUOTE]Yeah AMD is the best for gaming but mostly not in other usage. If you use your PC for games most of the time you might want to buy from AMD.[/QUOTE] That's not a very good indication of relative uses. The AMD64 chips outperform Intel processors of equivalent model in …

You need to watch the screen during bootup and press a key when prompted to boot from CD.

Both Socket 754 and Socket 939 motherboards use DDR RAM. That's not a difference at all. Socket 939 motherboards use more advanced chipsets than Socket 754, and would suit the tasks you wish to perform better, if you plan to build an Athlon64 system.

Hi harindad, and welcome to Daniweb. If you read the stickied 'Welcome' topic in the Introductions section you'll find out more about posting here.

err... uumm.... You should be able to log in to Hotmail and to visit your previous homepage using Mozilla. In fact, if you installed Mozilla correctly the 'Favourites' should have been retained in your Bookmarks list.

Rthlss, this is an old topic which has dropped down the list because it is now quite dated in the information it provides. Please don't revive suvch old topics unless there is specifically something relevent to add to them.

That sounds like it may be a hardware issue other than a hard drive one. If it was simply a failed hard drive the system would still POST, but most likely get stuck at the 'Operating system not found' stage. Might be an idea to get the system checked by …

Hi punky. What is the make and model of your motherboard please? I recently had the same thing happen when trying to install a GeForce4 Ti4200 card in a system to replace the onboard video for a friend. Turned out that the BIOS needed to be updated before the card …

Got Spybot Search & Destroy installed? Tea timer is Spybot's monitoring utility.

This is, as Alex has implied, most likely a conflict created by installed software. A CD burning program is probably telling Windows that the drive is in use. Uninstalling/reinstalling the software should correct the situation. If multiple burning programs are being used, or an incompatible program, you may need to …

That is, of course, if the 'OS CD' is actually a Windows CD and not something else. I'd not heard of regular Windows CDs being distributed with HP PCs.
