Thanks Riser, The crap was in the System Volume Information and was my old system restores. Because I had re-installed the folder was inaccessible eevn as the new administrator and appeared to be 0 bytes. Once I changed the permissions it was actually 14Gb of which 8Gb were old restores...

Thanks for the reply but this is a generic machine. I am talking about used drive space which is of the order of 22Gb with fully updated Windows XP, standard programmes such as AVG and Office 2007. As I said Office accounts for 2Gb, other data files another 2Gb and allowing for everything I seem...

I have just reinstalled XP over an old installation. everything works fine but the drive is using about 24Gb for the installation and a few old files According to properties there is: 3Gb in the windows directory 2Gb in program files about another 2 Gb in various other folders I know there...

You don't seem to know an awful about this. If i were you I would get afriend who does know something to help you. Intel fans are not the easiest things to fit if you have never done this before.

Thanx, the worrying thing is that the BIOS also under-reports the temperature It appears that the G0 stepping does run very cool so the temps of 35C may be accurate

Hi everyone, Just installed new G0 q6600 and system booted and works without problem However, Asus PC Probe reports temperature of CPU as 15C while MB is 30 Same problem with Speedfan Core Temp 0.95 reports temps about 34-5 Running Superpi as single thread raises temps to 40 and 20 with...

Probably more so than most of the people who post on the boards LOL :D After 44 hours could be something or nothing see how system goes. we all get random events from time to time

Change the SATA lead see if that helps Try another channel You are almost certainly getting an intermittent/bad connection and if neither of above work sounds like board is faulty

I have P5B and board saw 2 SCSI HDs, 1 SATA and 2 IDE DVDs on first boot without BIOS mod. Are your HDs SATA as there is only 1 IDE channel? The SATA drives should be set to 1st and second channels. Everything should be recognised on default settings so if not then may have a faulty board...

I think my first law of posting applies i.e. The number of idiots posting is generally greater than one. :D It strikes me that Carol knows far more about the subject than anyone who is answering. However, some of the advice is sound: memory speed will make almost no difference to...

No has mentionned the fan. If the fan has come partly adrift you could very well get these symptoms. When cold it would boot but would rapidly shut down as the CPU got hot. Check that the CPU is bedded in properly and the fan properly attached.

I'm not saying that what you are proposing is totally insane but: Apart from a high risk of ruining your processor, what real benefit are you achieving? I' m a medical doctor and if there is another doctor viewing this thread are you also willing to sign the forms. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D...

They are either in the inf file or in a similar text file that comes with the install Good luck this may not work but it's worth a try

In that case you may have missed the point I was making i.e.: You won't be able to do a system restore if Windows can't delete the video driver files to replace the old files. You can't delete the video driver files because the registry is corrupt and this precludes removing the driver using...

Think you may be F***ed One of the truly great things about Windows is that it always knows better and once it has made up its mind it requires really detailed knowledge to circumvent its actions. You are either going to have reinstall or try re-posting to interest a real registry expert...
