Ok, here comes probably the worst question I ever asked :) I have an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe MB, but my question is in general about the so called keyboard wake-up feature. As I understand it, setting the jumpers to that option wakes up your computer when idle for some time, but it does not power...

Okay guys its been a couple of years since my last build. I know after hassling with Asus so much I am wanting to go back to good ol' Abit. I have 400.00 to spend on motherboard/cpu. I definately want Intel. I already have a 9800pro and a hercules gametheater external soundcard so I wont be...

I want to put a new system together with a P4 2.4C and ABIT IS7 board and I was wondering what is the best memory to get. I was looking at Corsair TWINX512-3200C2 2x256MB XMS sticks at 2-3-3-6-T1 for $120. Would this be OK, even if I decide to OC the CPU down the line? If you guys have any...

I bought a gig of corsairs 3700 memory, then i looked at the cas latency to see that it was 3-4-4-8. This is higher then the usual latency then i looked at this http://www.corsairmemory.com/main/products/specs/twinx-3700.pdf where corsair is saying that with more bus you have the higher the...

Sorry for my english. When I turn on PC (MSI KT 3 Ultra (AMI BIOS)) have been 3 POST signals, computer don't turn on, then if several times press RESET button, computer turn on. I check memory with MemTest - everything OK. When computer turned on it works without any problem. What have can be?

k so after years of buying computers from specialty places like gamepc or alienware i decided to save money and build my own. installed everything properly and powered it on. all the fans run fine, all the hard drives spin and the mobo lights come on. however, nothing pops on teh screen. no...

Bios lists xp 1700 as a 1100 athlon automatically configures it as such. My old ecs kzs5a recognized it as an xp 1700. I tried flashing the bios but I cant seem to get the award flash utility to work. My framrates in Return to cstle Wolf have dropped from my old board as if I truly downgraded...

Friend of mine is trying to build a PC for the first time. I'm trying to help him out with it but we've encountered a problem. The computer will power on for a second, fans spin, then it turns off. I had him disconnect everything except for the graphics card and RAM and try to power on, same...

Hi! I have Soltek 75DRV-4 and I have finally understood that 256 Mb PC2100/DDR266 just isn’t enough. Today I use Samsung memory and it works great. Now to the question. What kind of memory can I use with this motherboard? Do I have to buy "Original"-memory? Or can I just buy any 512 MB PC2100...

I'm running two sticks of 256MB Kingston PC2700 ValueRAM (CL 2.5T) on Asus A7N8X Deluxe (installed on DIMM 1 & 3, the black slot and the distal blue slot). In CMOS I set the memory timing value at 2-3-3-6 (I can't achieve 2-2-2-5, the system won't POST). Now the question is, I should be running...

I'm having a really tough time just getting my newly assembled machine to show signs of being powered. I have a BioStar M7VIF and a fairly generic case, 300W PS. I've got all the front connectors properly connected, I know my power cord is good, etc. I have power connected to the mainboard, but...

I have a friend who has an Asus A7M266 and is thinking about upgrading. Where can I find out what processors this motherboard can support. The Asus website appears useless. The only information I could find was that it supports "Supports AMD® Athlon™ / Duron™ 550MHz~1GHz+". You would think...

[I'm new to PC building.......] I'm considering building a 800-1GHz Athlon system. I have very generic needs. I really just want a system that will live for a good long while. (The fact that I'm currently running on a P1 133MHz class system with an overdrive in it is a testament to my simple...

Hello, I have a little over 3 gig of files on a cd and when I put it into my computer I cannot see the files, though the computer says that over 3gig is used on the disc. I tried this cd on three computers and all do the same. I HAD been able to draw on these files but now I can't see them
