Yo. I just got a 60 gig harddrive (Western Digital OEM) and cannot partition it. Partition Magic errors out. Fdisk I dont think can rebognize 60 gigs. I cant use EZ-Install since I have windows 2000. So if anybody knows of a good way to do this, please tell me! Thanks.

All the devices show up fine. The sound card works fine. Its just that nothing happens when a midi device is hooked up to the joy port. Midi programs do not detect any midi inputs.

What is the fastest CPU that can run on the 8k7a? I'm not sure what rev. I have. Epox.com recommends up to the 1900+ i believe. Why not 2000 or 2100? thanks.

The built in joystick port on my 8k7a does not recognize when a midi device is connected. Its that built in soundcard deal, AC97? Any ideas anyone? thanks.

Hi, I just got a new harddrive (maxtor 80gigger) and I have been desperately trying (in vain) to install win2k on it. I have had this exact same version/copy running fine on my western digital drive for years. Here what breaks. It will install, everythings fine for about 2-5 days, when all of...

thanks for the replies but i know these things. i wanna know what happens when voltages drop? whats a sign? what are the consequences? i realize it affects the cpu and other things, but what happens as a result? the same things that happen when your over-overclock your cpu? how about hardware...

I have yet to find on the web or forums, what exactly are the effects of a power supply thats too weak with Athlon boards (8k7a). My 8k7a gets its juice from an enhance 300W and i cant overclock hardly at all. So, one last time, what can happen when your PSU SUCKS? can harddrives act up? (i got...

oh maaaan. anandtech has already been veering off from what made it dope: pc hardware. now its gonna fly all the way to the other side with software? i remember when i used to read EVERY article.

you water cooled your geforce 2 pro? good lord...

When the CDROM is in the boot sequence, what is going on exactly? What makes a CDROM bootable, exactly? Where does the system get the drivers to even access the CDROM? What steps does the BIOS take when boot from cd is enabled? thanks.

I tried motherboard monitor, it wont work (no temps). I tried the winbond thing that comes with the 8k7a, says "motherboard IC not found" or something like that. I think my voltages are low or something, thats why i need to monitor. What exactly happens when voltages are low? my 1.4 runs fine...
