I am getting an ADSL connection this month and I have a dilema on which modem to get. There are only two ADSL modem models: Alcatel Speed Touch which can be bought from the service provider. Samsung AHT-N120 which can be bought by the user. The Alcatel modem is an external modem which is...

<< OK, my brother seems to have chipped the core on his processor so he needs to get a new one. I have a few questions to help decide which one to get. I tried searching for the answers in the FAQ and by doing searches, but didn't find the answers I was looking for. If I remember correctly...

The A7V133 isn't such a good board for overclocking. I happen to have one myself too and I noticed a problem which might be similar to yours: It doesn't matter what cpu speed u overclock or even downclock as long as you set your VCORE via bios the system won't boot. It happend to me with the...

The Asus A7V133 or A7V133-C(without raid controller) PCB revision 1.05 or later should be a good choice for you because it is a stable board based on the good old KT133A Chipset.

What is your mainboard chipset?

Can the problem be RAM or Sound Card related?

Tried all what you've just written... Except for changing the video card. My refresh rate is set to 85hz and my monitor can handle that, so as the manual says.

I've almost tried everything, I really don't know what to do next...

I think it's my fisrt post here, any way... I've been having this problem for about half a year now. Sometimes when I turn on my computer, windows loads(98SE) and then I get a Black-Screen with a green line on top of the screen. The thing happens after the system completes the boot proces, loads...

I have a problem with overclocking my duron. when I try to overclock it at x.5 multipliers it'd use 0.5 multiplier below, for instance, if I choose multiplier 9.5 it'd boot at 9... I'm currently running my Duron 800 with 10 multiplier rock solid
