Sorry....maybe I wasn't being very clear....what I saying was that most computers will power on with only fans even without a CPU and from what you've said....I'd say that the CPU is dead. The mobo could be bad too but I'd start with the CPU first.

The fans in the computer will still run without having a cpu installed at all! Since you said that your not getting any heat from the cpu then I'd definitely say that the CPU is dead; however it could also die by just removing the heatsink while it's on. Killrose is right about it being an AMD...

I have a question regarding the Thermalright AX-7 and the Abit KR7A-133 mobo. I currently have an SK-6 cooler and was thinking about getting an AX-7. I have an AthlonXP 1900+. My question is if the AX-7 heatsink will fit on the KR7A mobo? I see the capacitors are very close to the socket as it...

Thanx guys....I spoke with some other people that have had the same board that I did and the KR7A-133 and they've had the exact same experience. I also got my hands on WPCREDIT and WPCRSET programs and my idle temp went all the way up to 120F and with those programs now it is always between 96F...

Hi, I've got an Abit KR7A-133 mobo and a AthlonXP 1900+ (1.60 GHz) and I'm using a Thermalright SK-6 HSF with a 6000 rpm Delta fan. I'm also using Arctic Silver 1 thermal grease. Now my idle temps are between 46C - 48C (114F and 118F) and my full load temps are between 49C - 52C (120F - 126F)...

I think the GF4 Ti 4200 looks great! I have a VisionTek Xtasy GeForce 4 Ti4400 and I can 120+ FPS in Jedi Knight II: Outcast and in Unreal Tournament (using Opengl mode) I get 200+ FPS!! This card rocks; however....seeing all the new upcoming vid cards debuting shortly....I would honestly...

<< << my 2 sticks of PC2100 Crucial 256 meg DDR memory >> ummmm..... my KK266+ uses pc133....guess i could use the dremmel to cut the proper slots in the DDR memory. good luck >> Oh uh....I uh....knew that. I was testing your observation skills..huh....sorry...I misread it for the...

Oh man....let me inform you on this. I have an Iwill KA266-R mobo and a AthlonXP 1900+. I upgraded from a Athlon 1.33 GHz T-bird core and this board royally sucks! It was only "OK" with my Athlon T-bird but with this AthlonXP it sucks big time! The official word on it is yes it does support...

Well Win2K is good but I don't see how it betters WinXP Pro in any way at all. WinXP is extremely stable, it's very game friendly and most of all it's secure and it's as fast and in some cases faster than Win98 or WinME. Since I installed in October I think it was, I've had only two BSOD and...

I've read about ppl having various driver problems with GF3's and GF4's with anything over 23.11 or higher drivers. I just received my VisionTek Xtasy GeForce 4 Ti 4400 and I have the same problem with this one as I do with my GF3 (original no Ti or MX version. When I would try to run anything...

I bought an Enermax 530 watt PSU last year. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but if you go to pricewatch they have it as little as $130!! 530 watts may seem like overkill but you don't have to worry about running low on juice anytime soon. Also just because you have that many watt's...

<< IT'S A MAD HOUSE!!! A MAD HOUSE! thank God for Rambus... >> I think Rambus is going to go the way of the dinosaur. We've got the upcoming DDR2 memory coming up and soon DDR will not only be as fast as Rambus but it will surpass it! :P

If you really want the card then by all means guy it. I just ordered a Visiontek GF4 Ti 4400 myself and I too have a GF3 (original). Do you need a GF4? No but from the reviews I've seen (none of the just the 4400 but they've included it in the tests) it's only slightly slower than the 4600...

<< for residential? of course not .. i mean really, isnt the approximate going rate for a T3 around 10,000 a month? .. -neural >> Yeah, that was a dumb question. I don't know exactly how much a T1 is but I think it's around $1,000 a month so a T3 would be much more. I'm guessing that the...

<< As far as I am aware, there isn't an "OC-1" interface. The smallest OC interface that is available is OC-3. There is an STS-1 interface, which has DS-3 ( T-3 to the vulgar ) speeds but is synchronous, unlike DS-3. By the way, DS-3 is almost always delivered on fiber and the coax is only...
