    Unofficial Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR thread

    The only problem that I have with this mobo so far is the awful placement of the main power connector.

    Can't get PC to POST after upgrade

    Can't get PC to POST after upgrade

    I just installed a Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR and a Athlon 64 3200+ and a new stick of RAM. After I connected everything I turned the power on. The only thing it does is the fans start spinning and the Floppy drive light comes on and the caps scroll and num lock lights on the keyboard come on. It...

    Quick HD question.

    Ok my current computer has 2 harddrives, 1 main HD, and 1 for just storage. In about 10 minutes I am going to upgrade my system to an A64 machine. Do I need to backup the data on my storage drive or will I be able to access the info on the new comp?

    Locking computers

    I honestly don't think it will be a problem. It hasn't been for me and I left my door open all the time in the dorms. My college always has where you can get your bikes and computers and anything else personalized with your info and stuff like that. So you might want to see about getting that...
