Yep, cleared the bios with no result. Someone mentioned a possible PS issue, and that the ps I have is only rated to 900mhz, so I might explore that avenue this afternoon.

There are a lot of possibilities , but please give us more info on hardware/os/software. Until then, First Try moving your ram around to the other slots and see if the error changes. If so, replace your ram. If that didn't make a difference then try turning External Cache off in the Bios. If...

No replies to Friday's topic, so pardon the repost. I'll try and give as much info as possible... Just bought another setup this week: 1.2/266 Tbird 256mbx2 Kingston 133/CAS3 RAM MSI K7T Turbo ATI Radeon 32mb DDR AGP WD Caviar 20g SB Live! Value 3com 3c509 10/100 Nic Antec PP-303X 300w PS...

I currently have a WD Caviar 15.3 7200 drive, and damn is it loud! Maybe i didn't notice in the old room since it sat beside all my other machines, but now that it sits alone in a small room my skin crawls with that high pitched scream. Are there any large eide 7200 drives that might be a...

ugh... I had this same problem over the weekend. The thing that bothers me is, if I specifically say "DO NOT INSTALL DOS DRIVERS", why would it install the sb16 emulator? I booted in safe mode and uninstalled the drivers. Then rebooted, ran the setup again & before restarting...

here.. i think this is what she is referring to: Fastest PC133 128mb CAS2

Does it smell like sulfur? strong rotten egg smell? If so, we encountered this before & ended up with the local Hazmat team in our office. Ok, it was a bit of overkill for the situation, but they found that the battery was overloading & overheating. Ours got so hot the battery swelled...

If you are referring to the Emergency Repair Disk, you'd never guess where they put it: Start>Programs>Accessories>System tools>backup It took me a long time to figure that one out.
