Hi everyone!
two quick questions. I did try to google and search the forums and thought I had an explanation but have not found exactly what I am looking for.
The first question is simple. My new Intel X25M 80 GB hard drive is listed in BIOS boot order as the following:
IDE HDD - Intel...
Hehe. I already have a new cpu and mobo in my cart at New Egg. I haven't pulled the trigger yet - i need to calm down a little and decide what i want to do. I have been accused of falling into the Diderot effect trap often in the past. (buying a new toaster for the kitchen for example, then...
So, for all of you kind folks out there I would like to bring you closure to this puzzle.
I worked on the pc for several hours last night. A lot of these things don't come very naturally to me but I updated the BIOS one more time (apparently there was a later version I did not realize) ...
Those are good questions. The motherboard itself has X16 on the top slot and X8 on the lower one. I did review the mobo website specifications and agree with what you said - it is very confusing. If you look a little more you will see this under further information:
Two PCI Express x16...
I agree. I will see if I can exchange it for another. This might take a day or so based on my work schedule.
I will post an update when I figure out what I am going to do - closure wise for the kind folks that posted over the last 2 days. (I hate when someone drops the posts without the...
These are all great ideas guys and I really do appreciate it. To summarize I have done the following things:
1. cleared CMOS multiple times
2. installed new power supply.
3. tried the different pci-express slots (my board has two)
4. uninstalled old ati drivers.
5. all the lights on the...
I thank everyone for their continued support in my quest. I did alternate the PCI-E slots and just did it one more time without any luck. I did connect the additional molex connector above the primary slot. Again the card's fan is spinning, all the beeps and so forth sound fine (no warning...
Well I sure do like my new Corsair power supply. 70A for the 12V rail. Installation was easy enough - it has a lot of connectors. I like the look of it better than the older Antec.
The only problem? It does nothing to fix the problem. Still hangs at the opening MSI screen. So I am...
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. I guess I am just plain careless. It is a PCI-Express. I should have been less sloppy.
At this exact moment I am using the MSI live update to get more stuff. Apparently my BIOS was not the latest. As far as the driver, VGA, etc. I will essentially make sure I have...
Thank you for the suggestions. I am almost 100% that I did try turning on the computer with and without the disc in the drive. Because I would not absolutely certain I will try that again.
So you are suggesting if there is a bad PNY driver installation disc in the player, that could be...
Greetings all,
I know I am going to get blasted but I figure I have nothing else to loose. I am trying to get a little more time on a several year old build of mine so I thought I would upgrade my video card. The installation is fine (meaning case room, actually fitting it in correctly) ...
