Ok, I went back to Fry's last night at exchanged the mobo. Installed it today and I got it to POST. I guess it was just a bad mobo. When I talked to the service guy there he also said that the SOYO Fire Dragon has a problem with memory. It does not seem to like generic brands, which is what...

I have one 256mb DDR I took everything out and I still got the long beep (close to 4 sec.) that keeps repeating itself until I shut it off. This happened when there was no memory/no video. I can only get that repeating long tone from the machine, no matter what I do. I'm starting to think it...

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

The continuous beeps just keep going and going... I would shut it off after about 15 or so.. it got irritating. I know the memory is seated correctly the only other possible explanation would be that I was sold a bad stick. I might have to go out and buy a new one unless I can think of...

I checked the memory and it is in DIMM1. I reseated it just in case. After clearing the CMOS again I tried booting and I get the same response - none except a continuous long beep lasting about three seconds over and over again. And when I do plug in the hd, it does turn but the machine...

If I do not clear the CMOS, when I try to boot I do not get any beeps, but the hsf turns.

Ok, I just took out the Lithium for a few seconds, reseated it, cleared the CMOS, and booted it up. This time I got a long continuous beep over and over again. When I do boot up, the hsf does turn. The hd is not connected to the system right now, its just the mobo, video, and memory...

I'm building a new system with the Soyo Fire Dragon mobo, 256 DDR 1.6 P4, Xtasy Video card (nvidia gforce2 - 64mb), and 320W Power supply. Once I installed everything, I tried booting up but nothing came up on my monitor. At first I thought it was the video card or monitor so I replaced it...

Thanks for all the replies. I checked out that Aloha Bob's PC Relocator and it looks pretty good. Has anyone had any experience with it? If I don't do that, I'm probably going to try to ghost it first, but I'm doubtful it would work so I am ready to just reinstall everything and spending the...

Is there a TV tuner card that works with digital cable?

I have a Pentium III computer with Windows 2000 Pro and important info on my 10gb Quantum HD. Right now I'm building a Pentium IV w/ the Soyo P4I Fire Dragon. My question is, how would I copy my old HD to my new computer without losing any information? I do not want to go through the hassle of...

Oops, I forgot to post the problem.... I have a Pentium III computer with Windows 2000 Pro and important info on my 10gb Quantum HD. Right now I'm building a Pentium IV w/ the Soyo P4I Fire Dragon. My question is, how would I copy my old HD to my new computer without losing any information...

Does anyone have any experience with the Promise FastTrak100 TX2?

I need a RAID 1 config for my pc. I have heard some good reviews for the Promise card, but nothing about SIIG. Any opinions? When I do install the controller card, would I be able to use my current primary HD (Quantum 10G), plug it into the card with another HD of the same storage capacity...

Does anyone have any experience with an Adaptec AAA-UDMA Raid card? I am also considering purchasing a new controller card if necessary but most have a limit of only 80GB per drive.
