Thanks Bad Dude, Thats what I've been doing to get the mouse to shut off. Just installed this motherboard and wanted to make sure I didnt have something set up incorrectly. would it shorten the life of the mouse to just leave it lit?

I just built a new system: Soyo P4I 845PE lite P4 2.4b 512 PC2700 40 gig Maxtor 2 Optical drives I'm using Win98SE, The problem is when I go to the Virtual Memory with Windows managing it Win98 displays a negative amount -29846 mb. This is very weird. The way I discovered it was I tried to...

Thanks Eklass, You read my question wrong or i didnt make it clear. I mean the light on my optical mouse. I understand the light on the motherboard itself. To tell you there is still power to the board so you dont try to switch components and short something out.

When I shut down the computer it starts to shut down and the mouse light goes out and then at the last possible moment before the power goes out the mouse light comes back on and stays on. The only way to get the power to mouse off is to kill the power on the back of the PSU. Its an...

Thanks for all the replies, Yes it is a real Antec, its an Antec Smartpower SL300S. This is the models below the True Powers. The only difference between the system I'm building and the Value System on SharkyExtreme is they used a 1.8a and I'm gonna use a 2.4b processor. Its like a little...

I'm building a new system the components are gonna be: P42.4b Soyo PE845 Lite 512 MB ram Single DIMM Radeon 9500 Pro 40 Maxtor D740 16x DVD 24/10/40 Lite on Burner Well I already ordered the case an ANTEC SX630II which comes with a smartpower 300 watt PSU. Can I use this PSU or do I need to...

I've had my mx300 for seems like 2 years. I've really liked it but there havent been any driver updates since the 2048s that I know about. Just thought that the newer cards would probably have better sound. I think I will give the audigy a shot. If I dont like it I guess its back to the...

nt.

My system does this also. At first it bothered me and after trying to figure out what the hell was trying to use my Ide Channels even when I had nothing running. I just quit worrying about it. All I can figure is maybe windows sends a quick pulse through the ide to keep your drives active. I...

I just built a friend a computer with that cpu and he didnt want to spend any extra money on a HSF. He also didnt want to replace the pink thermal stuff that was preapplied with regular thermal compound. His reasoning AMD wouldnt have included it and warrantied it if it wasnt good enough...

Thanks for the link.

Just wondering if there are any settings that make a huge difference to performance. This is the first AMD system I've ever built. Thanks to all who reply.

I have an Asus board and when I set the Voltage in bios it always reads .05v higher also. ie set in bios to 1.75 reads 1.75 in bios. but Motherboard Monitor reports it as 1.79. Guess they figure a little extra juice just make there board seem even more stable especially for people who normally...

Thanks for the fast replies. Youre right about the flexibility didnt think about that. I'm glad to hear that I didnt just get some bad cables. They do add a little color to my case:)
