    Leaked nVidia GeForce2 GTS 3.15.01.02.00 BIOS File

    The nice thing about flashing a AGP Video Card bios is that if it doesnt work you can stick a PCI Video Card in so you have a chance to reflash the AGP card. Not like a motherboard where you make a mistake and your dead.

    Iwill KK266 / Supermicro Case

    Could It maybe be that the main power connector to the MB isnt completely tight did you try pushing it down a little extra so that little clip on the power connector locks on to the motherboard connector. Intermittent power is usually something lose. Well you probably already checked this but...

    Cd-roms stopped working and they are ahead one drive letter

    Did you try deleting the drives in device manager and let windows redetect them. This worked for a friend of mine after his drive letters moved.

    resetting bios on Asus CUSL2-C

    Just unplug comp from the wall and remove the battery for a couple of minutes. When you reboot it will prompt you to go to setup. The you can just load defaults.

    cmos battery actually doesn't kick in unless you unplug the pc??

    How long do these batteries last then. I live in Florida so during the summer you better pull the plug from the wall because surge protectors arent fast enough to save your comp from a close lightning strike. So i always unplug mine if i know i wont be home in the afternoons. And i had one...

    Yes, thats what a lot of people do to share their internet connection. I have one NIC set to obtain automatically attached to my cable modem. And i have another NIC set to 192.168.0.1 attached to a hub goin to my lan. Sygate software has worked great for me for sharing my internet between the...

    If I only play in resonably low res, will the MX400 be good enough on a tight budget??

    Probably not the memory on those cards causes a bottleneck at about 800X600. My friend has one and if he goes over 800X600 his frame rate plummets. Thats in Quake3 though. You probably would want to spend a little more and get one of the original geforce2 gts. Thats what I have and I can...

    PC will only turn on 1 in 5 attempts ***HELP ME PLEASE***

    This same type thing happened to my sisters comp and when it would actually boot none of the pci cards would work. It was weird, anyways the problem turned out to be a bad power supply. Once we changed that everything was perfect. Hope you get it working.

    Any known problems with Netbeui & ICS (win98se)?

    I dont know if this really helps you but why dont you try downloading Sygate. Its a free trial for 30 days and then cost you 30 bucks to keep it. It was so easy to setup I couldnt beleive it. It also uninstalls very cleanly should you not like it. The reason you need netbeiu to see your...

    To Flash or Not to Flash?

    If thats the original revison of the bios I would flash it. I've had a few asus motherboards and I always flash after a few final bios revisions are released. i.e. my CUSL2 came with 1001a and I waited until 1003 final was released then I flashed. Later bios revisions usually fix problems that...

    A7V133 problems

    If you have the floppy cable on backwards the light will stay on and not shut off. The reason it gives you that ata100 message is because you dont have any fdisked drives on the ide channels. I also had this happen where i had the cable connected to the floppy and was missing a row of the...
