SolarWind, Where does one find memtest? Not sure that will necessarily work as without being able to install XP I don't have a system that is functioning. None of the voltages have been changed; default values. Craig, Errors happen at different points...with multitude of times I've...

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on my problem; have just put together a new system as follows: Soltek K8AN2E-GR Motherboard AMD Athlon64 2800 CPU w/stock heatsink/fan Samsung 512MB PC3200 DDR400 Memory Seagate Barracuda 120GB Serial ATA HDD Sony CRX300A CD-RW/DVD Drive ATI Radeon...

I've got my system (Abit KT7-Raid, Duron 600) oc'd to 935 (110x8.5 w/core voltage @ 1.65). If I try to go further with FSB it locks so I was playing with the multipler and problem also. What happens if I try to go 9, 9.5, and I'm assuming higher is the system gives an error message and either...

First, I'd like to thank all those who responded to my post yesterday. I have another question/thought regarding OC'g: Everyone wants to bump the multiplier on their CPU to improve performance but wouldn't you get better performance by setting your system to max stable FSB and then adjusting...

Question/Issue... I have an Abit KT7-Raid, Duron 600 o/c'd to 880 (8x110) with 128 mb generic PC133 and Creative Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT (PCI). The issue I have is that I can't o/c the FSB beyond 110...any thoughts as to whether this is more likely the RAM or Video Card? I can pick-up 128MB...

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the following: Flashed to the WW bios on the weekend and now when I power on the system it runs throught the memory check 2-3 times before stopping. Before WW, it used to zip through this in a split second. Thanks

I recently installed a FOP32-1 unit on my system (Duron 600/Abit KT7-Raid); I took a look at the fan from the removed OEM unit and it's a 40mm Delta. Any thoughts on what I could do with this (just itching to take the Dremel to the case)...I'm thinking either installing it on the side across...

I scratched the thermal pad off the bottom of my FOB32 with my finger nail and then cleaned up with rubbing alcohol. Also used the rubbing alcohol on a Q-Tip on the cpu core. As to the compound...not too much because force of clip would push it out - could make a bit of a mess. After I'd...

Thanks for the info so far. Oh, by the way Biggs, I forgot to mention that I've got a FOP32 installed.

Did the pencil trick the other day and have been playing with O/C'ing my Duron 600/Abit KT7-Raid combo. Last night I set multipler to 8.5, voltage to 1.6, and FSB 107/35. System loaded up perfectly but then locked when I went into Rogue Spear. Re-set FSB to 100/33 and no problems. I'd like...

Can anyone point me in the right direction to a site that details steps to o/c'ing. What I'm looking for is somewhere that details steps, troubleshooting, etc. Last night I did the pencil trick, hooked up my FOP32-1 and away I went. Was doing okay until I tried 8.5x with 107/35 FSB and system...

My parents are going to give me a new monitor for X-mas. I'm thinking either a Viewsonic EF70 or Samsung 700NF. Anyone have comments on these or another suggestion? Looking in the $425 Cdn range (~$275 US)...use mainly for internet and games (NHL 2000, RRTycoon2, The Sims, etc). Thanks.

I don't know that this is exactly your problem, but here it is anyway. My Dad recently got a new computer with Win ME installed and was encountering a similiar problem. I solved the problem by clearing the 'Documents' folder accessed from the 'Start' button. He'd copied some files from the A...
