the 9500pro is a good choice in this price range...better than what Nvidia has to offer.

Last time i got this messaged i overclocked my memory too far and when i scaled it back to stock speeds it was fine..so if you are OC'ing scale it back to stock or if you aren't OC'ing swap ram and see if it still happens.

sorry for being a noob..but how do i check that? do you mean i goto the security tab and add system in there and give it full access? edit- yup that did the trick..thanks very much...i wonder how it got screwed up in the first place...o well thanks.

how do i check that? i looked under the security tab and i'm allowed to do everything including full control already..is that what you mean?

I don't know what's wrong with my machine. but whenever i bootup my computer i get the message my virtual drive/file paging size is too small and when i check it is set at 20mb WTF?? i reset it to somewhere near 400megs, but when i reboot i get the same message and when i check it is at 20mb...

thanks a lot..that was it... my HSF was on backwards...my temps are about 6-7 degrees celcius lower than b4.

o..i didnt know it makes a difference which way the heatsink is installed..i'll check it out...

i have a Globalwin CAK-II 38 full copper heatsink with a 7,000rpm fan and i put a bit of artic silver thermal compound on the die of the cpu normal usage its at about 52celcius

sorry...i have a SPI 300w power supply FSP300..i have no idea why i said antec

I have an AMD xp1600+ and msi ultra2 mb with 256mb DDR 266 ram running at stock speeds..sometimes when i'm playing games the computer will shut off....i see that the temperature is 60 celcius when i immediately turn it back on and see the temp in bios setup....i have a geforce2 gts 64mbddr video...

thanks...will give x-setup a look...

i cant seem to find any programs that tells me whether win2k is running ata-66 or ata-100

i am running win2k sp3..and my ATA100 WD 40gb 7,200rpm drive seems to constantly benchmark below comparable drives and is more in the range of a ata-66 drive benchmark level...according to sisSandra...my HD score is only 19k....any ideas? i read b4 that win2k default to ata-66 but i have sp3...

erasing your WINNT directory will mean you lose everything, you might as well repartition and format if you do that...you can try choosing the repair option when you boot up with your cd...see if that fixes your problems..if you do that you keep your lan settings.

every once in a while at startup i get the blue screen memory dump error in win2k: stop:0x00000050 (0xc61acc04,0x00000000,0x804601ff, 0x00000000) Address 804601ff base at 80400000 Date stapm 3d366b8b-ntoskrnl.exe i've tried reinstalling sp3 and using the recovery disk to reinstall the system...
