I actually have no freakin clue what I did, but I was just working on the system, happened to disconect the LAN connection and upon re-connection it started working! Hopefully it'll stay on for a while. But, to answer your question, at the time, no I was not able to connect to any other...

I'm running Windows XP, all current updates and service packs. I'm using Wildblue satellite internet service, hard wired to a D-link DGL-4300 router. Every other computer on the network (Whether it be using WIFI or the LAN ports) can connect through the router and surf fine. My computer, all of...

I'm wanting to buy my mom a printer she can use while carrying her laptop at work. Needs to be pretty portable, RELIABLE, and color. Not looking to spend over $200. Any ideas, or at least where I should look at?

Well, I've physically hooked it up without any problems but I cannot get the thing to recognize for ANYTHING. I've already got 2 WD 36GB raptors running in RAID zero on the 2 RAID connectors. The motherboard manual does not make a single mention of how to install and setup a single SATA hard...

I just reflashed and its going further then it has been. So I guess the reflash has cured it. Shoulda just done that to start with. I appreciate everyones help alot. Has been quite the learning experience :P

Yup, sure am. Also just swapped the video card to the other slot, no difference there either. The voltages are the stock ones. I didn't change any of that, figured it wasn't a good time to be worrying with OCing and what not before I can even get it to install windows. Heres what its reading...

Nope....Now I get this: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Time to flash the bios?

Its in the first one. I'll switch it to another and try it again and see what goes on. Memtest is clean, ran it compeltely through twice with no errors.

Alright, I had tried going through installation one more time after changing the bios according to the directions and DFI street. Now I get past the license agreement, quick formatted the drive and begin copying stuff down when I get this: ntfs.sys address F814BFE6 base at F8122000, date...

Hmm...interesting. The only thing in a slot is the graphics card. Nothin else. And its the rosewill x800xl mentioned above. Not anything old or outdated by anymeans. edit: after revewing some more microsoft techincal bullitens it looks like I need to run memtest86 as mentioned earlier on...

Checked the drive with the Western Digital drive diagnostic software, did the quick and long checks, wrote byte zero to the entire drive. Just tried installing windows and I'm getting a BSOD before I can even get to the license agreement. Its got the normal garb and then this: Stop: 0x00000007e...

Man thats weird as heck. I just hooked them up...I'll have to retry installing windows tomorrow and see what happens.

wtf, theres 4? Theres 2 hooked up, all 4 have to be connected? Why is it even booting if it needs that many and only half are connected?

I'm reading that 15th post over at the DFI forum now...I'll try some of that stuff and see what happens. I haven't ran memtest, but I'll do that also.

All of this happened with one single stick in the #2 slot. And what do you mean about it mounting, the physical mounting of it in the case you mean? Its solid.
