Sorry I didn't mention that. It's a Asus 7700 pure. Thanks for the help/reply.

:confused:To start, after a full shutdown, I always need to reboot to get my monitor to come on. Now, my video card fan is making a lot of noise, possibly bearings in the fan??? I've been reading post from other people and if I should start planning to buy a new vid card, I was considering...

I have the ASUS 7700 (pure, 32 ram) running on my abit kt7a mb, with tb santa cruz as my sound card, and windows xp home as my os. I had to do a fresh install recently, and I reinstalled smart doctor. Now, when I shutdown, the VGAProbe program doesn't want to and sometimes the smart doctor...

Yes I have, and I downloaded more updates again this last night/this morning, and my floppy drive is still searching for disks. Any ideas on why Norton's did what it did?

Been runnin' XP for about a month now and I figured out that I needed a newer ver. of Norton's Sys. Works (2002). I'm installing the last bit of the program, reboots, then I get the message that my sys32/config/ file is missing or corrupt. Tried everything I could think of to restore the...

I'm really liking win XP, but when I ran the system checking program prior to installing XP, it said I would have problems with Norton System Works Pro (2001). Now I want to reinstall it, and the Symantec web site has a patch to install. Has anyone tried this, and does it work? What's a good...

Okay, I downloaded the patch(?) and I downloaded nvidia 2.3.1.2 from MS and still have no luck running Blue Shift. I'm not sure what to try next, any ideas??

My new machine, we'll call computer A with winXP installed(seimens net card) and computer B is a compaq 5151 with a linksys(lte100tx) net card. Computer A & B are on, connected to the net, log off the net, turn computer B off( or standby) and computer A will keep trying to dial to the internet...

I've had XP installed for almost two weeks now, and except for the mind set of using 98SE, I've very happy with it. My install of Half Life (Blue Shift) went normal, but everytime I try to start, the screen goes black for two seconds then my desktop comes up. I've heard mixed reviews on...

:confused:After reading Anandtech reviews, it seems like a good thing. However, I'm still confused about the 10/100 transfer rate, and if you can still talk on the phone while being online at the same time. Any input from someone that owns a kit would be great.

:|I have the Asus 7700 and since I've built this machine, I get alot of random lock-ups. I searched Tom's hardware and tried many of the things suggested, no change. I've tried installing the latest 4 in 1 drivers, problem still exist. Rarely do I get the BSD, just "soft" lock ups with...

:confused:After reading various articles on networking, I still have questions; 1. If using a routing hub, am I still using my PCI modem cards? 2. If using the Home Network Kits, are these used instead of modem cards? 3. I'm planning to connect two home pc's, one with xp the other with 98SE...

:confused:Whenever I try to start to scan, the computer freezes up, the mouse moves but everthing else has no response. When I insert the HP scanning disc I get the message that it was unable to turn on the usb ports and I needed to check the bios. How can this be when my keyboard and mouse...

:confused:I've been trying to figure this out for weeks. I'm not sure what I did or didn't do, but when I try to scan anything, it won't start and I get a message that it can't turn on the usb port and I need to check in my bios. The thing I can't get is that my keyboard and mouse are usb and...
