My computer started freezing up last night. This is the first time I've experienced this problem. First of all, for reference, here?s my set up. I built this computer myself in January of 2006, replacing an EVGA 7800 with the 7900 in April of ?06. So, everything is a little over 3 years...

Unfortunately I don't know exactly when this problem started. Here's the relevant specs on my computer. ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM eVGA 256-P2-N515-AX Geforce 7900GT WD...

I called Crutchfield last Friday and was told they are still on backorder, but they will be sent out as soon as Crutchfield gets them. Then on Tuesday I got an e-mail with the title "Your Crutchfield Order..." I quickly opened it, only to discover it was another notice about it being on back...

It looks like it takes about a month from the time you order for it to ship. I ordered mine on March 24, so I'm not worried yet.

OK, I said I wasn't going to keep messing with this, but of course I did. :roll: After fiddling with the videocard's settings some more, my computer will no longer open windows when I click on any programs. So, I can't re-open the ATI program to restore the card's default settings. I thought...

I just spent an hour trying to figure this out. I can't find a hardware acceleration option for the card, so I don't know whether it's turned on or off. The help file that I assume was installed with the drivers won't load up. Firefox claims the file doesn't exist. I found a manual on ATI's...

First of all, here?s my rig since I know people will want this info before answering my questions. ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM eVGA 256-P2-N515-AX Geforce 7800GT 256MB WD...

I was afraid of that. Oh well, thanks for the response.

OK, here's another noob question. Does this motherboard have any kind of onboard video? I signed up for EVGA's step up program and will be mailing in my video card soon. Will I be able to do anything with my computer while waiting for the new card? I'm not talking about playing games, just...

My old computer still worked fine, but I needed a serious upgrade for video encoding. I just cleaned all the crap out of the machine that my sister would never use and that I didn't want anyone to see and gave it to her as a Christmas present.

I'm 294 in the queue for the 7900GT CO Superclocked. But I'm a little nervous now that a couple of people have started threads saying they can't get their new 7900GT's to work. I'm going to be watching that situation very closely before making a final decision on whether to go through with...

Here's a link, FYI: http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/ I read the FAQ, and I'm going to give this a try on both my computer at home and my flash drive. If it works, I'll buy the full version.

I'm curious about this too because I have a Kingston DataTraveler II 512MB flash drive which allows me to create a "private partition" that can only be accessed via password. It works fine at home, but my computer at work will not let me access the private partition I created. I read the FAQ...

At least I know I wasn't the only one with this problem! I finished building the machine and everything seems to be working great right now. :)

The "Windows XP Professional Service Pack II CD is disk 1 of the install. Just put disk one back in and you'll be fine. Raduque, ND40oz, you were both right. I put the first cd back in (after reformatting and starting completely over) and Windows MCE finished installing properly. I was able...
