I have ddr333 running now but i would like to use my two sticks (1gb) in my mb. I'm not sure if i...

I need help finding another motherboard. For some reason my motherboard won't except my new ram is a 184pin ddr400. My current setup is MSI 865GM2-LS Socket 478 Intel 865G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard Intel Pentium 4 2.8C Northwood 2.8GHz Socket 478 Processor CHAINTECH SA5500T2 GeForce...

I have a faulty mobo that won't display anything. I tried all the suggestions about resetting the bios and etc., and sometimes when I power on the computer it'll start for a second or two then it'll turn off then start back up to the no post. I'm wondering if that delay in turning on is due to...

my motherboard crashed or something, but regardless of the matter, I'm going to get a new one and I was wondering if i'm going have to reinstall windows and everything else once I put in my new motherboard? The hard drives that I had with the old mobo still has the operating system on it so I'm...

Well I went to the ASUS website and they said that any motherboards purchased after Nov 1. 1999 then it has a 3 year warranty. I bought in 2004 so I guess as they mentioned I have to contact the reseller (newegg) about it. I guess I'll go that route. THanks for you help.

Yeah I checked to see if it's inserted properly and I checked to see if it was dirty and it looked fine. I looked up the beep codes and the closest thing that came to my description is a memory error code. I dont' know what that means or how to fix it if my ram is working in another computer...

It said that the repetitive long beeps are due to memory error but my memory works on another computer and the computer that I used to try out my memory on; I took their memory and put it in mine and it didn't work.

Can the lack of power cause your power supply to beep or the mobo to beep? Either the mobo or the power supply is beeping repetitive long beeps. Don't know which. I tried reseating my ram sticks, rearraging them, taking out my video card and nothing seems to work. I put my ram in another...

I just put my ram into another computer and it worked. So I'm assuming that it might be my mobo.

The ram and mobo combo have beeing working for the past 2 years, but I just installed a sata hdd and I wanted to make that the boot drive so when I was coping the old boot drive (ide) to the sata it was taking forever. I quit the transferring of drives then decided to make the sata drive the...

What are the benefits for having two of the same kind memory sticks vs. 1 stick of the same memory value if any?

I guess I'll try getting new memory. It says that it has a lifetime warranty on it, could I just ship them back to Kingston and get them replaced by them? Or was it my fault that the memory went bad?

I keep getting long beeping sounds that just repeat. I looked at the beep codes for my motherboard(MSI model# 865GM2-LS with phoenix bios) and none really fit the codes given. I have 2x516 MB kingston ram and I tried reseating them, I rearranged them, I took them out, I just tried one of them...

I just installed a Dvd rom drive as the slave. It works fine and all. But when I start up my computer it doesn't start up properly. The screen is always telling me that something is wrong. Probably a new hardware installation. So I have to select "Start windows normally" It's annoying to deal...

anyone?
