    BSOD

    I had a similar problem using 1GB Corsair TwinXL 3200Pro that had previously worked well in a Pentium system. I discovered that my Corsair memory did not like my new Epox 9NPA+Ultra. I replaced the memory with 2GB Patriot 3200LLK and my problems disappeared. I could run the Corsair twinset with...

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    Yesterday I dumped 1024MB of Corsair TwinXL 3200Pro in favour of 2048MB DUAL Channel Patriot 3200LLK. My Corsair memory would not run above 333Mhz in the Epox 9NPA+Ultra but it had run well for two years in my previous Intel system. I'm not an overclocker so the Patriot memory suits me well...

    Need to replace chipset fan on Abit IC7G. Is that possible?

    The NB fan on the IC7-G is easily removable, Simply run the board for ten minutes and it'll come off with a minimal twisting motion. The NB heatsink fan/heatsink retaining pins on this board are prone to falling off. However, I repaired mine using a tiny dab of super glue gel. I replaced mine...

    FEAR freezes in game all the time

    We have exactly the same problem with an AMD 4000+ and Geforce 7800GT 1024Mb RAM system. On our searches for a solution we found that quite a lot of other people with different systems were hitting the snag. I believe its related to the game engine as there seemed no common hardware or software...

    Counter Strike sound loop crash.

    Dear Friends, I've just built my first AMD system having been a confirmed Intel user for years. This is also the first time I've used a Nvidia card for a few years. In terms of my system's performance, I'm very agreeably surprised. My build went reasonably well, although I hate the...

    USB2 drivers and Nvidia 4 chipset mobos!

    Hello Friends, I've recently installed XP Home on to an Nvidia 4 based mainboard (see sig.) and like many others it seems have hit a major driver problem with the Nvidia USB drivers. This problem affects those of us with early XP install CDs, i.e., pre the SP1a update, who've installed the...

    Onboard or Seperate Soundcard.

    Just to complete the story in case anyone else is interested. The Realtech coaxial worked very well indeed and as my seperate amp does all of the audio work, it sounds quite good. As good I would say as that I got from the Audigy 2zs in my previous system. However, there is some motherboard...

    Many thanks, I was beginning to suspect as much! Two less wires to join the spaghetti.

    Onboard or Seperate Soundcard.

    Hi there, I'm two days into my conversion from Intel to AMD so please assume the worst about my competence. I have an Epox 9NPA Ultra mainboard that I'm about two third of the way toward setting up. I'm stumped about how to connect my DVD writer up to the onboard sound. The DVD has CD...
