Hey folks, Recently got a new motherboard cause the old one died. I installed the video card (Diamond Viper V770) and everything is tinted green. Is there some kind of incompatibility with these two components, or do I have in configured incorrectly in the bios? Maybe the video card is just...

Happy, thanks for the reply. Get this, after having sat untouched for a day and a half I went to give it another try. Sure enough, the thing booted up fine (w/ all the cards in). I suspect it is a power problem but I think the power supply is ok. I live in an old apartment (house) with a bunch...

Hey folks, My monitor no longer detects a signal form the computer. It was working fine and just happened all of a sudden. I opened up the machine and the cpu fan is no longer running. I pulled all the cards out (both agp/pci) and booted the thing up, wouldn't ya know...cpu fan starts running...

Hey all, Thanks again for the help. Workin, is that sound card ISA? I was reading about hardware issues on Informatrix (that site slatt mentioned), and it said something about older ISA cards. The audio must be downsampled from 48 to 44 and may get distorted cuz of software issues. It also...

Hye, DMA is checked for the DVD drive. Wave out was the default setting for PowerDVD. Direct sound kind of sounds muddled and muted. Tested sound in DirectX Diag., everything ok. Audio drivers are the latest available from the web site. Man, I'm baffled. I realize the sound card is kind...

Damn, anyone got any ideas? Kevin

Hey all, I just put a DVD player in my computer but the DVD audio is terrible. Is sounds like really distorted and unclear. Sounds sort of like interference. It's definetely not interference though. I'm pretty sure it's a software problem. When I switch it to DirectSound from WaveOut in...

Hey all, Listen to this. SE autodetected the card (onboard chip really) and installed the proper drivers for it. Way to go Windows! I'm just gonna leave it be...not gonna bother getting the latest drivers or anything. As long as it works, I don't care. Thanks all for the suggestions...

Hey, Its definitely a 4834 with an onboard Rage controller. According to the FAQ's on their website, the 4834 was made with either a Rage chip or a Virge chip. In the driver section, they only have the driver for the Virge and no mention at all of the Rage. I would rather not use the quick...

Hi all, Does anyone have this machine? I'm trying to fix this machine for a friend of mine and I'm having trouble locating some of the drivers for it. I've been going in circles on Compaq's horrible web site. The first problem is the video driver. The 4834 that my friend has is the one with...

Hey, Thanks...good thinking. The hub in my room says repeater on it. It also has a light on it that indicates activity which is constantly lit. That takes care of that problem. I wish I knew what was wrong with the damn network neighborhood. Almost every workgroup I click on is "not...

Hey all, I just installed a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 NIC in my computer. I plugged it in to the network here. The Link/Act LED is flickering constantly now. This seems kinda weird. The manual says it is should stay lit and blink when it receives data. Is something wrong with it? On a...
