Update your bios if possible. Your old bios does not recongnize the new cpu.

Does your video card support 4x . Some video cards wont work on the new motherboards for pentium4. Not sure about sis. If thats not it then make sure your cards and cables are pushed all the way in, starting with the video card. Turn the computer off when working inside, or outside, unless its...

Does your p4b266-C cpu voltage fluctuate, or is it steady at 1.6.

I also have the voltage fluctuations, except its on the epox 4bda2+ . Set at auto 1.5 , the acual is 1.45-1.50 voltage. Fluctuates up and down at random; but haven't had any problems. Does anyone know if the asus p4b266 does this also? Is it a bad thing or not, is the monitoring of the bios...

Heres a review of the 4bda2+ and it one of the best overclockers boards if not the best you can get. http://www.tweakersasylum.com/Reviews/EPoX/4BDA2P/00000012.htm Most of the pentium4 boards would be fine, except for the intel and a few others that have no overclocking options. Epox and asus...

Get the epox 4bda2+ with raid or without the raid. No bios bugs and stable, im using it and its a good board. Alot of the other brands have bios bugs especially in the overclocking area.

Im not overclocking and all i have right now is radio shack past.

What is better Intel Thermal pad on the p4 retail heatsink or some plain old radio shack type thermal paste. My temparature on 1.8a P4 is higher than what other's post, 36-39c idle 26c case temp, room temp 74 f , playing games after a quick check is 44 to 47 and this with normal room temp. So...

Here's a review that was hard to find, and this board came out on top. For some odd reason 4bda2+ isn't on the epox web site yet, but im sure it will be soon as the new wears off. I ordered this board from newegg and should get it monday, so can't say from experience, but the overclocking...

If the floppy isn't formated yet ,it wont work until its formated.

Have you checked your cdrom settings for dma. Might be slow cdrom performance.

I found the answer to my own question. I found a site that reviewed the northwood cpu with the epox 478-4BDA2+ motheboard and they were overclocking the northwood 2.2 amd 2.0 pentium4 with it. Should have the same overclocking options as the sdram version that i read about. I think its going...

I ordered the EPOX 845D 4BDA2+ from newegg and a 1.8a northwood. Will the northwood work ok on the epox motherboard , I couldn't find any revews or anything else for that matter on this motherboard , but ordered it anyway. The motherboard isn't listed on epox's site yet. If you know anything...

After reading your post about luna theme again i see that the problem is that it is not listed in the display properties. System restore would be a good option if your themes are missing. I think i will stop posting in forums without the ability to edit, makes me look stupid.

In display properties under themes select windowsxp. Its that simple . Really surprised no one mentioned that in there posts, duh. Right click on an empty area of your desktop to get to display properties.
