    Deciphering BIOS Beeps

    Yeah, I'll try reseating it again. Don't believe I can switch banks, however. The manual specifically notes that the banks need to be occupied from DIMM4 to DIMM1. Thanks again for the replies.

    Deciphering BIOS Beeps

    Thanks for the reply :) That is by far more comprehensive than any other BIOS pages I've found. However, the same problem still arises. That is that none of the listed beep codes seem to correspond to the beeps I'm getting. The beeps I'm getting are the same in duration and at regular...

    HD Help!

    That kind of makes sense, but that doesn't make sense to me there is that BIOS recognizes both drives correctly... it's only when I try to get into windows that I experience problems. Did you experience the problems in the BIOS or just when attempting to load windows?

    HD Help!

    Hello, I bought a WD 5200 RPM 40 GIG HD today. I also have a WD 13.6 gig 7200 rpm drive. I installed the drive, and the BIOS sees both drives correctly. However, when it's loading windows, the windows screen comes up, then it goes black with a cursor in the upper left, and will not finish...

    Celeron underclocking

    Okay folks, I know someone with a mobo that supports chips up to 500mhz, but he has a 600mhz Celeron chip. What'll happen if he throws it in that board? Will it just not boot? Screw up the proc? Thanks for your info. O

    voodoo2 with Duron 600 on KT7

    Okay. I'm on Win98 SE. There are no working drivers. The latest drivers will not even let windows run... it either freezes or just autoreboots. After using the latest, it will not let me load other drivers, as I guess the latest includes some .dll files that the earlier ones do not and when I...
