Well I solved it. Actually Vlad of ComputerStop, Bellevue WA solved it. It was a bad network card. I removed it and the PC restarted okay. My NetGear 311 aparently doesn't get along with my Asus board in XP. Either that or it broke at the same time I installed XP. Anyway a $6 realtek card later...

Well I have not changed the hardware since installing the OS. I have added some USB stuf but I don't think that is it. And, yes I'm talking about Quicktime. As far as the windows knowledge base, I have looked there and found lots of info about problems shutting down but have not seen anyting...

Just installed Win Xp Pro on a new drive (WD 120 gig 8MB) Somewhere along the line I am unable to restart the computer. It will shut off but hangs on a restart. If I hit the reset button it will restart without problem. It hangs after saving and logging off and right when the screen says...

I had similar problems. I reformated the drive, set defaults in the bios, diabled the on-board sound, reinstalled windows and imediatly installed the 4 in 1 drivers that came with the board. Do all of this with only the AGP card installed. Then when all is well, Install the sound card, or enable...

Why not put your primary hard drive on the raid controller? You will see increased performance. Just make sure it is connected to the blue ide slot (D0) and Scsi is selected in the bios as the primary boot device. I would recomend against upgrading your bios unless you really can't stand the...

The guy at the shop says he fixed it. I don't believe him though. He says he just reinstalled the 4 in 1 drivers. I did that many times aftter clean installs. I will pick it up later and will try to get it to freeze before I leave the shop.

Well I gave up and turned it over to the gurus at the local PC shop. Now it is their problem. HA! I did not have any conflicts with respect to the cd drives. The rw is master and the dvd is slave which worked fine when they were part of my tbird 750rig. I had tried to flash the bios with 1005...

Right click "My Computer" left click explore and the explore screen pops up and you can manage files right? Not on my computer. I have replaced the memory and now the mother board. I am recording the voltages to rule a bad power supply out but when I click on explore, the file managment screen...

My new system constantly locks up and freezes especially "exploring my computer" and replying to email. I have swaped out the memory stick but so far have not fixed the problem. I don't think it is software as I am only runing with systray and explorer in the background and have tried to...

I have PC 150 ram from kingmax. I don't get why I can change the multiplier from 7.5 to 7 and 8 but nothing else

I unlocked the chip and tried to run it at 6x100. That should be easy right? Well my MB said "There is something wrong with your processor." Thats right, this Aopen MB talks! I can run it at 7, 7.5 and 8. What's the problem? Right now I'm running 7 x 130. It is stable but I want to run...
