It is confusing. All I know is that I could not get my DS3L FSB to 400 while in 'Turbo' mode even with increased memory and core voltages. Using the 'Standard' setting allowed me to do so - and backed off the voltages to run cooler.

Ignore this thread!

"What could be wrong? Is the 380W to small for my system." Was once in a similar situation. I had a 350W PSU (18A on +12 rail). Newly built system would power on for about 2 seconds and then go dead. It was suggested I try a more powerful PSU. I tried a 450W PSU (with over 25A on +12 rail)...

Your power supply may be underpowered. I had this happen to me and I bought a more powerful power supply with more amps on the +12V. Computer started right up. Can you borrow a more powerful PSU from someone and give it a try?

I just set up a Naslite+ Server with an older unused computer I had. See: http://www.serverelements.com/ It was easy to set up and works great for me. Mine runs off the computer CD and there is no OS on the hard drive to get corrupted in a power outage. It can be accessed remotely so I...

The purpose of a UPS is not only to protect your equipment from brownouts and surges but to keep the equipment running for a time in the event of power failure - depending on how much power the battery has. For your computer, in case of power outage you want to be able to save your work and...

I used the latest version of Acronis and had to do a restore. Discovered the files I restored via the folder/file option (as opposed to a full partition restore) resulted in numerous unusable corrupted files. Acronis acted as if everything was fine - it wasn't. Recommend that you test Acronis...

I do exactly as you describe. I use Norton Ghost 9 to backup my primary drive to my auxiliary drive. Ghost has a scheduling feature - you can schedule backups for anytime (I do it daily) and tell it how many backups of the same drive to keep (so it will automatically overwrite older image files...

Anxious to see your pics. Bet the wiring job will be the cleanest we've seen.

I have had 1 Netgear and 2 Linksys routers in the last 3 years. Have had problems with both - be prepared to reboot either with some regularity so don't bury them too far in the closet.

SSID setting of laptop must match SSID setting of router to connect.
