thx guys for your input ya...good to see it is a common thing...now i will just let it be and not worry about it untill i upgrade the thing

Two Words.... Dell Blows!

hey guys...I am tech and can fix or explain most issues but this one is just a little odd here it is I have a k7s5a by ecs mb with an athlon xp 1800+ on it now it always said my external clock was 66mhz right from day one...i didnt pay attention to it becuase it still ran at 1528mhz...not far...

I feed my mouse cheese....and he keeps running in that little wheel giving my puter the power i need to edit stuff

in a word..yes i would go with the creative or the altecs just make sure you get a surround system coz the live and surround is sweet :)

yep..i know your problem its a new way for the scum licking spam masters to hit ya with their ads...they use windows messaging, not to be confused with msn messenger..windows messaging is used primarialy by computers on a local network and if you have it enabled u can send/recieve popup messages...

i have seen 512megs run and crash on win98 os....also have seen 1gig run only once on this os and not run on 3 othersystems. my question is how much is good and what is too much for this operating system? :confused:

there is a file in your windows dir called moreicons.ini i think it is when ya wanna go and change them just brows to this file

well first off you didnt say whether you ran scandisk or not...this should be done first if you get errors everytime you run it then you know another thing to check would be ram...try one stick at a time and if one acts up after you install it then you know its ram another thing is scan for...

try disabling all windows sound schemes and see if you can find the latest drivers online for your card ive had the turtle beach card and found it to be quite good if that doesnt work look for a conflict somewhere...like maybe with your nic or video card hope ya get it worked out soon cheers

if you play on the pc thats serving...........well you know the rest

whoa dude! no no no never, ever flash your mobo coz a game freezes up on ya a game can be fixed, your mobo cant if you dont do the flash just right you wil..and i mean will fry it but good and besides...the system you have is fairly new and im sure the bios is up to date any way what i would...

that power supply is a little weak for yer system...but more often than not if you get crashes to the desktop its a ram issue what happens is it tries to write to a bad address or one thats in use...like if you have video ram cache enabled in your bios, it will just do a purge and dump the prog...
