    Nothing Technical, a favour really...

    I needed to since there were some lock ups that were going on in the BIOS setup screen. I know all about the do at your own risk stuff. It was recommended by them that I do it. That's what makes me so mad about it!

    Fatal Error...Unable to process IP

    Well... Here goes. I managed to dig up a couple of informative pieces of information for you that might help with the problems that you are having. You might want to make sure that you are comfortable with editing the registry before you do any of this. I would think that there is a problem with...

    It's not that they don't support it. If I lived in the States, they would send me the chip for nothing. But, because I live in Canada, I have to pay for it to be shipped to me and I have to pay for the duty on it when it comes across the border. I don't know about you, but I really don't think...

    first time computer builder problem...help!!*edit(fixed, now same problem again)?

    You can't make ANY adjustments when it's on. The last thing that you want is an arc in your machine and having the whole damn thing fry when trying to FIX something. ALWAYS make sure that you have your machine turned off and the hard switch at the back off before you make ANY adjustments to...

    Can anyone help with intermittent problem of General Protection Faults

    You have any other problems when it comes to your video? The driver that AutoCAD is crashing on is an NVidia driver for your video. I would try reinstalling your video drivers, if that doesn't work check on AutoDesk's site to see if they have a driver specific for your video card or they have a...

    It will only beep if it can get to the POST (Power On Self Test). If a card is not seated in the computer properly and it's grounding it out. Then none of the circuitry in the machine is going to work at all and thus, nothing to power the speaker. That's most likely why you don't hear any beeps...

    Memory you have to have since it's a part of the mobo and populating it. The hard drive you don't have to have connected in order for the mobo to initialize the video. No floppy, no HDD, nothing but the things that are IN the mobo. Then put in your video card and keep reseating it until you get...

    first time computer builder problem...help!!*edit(fixed, now same problem again)?

    Look at all the message that I left. I would take it all out and start at the video card. I'm pretty sure that if the light on the monitor is staying amber (and you know the monitor that you are trying to use works), then it's not initializing the video during the POST routine. start with that.

    I don't mean to be condisending or anything, but your monitor is hooked up yes? If it is then start again. Put one thing in at a time. I would first start with having nothing hooked up in the machine but the video card and the keyboard and see how it goes. Just make SURE that you have all of...

    Please make the Ticking STOP!

    Just wondering if you have tried reinstalling the drivers for your soundcard as of yet? That would be the first thing that I would try. Could be that the drivers that were loaded for your camera have changed some interesting, to say the least, settings in your machine. Start there and see how it...

    Does it make sense to lower core voltage?

    If that's the case and you are not getting any errors when you lower your core voltage, then I would suspect that it is a problem with heat when the processor is heavily utilized. Are you using a stock heat sink from a retail package or just a basic cooling system in your machine? If this is the...

    Here goes... Some of you are going think that I am nuts but I'm going to ask someone out there anyway. I live in TO here in Ontario. I have an A7Pro mobo here with a bad BIOS chip in it. Here's my problem. Asus will not give me a new BIOS chip for it since it was their flash program that...
