its onboard the gigabyte GA-8irxp Creative 128 with a sigmatel codec I thought it was unlikely to have blown the inputs, its certainly never happened before even with a full hifi wired in. But for some reason I am suddenly unable to capture any audio. I've checked recording source, volumes...

Hi I've been trying to record my old cassettes onto the computer so that I can turn them into CDs. So I had the cassette player plugged into the line-in and I could hear the music on that channel so I know there was a signal. I had the recording source set right and nothing was muted, but the...

Coming from the british tradition of a welfare state I can very quickly identify four justifications for providing a basic minimum standard of living for those not currently in work. (1) We live at a time when enterprises are at liberty to dismiss their employees on minimal notice in order to...

Just had a look at the coolermaster desktop cases, black aluminium, fold down doors for drive access. Desktop cases have really come on since my last one, an old elonex 386. I wondered whether anyone else was tempted to switch back?

What happens if you install a cpu with a higher mulitplier than the motherboard officially supports? It's set by the cpu right....so presumably it will either boot at the expected speed or not at all. Has anyone had any experience with recent P4 gigabyte boards like the ga8 series? cheers

life imprisonment sounds like the appropriate solution because while the guy is incapacitated he cannot commit similar crimes in the future. He sounds a dangerous type to have in society. Having said that I think one should be hesitant to assume he 'deserves' such a sentence or even capital...

i will try it in safe mode to see what difference it makes...but for now i am pretty sure it is the monitor because a solid punch fixes it for a while. thank you for your prompt replies.

Hi Will Have already disabled all the power management features in case that was the problem. I will double check the bios to be sure though, thanks.. could it be anything else?

Hi - I have a problem with the onboard video on the PcChips 810 mobo (sis730 chipset) where the picture on the monitor disappears randomly - i am left with a black screen. The only way to get the picture back is to restart the pc. The strange thing is that there is still a signal to the...

wow thats very impressive..does it do overburn too? 800mb ?

Hi - ive got an 810LMR and with that you have to press del repeatedly the very second you turn the pc on until you get the bios screen up. If you wait until the little message about pressing del it is too late. You've probably tried that already though ??

i've flashed 5 boards and the best advice i can give is to get hold of, read and follow the instructions from ABIT. The only flash that went bad for me was when the instructions were in Taiwanese....POXY PC CHIPS BOARDS!!!

If I plug a usb device (mice, camera etc) into my mobo (PC CHIPS M810lmr) windows XP reports an error installing the device. Has anyone else had problems with their SIS 7001 USB controller and windows XP? If so how did you solve it?

Warcon - I understood that the Halt On Error setting was solely concerned with the POST, (for instance the computer would fail to post if no keyboard were detected) in which case having booted there would be no question of the system halting. Another possibility would be memory gone bad, can...
