I've got a new AMD approved 300 watt PS, a new K7VZA mobo with a 1GHZ Tbird and a new Volcano II fan. It runs stable. It's fine. The only thing is that depending on my activity, I can hear the fan speed up or slow down. Is this normal?

Anyone?

This is strange. I have a 1 Ghz Tbird (K7S5A, 256 PC-133, 20 Gig HD, ATI Xpert 2000, 16X CD burner, Win 98FE 300 Watt AMD Approved PS). I bought a Volcano HSF to replace my Coolermaster (actually, I got the fan for a second computer I was going to build but decided to put it on my Tbird). In the...

I got a new HSF tonight and went to install it on my 1 GHZ Tbird in a K7S5A mobo. Well, the screwdriver slipped and I hit the mobo with it. I held my breath. The new HSF was on but I was leery. I powered up the system and the fan spun, my CDROM showed activity but never got anything on the...

I've got a 1 Gig Tbird on a K7S5A with 256MB PNY PC133 in one DIMM slot (the right one). Whatever I put in the left slot causes lockups. I've used three different brands of ram in the left one and within minutes, my screen is frozen. Anyone have any ideas? The system runs great as it is. It's...

Bought a K7S5A from Newegg. Installed it with a 1000 mhz Tbird and it's been running fine for three weeks now. The problems: The ram slots are the tightest I've ever seen on a mobo. You have to apply a lot of pressure to get those puppies in there. The only real problem I've had with it is my...

I just bought this same board. First time I booted, I got eight beeps. Reseated my video card and that did the trick. Now if I can just stop it from freezing up on me....

Yeah, I've tried resetting the router. When the router isn't hooked up, yeah, I get online just fine. :D Okay, I checked my IP address with winipcfg and my IP address is nowhere close to 192.168.1.XXX. Just looked in the manual and it says my address has to be within the default range of...

Tried uninstalling / reinstalling TCP/IP. No difference. Checked all the cables. The cables are fine. Still can't connect. What are the odds of buying a defective router? I might add that I bought the router from Fry's, so the odds shoot up dramatically. :o

Just got a Linksys BEFSR11 Router. I've got two networked computers (Windows 98) with a Westell Wirespeed DSL modem (PacBell DSL with Enternet 300 PPPoE). I hooked all the hardware up the way it's supposed to go. The manual says to disable PPPoE. I did that. Then, it says to type in...

This should be a simple question for those of you with routers. I've got two networked computers. I have PacBell DSL with Enternet 300 PPPOE. Just bought a Linksys Model BEFSR11 router. Hooked it up to my DSL modem and hub. Everything is fine. Here's where things get complicated. I can't...

This is the 8KTA+ with the KT133 chipset. The board you have is identical except for the ATA100 support, I believe. The voltage is default voltage, which shows as 1.63 volts. That could very well be the cause of the rebooting as it gets into Windows. I'll bump it up. But the no icon problem is...

The Vet stuff is the antivirus program. This happens at the default clock speed and it happens on my girlfriend's computer, which isn't overclocked. I'm going to try running it minus some things in the startup like you suggested. I'm going to uninstall the virus program and run it for awhile and...

Thanks for the replies! I don't believe it's ram related since I've tried three different sticks in my computer and the problem hasn't changed. Plus, that would mean the ram would be faulty in BOTH computers. Unlikely. I have the latest BIOS for the 8KTA+. I've checked for conflicts and have...

I've posted this several times but haven't gotten much help. Hopefully someone has seen a problem like this. Sometimes my computer (Epox 8KTA+ Duron 700*800, 128MB PC133 Micron, 5400RPM 20 gig, 32X CD, CDRW, 56K modem, ATI Xpert 2000, Linksys NIC, Windows 98FE) reboots spontaneously upon bootup...
