Problem Solved! I was right it was a bad motherboard. Man it's just my luck that I get a bad motherboard. Oh well, thanks for everyones help.

Did any of the suggestions work? Try the next suggestion if the others don't work. Another suggestion is try putting the CDRW on slave on the primary IDE and see what happens.

Make sure the drive letter isn't taken by another drive. For instance if you have D: and F: drive letters being used, the external might be trying to use one of those drive letters. But since they are taken, will not show up in my computer. To check this do the following. -Right Click My...

Try to install other programs and see what happens. Is the VS disk damaged? Uusally the bad block issue is a damaged disk or a dirty laser. 1. Check the media make sure it's not dirty or damaged. 2. Try to get a laser cleaner disk. They are like 10 bucks. 3. Make sure all the...

Well just to update everyone, I went ahead and RMA'd the Motherboard. I changed everyone single part of the computer and the only thing that I didn't change was the board. So the new board should be here in a few days. Hopefully this one will work. Thanks for all your hope guys!

Tweaker2- -Checked the bios and it did recongize my Lite-On DVD-RW. -As for the bios, it's pretty standard. Everything in there is standard configuration. Fuzzynavel- -DVD-RW and and CD-R burner are on the secondary ide channel. -I'll probably try to swap out the power supply and...

Nope, I have no security problems. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue. I'm just not sure which part is having the problem. I'm not sure if it's power supply, cpu or some of the new parts I got. I'm behind a nat, firewall, sp2 and NAV, plus i've reinstalled the OS and started fresh...

Meltdown75- -Yes I did reformat and then reinstall the OS. -As for the hard drive, I'm pretty sure it's ok. It's running, no weird noises and I can install programs and the OS. -As for the RAM what I meant was setting it at 133 mhz (doubled to get 266). -Power Supply is Enlight...

Yes resetting the ram is taking it out and putting it back in. I'm still banking on the bad power supply or video card. If you can test those and they come back ok, then i'd start thinking about about RMAing the MOBO again. I love newegg, but I've gotten some bad parts and they replaced...

Have you tried stripping down your system to the basics? I.e. CPU, one stick of memory and Video card? Do you have another video card you can try? To me it sounds like it could be the video card or the power supply? Even though it's new, you could have gotten a bad one. Also try...

Hi everyone- Could really use some help on this issue. Recently I ordered some parts to fix and repair my computer. I had to replace the MOBO, Memory, Video Card and DVD-ROM. After I got all the parts in the system seem to work alright. I went ahead and installed the drivers and got...

huesmann Reformating is my last option, just wondering if people had any ideas of what's causing it. MechBgon I have done all that and it's still slow. Anyone else have any tips or advice?

Hi everyone- For some reason my computer feels really slow. I don't know there is something wrong or I need to do something about it. Every I open a program or load a movie through WMP the computer slows down with the mouse cursor all slowing and studdering over the screen. I'm not even...

Hi everyone- I am running a windows 2000 professional OS and my problem is that when ever I open say "My Computer" and on the sidebar there are hyperlinks or shortcuts to "my document", "My Network place" and so on, the links won't work. When you click on the links they don't go nowhere...

I will check on that cheetahmk2. But the screen doesn't go black like "squeegee" across the screen. It acutally dims itself to the point where you can no longer see it. Then there is the flickering problem. But I will check to see if it's stickly switch. Hope that's it. Thanks for the tip.
