    belkin kvm problems

    I've got a 2-computer Belkin PS/2 KVM switch, using a Microsoft Natural PS/2 keyboard. To switch computers you hit scroll lock twice and the up-arrow. It works fine with most computers but recently there have been some that I couldn't toggle back from. I could switch to the computer but couldn't...

    best microATX board to OC a 2400M

    I'm working on putting together my first SFF system and have decided on an Antec Aria case and a 2400 mobile processor. I'd like onboard sound and firewire, but don't need video. What would be a good choice for OC out of the limited microATX selection? So far I've been looking at the shuttle...

    building a silent computer

    I need to build a computer that is almost completely silent from 6 or 7 feet away. I've never had a concern for noise level before so I'm not sure where to start. It won't quite be top of the line, but the best bang for your buck components. Most likely AMD. What would be a good motherboard and...

    need help making 3 computers dead silent

    Is there any reason why I should buy new power supplies instead of just replacing the fans in my exisiting ones? Can anyone recommend some good 80mm case fans that are very quiet, as well as CPU heatsink fans? I think the CPU fans are what make most of the noise now so that's probably what I'll...

    need help picking new cpu/motherboard (P4)

    I haven't upgraded in over a year and haven't been keeping up to date on stuff, plus I haven't owned an Intel since my PII450. So there is just too much information that I'm unsure off. Right now I have an XP1900, 2 256MB crucial PC2700, and a Ti440. I'd like to keep the RAM but will upgrade if...

    power question after formating notebook

    I just formated my new Presario 900Z and put XP pro on it. The amd power now function that lowered my cpu speed no longer works. How do I add this feature again? I noticed the battery life went from roughly 3 hours to 2 hours with this turned off.

    MSI KT3, no onboard RAID with maxtor RAID

    The motherboard is an MSI KT3 Ultra. The onboard raid works fine, but it doesn't show up at all when a Maxtor ATA/133 card is plugged in. Acts like it isn't even there. Do they just not work together?

    kt3 ultra, raid not working

    Are there any known issues with the onboard RAID with the MSI KT3 Ultra? I've updated all of the drivers and it is turned on in BIOS. During boot up it shows nothing about it. I believe, even with no devices detected, it would try and detect devices connected. I've currently got 6 hard drives...

    msi kt3 ultra - raid not showing up during post

    I've only had this board for a few days now - the onboard raid was showing up during post when I first got the board. Now it doesn't seem to work at all. No mention of the drivers during boot up. I've tried clearing the cmos and it is definately not the drives. Any ideas on why it isn't showing up?

    gigabyte 7vrxp problems

    I'm having constant problems with the new system I just put together. It consists of a gygabyte 7vrxp, AMD XP 1800, crucial ram, and a geforce4 4400. First off, I can't even get it to post if I set the CPU fsb to 133. I have it running fairly well at 114 mhz. It is still constantly rebooting on...

    arctic silver question

    I just bought two celeron II 633's that are currently attached to an asus slotket with a thermaltake golden orb as a heaksink. I applied arctic silver between them before I even tested the processors to make sure they work. Neither one works, and I believe it is due to an incompatiable slotket...
