    Internet slows down exponentially when router is REMOVED!?!?!?!

    Old router is a Linksys BEFSR41 New router is a US Robotics Wireless G router Reason im switching is because i wanted a wireless network. Just so happened that i noticed the ridiculously slow speeds of the new router, and then tried a direct connection as well, which went equally as slow.

    Internet slows down exponentially when router is REMOVED!?!?!?!

    Im having this very strange problem, where when i remove the router from my network, my internet performs at about 1/5 the normal speed. It does this for every computer on my network. The reason im writing this is because i recently purchased a new router, and noticed that internet was...

    A8V Deluxe ultra-slow booting

    So i just got an Asus A8V Deluxe with a socket 939 3200+. All is working well so far... except the boot process is TERRIBLY long. I have quick boot enabled, and logo disabled. I have the SATA bootROM disabled as i am using the promise controller. Here's what is happening though. After the first...

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    Noticed something really strange... sometimes the comp will just randomly work upon restarting it. This is why i thought certain things were fixed the issue before because the comp was working fine, only to find out later on that once i restarted it, they were back again... that said, i can no...

    If worse comes to worse I will try swapping the harddrive, or even motherboard... since nothing else seems to fix it :(

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    I have tried setting aperature size to 128mb and 256mb, I am currently running the most recent WHQL certified drivers (whql drivers should not be bugged at all) but I have also tried some old 61.xx drivers. Plus I have tried an entirely different video card as well...

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    Ok I checked the log, the only error it has logged within the past 3 days is one on Nov. 22, however it does this every few minutes, so that doesnt seem to be an accurate indicator. One interesting thing though. I tried formatting the comp, and it worked great for a couple days straight... then...

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    ok i removed the audigy 2 card, but was not able to get the onboard sound to work... i must have missed something, because the comptuer didnt not recognize that i had any sound device running (volume controls were greyed out, etc.) I thought the option to enable onboard audio was in the BIOS. I...

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    hehe ok, I've tried another video card as well, so its not the fact that it's an nvidia ;) I have updated the bios to the most recent version (1006) My system has always run at very good temps, so i dont think it could be heat damage Hmmm, havnt looked at the PSU yet, but i just bought...

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    Yah i thought that at first too. The airflow is very good, and temperatures are very good too. system temp: 30° cpu temp 39° GPU temp 59° (threshold was set at 120° by default, so im assuming 59° is normal for a GPU) I have two intake fans on the front, outtake on the back and top.

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    No, I bought the system already built. Yes, I have a Geforce FX 6800 GT, which requires power from the PSU. It is connected using a single connector. And my PSU is an OCZ Powerstream 520w... there shouldnt be a problem there, unless the voltages are improperly conifgured or something? But...

    Crazy problem: who thinks they can help me?!?!?!?!

    Ok so I got this new computer a couple months ago, and ever since I got it, it always locks up during graphically intense applications for about 10 seconds, then it will suddenly start working fine again. It does this pretty randomly - about every 1-30 minutes. It is a hard lockup, The sound...
