nope, everything is on default settings. Mobo bios is updated to latest version on the website. I didn't touch any of the speed settings in the mb bios at all either.
thanks for the fast reply guys...hmmm...so a bad video card or memory can just shut down a computer under load?
what do you mean by resetting the ram? just taking it out and putting it back in?
here's the powersupply i got from newegg
COOLMAX 400W CX-400B, BLACK, Taurus CX Series Silent...
I'm wondering what would cause a computer to just automatically shut down?
My old Chaintech VNF3-250 was busted and so i got a new one RMAed from chaintech. I also got a brand new powersupply from newegg just in case it was my old powersupply that busted the motherboard before.
So now...
I have an ATI 9800 Pro.
chaintech VNF3-250 MB
AMD 64 2800
1 gig ram
Problem:
My mb got busted so I rma'ed for a new mb (same kind) and then got a new powersupply.
I reformated my computer.
installed nvidia drivers for mb. ok.
After I install catalyst drivers for videocard...
Ok...I just reformatted my computer and now things seem to run a lot slower. I'm guessing it's maybe a videocard or monitor problem.
I have an all in wonder radeon 8500 with the latest catalyst from ati.com.
sylvania flat screen monitor.
Problem: whenever clicking or opening a new window...

NOW i have a fully running barton 2500+...i dont know wtf i had before...but it sure did go slow...i thought it was just me...or that i was asking for too much speed...
that patch really cleaned things up...man that was ugly...

thanks for the help guys!!
Yes, I am running winXP SP1.
I will try the patch that dapunisher suggested.
but there's also this:
Windows HotFix Not So Hot
also..can you tell me more about the SW IDE drivers?
well my friend told me that the same lag problem happens for him in winXP too...
man..i forgot one thing though...the administrative services in winXP!! Gotta turn some of those useless ones off...is there a list somewhere online that tells you what can be turned off safely and what should be...
i got a maxtor 7200 ata 133 40 gig as my main drive with my OS and programs. For other things like music and movies i got a seagate 7200 80 gig. How would those be slowing things down? are there any tweaks or ways to fix it?
I got a barton 2500+ with 512 pc 3200 kingston hyperx ram. THey are running in sync 100%.
In windows XP...when i click around sometimes it seems to lag..like i'd right click on an item and it may take a while to show up...or even the start menu may lag...and desktop icons refresh slowly after...
Right now i have
Asus A7N8X deluxe 2.0
amd barton 2500+ sk-7 air cooled
kingston 512 pc3200 hyperx
I'm thinking about getting another motherboard...maybe the rev 2.0 abit NF7-S
Why? because my MB stinks at overclocking...can't get to 200...cant even get it to 2100mhz
and theres a lot of...
is there a chipset voltage setting on the a7n8x bios? I know theres the vcore, the vdimm, and the volt agp settings...wheres the chipset voltage? and whats safe to turn that up to?
well i heard about cutting the 3rd L12 bridge on the chip but i have no idea how to do it...i know theres cutting and something else using a battery...but i havent found any good walk throughs at all on how to cut that bridge...
well see the thing is it wont even get to 200
200x10 @ 1.85 vcore Prime95 fails in less than a minute...I don't really want to go above 1.85...so i guess i wont be getting the most out of my ram...much less my first overclocking experience...
well...i just spent 30 bucks on the HSF...i was hoping the temp would be about 5C less...but so yah...it does seem pretty high huh? maybe i'll try to reapply the AS3 and the heatsink
i got
AMD 2500+ barton
Asus A7N8X delux rev 2.0
512 kingston hyperx 3200
SK-7 heatsink with YS tech adjustable fan running at the fastest setting
I'm a newbie at overclocking and not having a very good time doing it...can't seem to get it very high and Prime95 keeps giving me errors...
Ok...here's what happened...got a new hsf for an AMD 2000+ installed wrong...the groove didnt fit right for the socket A..it didnt go down all the way so there was no connection with the cpu and heatsink...yes dumb...ok we know that it was bad...now let's see what the damage is...
after it was...
I'm so depressed.....I have an ATI 9500 pro overclocked...was working fine with the cat 3.2....then i uninstalled....and reinstalled the cat 3.4...now when i get into windows i have black dots all over.... =( what to do...
I'm a noob at overclocking and i've been reading about people changing their FSB's to different values...but in my bios it seems i can only change it to 100/133/166/200. How do people get FSB values of 180 and stuff like that? thanks...
my barton 2500 is a disappointment.....can't get it to...
Hey guys,
I have an AMD Barton 2500+ in an Asus A7N8X.
I'm planning to get 2 sticks of Kingston HyperX 512mb.
I don't know which ones though...the 2700 or the 3200???
I'm already sure i'm going to get the 2 sticks of 512 hyperx...i'm getting them for a good price...so now I just need to...
same problem...hope to get help as well.
I have a geforce 4 ti 4200, not O/Ced. When i start warcraft 3...in less than a minute the whole screen would go crazy. Rainbow colors...just colors everywhere...the sound still works..so I'm pretty sure its the videocard? Any fixes or just a bad card?
I didn't mean that nvidia makes the ati cards run worse, but that the nforce2 enhances nvidia cards. ..hehe..misunderstanding...I was wondering like for example...would a geforce ti 4200 run better on an nforce2 board in anyway? My friend says that it will so don't get an ati card cuz nvidia...
