Well, I just finished updating bios driver. Onboard sound doesn't work now but that is so minor compared to an increase in system stability. when everything is worked out tonight and I have joined a team I will let you guys know.
okay typed in a7n8x deluxe (my mobo) and got the right driver and got it loaded up through the asus update on the desktop. Thank you for your help all. Hopefully the computer should be a lot more stable now. If only the onboard sound would work now :-)
okay I know what I did wrong now. I don't know how but I am a serious dumbass sometimes. I downloaded and attempted to load the wrong bios. 1010b is not for an a7n8x deluxe 2.0. Therefore I have messed something up in the bios and this is why my system is so unstable even though my cpu temps...
uh, I am really a n00b here so this may seem dumb but I am not sure. I checked asus probe and checked it out, this is what it told me
Product name a7n8x2.0
version rev 1.00
does this mean I should be using ver 1 and not the ver 2 I have been trying ?
what asus update program...
unplugged mouse, hit f2 nothing happend , Cpu booted normal
I found something about making a boot floppy. I know about the four win2k floppy boot disks to install an O/S but I am not sure what they are talking about here. The Asus intstruction said to go into add/remove programs and choose...
wow assimilator two tips for the price of one .. thank you
I do have a usb mouse so I will try to flash bios again with mouse unplugged.
I will only hit F2 (vice alt + f2 ) and see what happens
When I run everest it tells me that I have revision 2 pcb
Awesome help .. thank you very...
I thought about doing water cooling so that way when I upgraded in a couple years that I wouldn't have to buy a new fan. Or does that logic not make sense ?
yeah you guys are right it is definetly stability related to my settings. I tried something different in prime95. I used benchmarks instead of stress test, my baby goes down faster then a geisha girl when she sees a GI coming her way. It is bad. Crap. I have DDR 400 Fardringle, that is why...
Hello all,
I want to continue to run my A7N8X deluxe for another two years. I am going to be ordering some water cooling when I get my fat rebate check ( that way the wife won't notice until it's too late hehe). I plan on trying to overclock the processor. My question is this : What is...
tried it again and says programs do not match, do you wish to program still, or something very similar. I choose no because this it what it said last night when my system got hung for about six hours in the bios before I rebooted. The funny thing is I don't have the latest bios for a sempron...
You guys are great thanks all for your help.
I reinstalled UD again last night and joined Team Anandtech only to have my CPU crash when the program starts running. Uninstall the program and no crashes.
My system is not overclocked but it is set to manual. I have an Athlon xp 2100+...
let me preface this by saying I have never updated bios before.
I tried to update bios last night. downloaded awdflash.exe and 1010-b to floppy last night, that is all.
Floppy is set to boot first.
Booted up, atl+f2, typed 10 and system started to go.
then it goes to this screen that...
thanks for the info guys, I will be looking into find a drug. Is there anyway to fix it so DC doesn't take 99% cpu time if you are just browsing the internet? it seems to lock up my system sometimes? Thanks again for info
you should check out the Anandtech buyers guide - mid range system Jan05
I think they answer your questionReview
have to be honest here, if anandtech likes it, then I like it too. I AM A SLAVE ;) let the beatings begin
I have noticed that everyone on these boards is really into Seti. I wonder about the cancer research currently being done at Cancer Research. How many people would be interested in doing something like that?
I have already joined myself and I am sure there are others who frequent these...
thanks for link to that discussion. I am basically a gamer. I like to surf the internet, wife sells stamps, and I play games when she lets me. I love my games so basically it sounds like ram timings won't make a difference to me in that arena.
wow, thanks for answering my Q's. since I am AMD not intel (according to your guide) I am only dual pumped not quad pumped. I think I might have confused you on some points, sorry !
I guess how do I work my way down ? If my timings are (hypothetical, I am not at my computer to check my...
A couple of things I forgot to ask
One : that registry tweak on your website, does it work with Athlon's too?
Two : Since I have an XP 2100+ I am looking to upgrade and stay with socket a for approximately two years. I would be able to overclock the processor since I don't intend to keep...
Awesome. This guide helped me to understand more than any google search of overclocking ever did. Really, for you to take the time to write this down for people who don't understand the basics, I really appreciate it. Now that I understand it should be fun to play with my athlon xp 2100+ :-)...
links credited to John P for Armored Assault / Dawn of Aces III / Warbirs III take you to pay site. Free for two weeks then $13.95 a month. Anyone remeber phantasy star for the sega genesis. Man I loved that game. Wasn't that like the first RPG game ever ?
I have a generic power supply 300W and brand new PNY 3200 ddr ram. the power supply is working. Just keep getting that "Cpu is overclocked message" and unable to enter bios to correct that problem. I think that is the real problem, I can't get into the motherboard bios for anything. That is...
Hey guys, Thanks for your interest in helping. I returned both motherboards and cpus to tigerdirect and they said they would not charge restocking fee. I liked that. Yes I tried lots of different configurations to get it to boot as well as reseting/flashing bios. I don't know what the hell...
Yeah I have read over and over that manual just to make sure. My old socket A board is asus too. I am fairly smart, and re-checked and re-checked jumpers. I just can't figure it out. I got return codes but then I am just back where I started, with no computer :-( Thanks for the suggestions...
when I bought my kodak easy share camera, webcam was listed on a feature on the box. Since my mother nor father use IM's, and the main purpose of the webcam would be to see my 16month old boy, I haven't ever bothered to attempt this. I don't use IM at all either. Is there third party software...
I have two pny 512 ddr400 pc3200 sticks I bought to run in dual mode. I have a generic 512 ddr333 pc2700 and 256 ddr333 pc2700. If I run all four of these at the same time will I have problems or according to your post Jeff7 it seems that I would not have a problem at all or am I misundertanding?
Kinda new to forums, posted originally in Mobos section but maybe this belongs here ...
Not sure if this problem is due to distributor, bad hardware or bad luck. Ordered a Asus8V and Athlon 64 3400 + combo from tigerdirect. Excitedly I put the system together and booted. I received "Cpu...
Not sure if this problem is due to distributor, bad hardware or bad luck. Ordered a Asus8V and Athlon 64 3400 + combo for an upgrade over my Socket A. Excitedly I put the system together and booted. I received "Cpu Overclock" error message from Asus Post reporter. So I double checked Asus...
so let me see if I understand what you are saying jterrell. If your motherboard has onboard sata support <like all s939> then you WILL see the speed difference in Sata vs Ide ? do you know of any throughput vs. bandwith tests you could link ? I would appreciate as I have not seen any.
very new so forgive me if I am off the mark here. Video / Mobo's / Cpu's / Cases & cooling all hardware related but Memory, Hard drive nor optical drives have their own threads, I found this weird. I was thinking maybe they should have their own threads too.
maybe you could help me out but I thought that 99.9% of things done on computer hard drives where unable to max out out ata 100 ide. in other words Bandwith was always greater than throughput so what advantage does S-ata have in that case ? that is why I didn't bother buying one. Usually an...
HILLARIOUS .. I laughed long and hard
I would be so excited if my wife would start playing any computer games with me, I would play whatever character complimented her, and I would give her my computer in a heartbeat. Sometimes when we are spoiled we don't know how good we have it.
The money. I believe I can flip the stoic switch on and do anything for a period of time. You can put up with a lot of crap for the money. Besides as long as you don't increase your spending along with the increase in budget you can invest all that extra loot you are making. Just avg 10% on...
Ummm, even if you have it in an encrypted folder, encrypt the files and password protect to the hilt, changer permissions and all that stuff, won't the porn show up if someone does a *.jpeg; *.avi, and especially *.gif search ? Seems the only way to have someone not know what the heck it is to...
