    So who likes a good challenge? Step inside

    Thanks for that one, I forgot about Dr. Watson. However, the last thing dated in there is from 2/21/05. I think where I'll go from here is run it for at least a month and see if I have anymore reboots. I actually went into the bios and set the ram voltage at 2.6V from the "auto" setting...

    It's just a basic NTFS disk....my backup just consisted of copying files on that disk, no official way of backing up. I have done this countless times before, but never with a disk this size..usually 40gb disks or such and never had an issue before. Could this be a size issue? Am I totally...

    *** Official ASUS K8V/DELUXE (K8T800) Thread ***

    Does anyone know where the mobo temp sensor is on this thing? My mobo reports temps equal to or higher than my CPU, and my CPU hovers around 34C. Mobo is usually around 35C. I don't think this is any indication of my case temp, because the side panels of my case are cold to the touch. My...
