    I'm another one without minidump files created

    Thanks for that info, I'll install those drivers now. I update my graphic drivers quite often, so Nvidia is certainly a possibility for the BSODs and freeze ups. Latest Kaspersky version is also a possibility, I might try going back to last year's version if it still continues. I'd still like...

    I'm another one without minidump files created

    I have the computer set to not restart on its own, so if it's a BSOD and not a lockup, I sometimes catch the error numbers, but they're usually different. The one I had last night was IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A and I could see the full screen. Often though the top part scrolls past so I...

    I'm another one without minidump files created

    My pagefile is managed by Windows and is on the C: drive, also visually confirmed there is a pagefile.sys where it should be. I don't use any Samsung Magician software on my system, but if that's for SSD drives, I don't have any, just old fashioned Western Digital 2 TB SATA drives.

    I'm another one without minidump files created

    I've been getting a few BSODs lately that started after several Windows updates. But in trying to pinpoint what might be causing it, I never get a file written to the Minidump directory anymore. I've tried changing the location to store the files thinking it might be some odd permission thing...

    Poll: Most annoying song in a commerical

    My vote isn't in the poll, it's the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter jingle where she sounds like a friggin' chipmunk. I can't reach the remote fast enough to hit mute when that commercial comes on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbLuE3K8Lxg

    How to get rid of a non-existent network adapter?

    Yes, as I said in the OP, the only network adapter shown in the Device Manager is the correct Realtek one. Nothing else is there, and no yellow exclamation points anywhere. Also in the error message, you'll note that it even states there that the odd network adapter "is hidden from the Network...

    Can someone upload a large file to this FTP for me?

    I used to have this exact problem with my isp, Earthlink, where I could never upload anything other than tiny files without it timing out. The problem was the MTU setting needed to be changed from 1500 to 1492. You might try it (or the reverse if you're already at 1492) if nothing else is...

    How to get rid of a non-existent network adapter?

    I have an Asus M4A78 Plus motherboard with a Realtek network adapter built in. My connection properties shows the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller from the motherboard properly set up as the network adapter. Whenever I need to set the manual configuration to assign the IP for this machine...

    Power supply fan shuts off, M2N-SLI-Deluxe

    Good idea to call Antec just as another double check, which I did this morning before calling Asus. Antec said there's no program or setting that would totally shut off the fan in the power supply. They also confirmed that the Neopower will vary the fan speed, but will never totally shut off...

    Power supply fan shuts off, M2N-SLI-Deluxe

    I have a NeoPower 550W installed in my 2nd PC so turned on PC Probe and watching its behavior. While the rpms will fluctuate as the system does more and heats up more, it never shuts off completely. Last night while playing an online game, PC Probe went off that the motherboard temp was...

    Power supply fan shuts off, M2N-SLI-Deluxe

    I only swapped the LED connectors around to rule out that it was simply a defective LED. They are wired correctly though since the green LED light always was on before whenever the PC was on. And now that you brought it up, I'm not sure how PCProbe knows the speed of the power fan without...

    Power supply fan shuts off, M2N-SLI-Deluxe

    If it was a normal function of the fan, sooner or later the fan would have to turn on, especially during the summer heat (I don't have AC in the room with the computers). I've been keeping PCProbe running to monitor it, and the fan in the power supply *never* comes on, it stays at 0 rpm. Today...

    Power supply fan shuts off, M2N-SLI-Deluxe

    This system was put together almost 2 months ago. A few days ago I noticed the green LED light for power wasn't on and the power supply fan wasn't turning. On reboot I could hear the power supply fan turning on momentarily, and then turning off while the computer booted up. The computer...

    Asus A7N8X-X

    Whenever I use the mic for anything, programs like Teamspeak, Skype, even trying Sound Recorder, there's a very annoying loud hum in the background with my voice. This is a new installation, newest bios and sound drivers installed. I've switched mics, I've played with adjusting recording...

    TI4600 running at 2xAGP

    EQ won't play though with it running at 2xAGP. Perhaps it's some other issue then and not related to 2x vs. 4X AGP? In which case possibly WinXP might show some improvement? The mobo is really crappy as I said. The choices are PCI or Onboard AGP, board will auto select the AGP card...

    TI4600 running at 2xAGP

    I recently installed my MSI TI4600 4xAGP 128 ram video in my 2nd box, which I'll admit is a crappy motherboard, PCChips M810LMR. The mobo does support 4xAGP though. I've been using the PCChips for a 2nd computer to play EQ and it has been remarkably great running with just the onboard sound...

    FX5700LE 256MB vs. TI4600 128MB

    Thanks for the info. Will wait and see what the 6600 cards will be and get either that or a 6800, although I'm leaning towards the 6800 atm. Thanks again.

    FX5700LE 256MB vs. TI4600 128MB

    I'm looking to upgrade my video card (will swap the TI4600 into another box still using onboard video chip) and wondering if the FX5700LE 256MB 8x AGP would indeed be any upgrade over the TI4600 128MB 4x AGP. While I would love to just get the 6800 GT, it's beyond my price range, and I've...

    SATA drive problem on A7N8X Dx mobo

    @^$)%! I decided to swap out the cable to the serial drive with another thinking it might be defective, and while I had the drive pulled out, I removed the jumper pin entirely rather than having it sit in the neutral position from the serial drive. AND I'M REBOOTING!! I really think it was the...

    SATA drive problem on A7N8X Dx mobo

    I have a new Asus A7N8X Deluxe v 2.0 motherboard set up with a 120GB SATA serial drive as the boot drive, 40GB IDE drive as a 2nd drive on IDE channel 1, a DVD drive and CD-RW drive on IDE channel 2. Set up with the serial drive as the boot drive, I cannot do a warm reboot on the system ever...

    Serial Harddrives

    Ok, I'm not getting anywhere with doing this, probably need a certain sequence to happen. I have the Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo newly installed (with AMD 2500+XP). Currently I have 2 harddrives on IDE Channel 1 (40 GB master, 13 GB slave), and a DVD and CD-RW on IDE Channel 2. SATA jumper is set...

    *** Official ASUS A7N8X/Deluxe (nForce2) Thread ***

    When you boot up, the line right after the memory check should tell you you're running in Dual Channel. If not, it's probably that you have the memory in the wrong slots. Use slots 1 and 3, or slots 2 and 3 (I used 2 and 3, both are blue) to take advantage of Dual Channel.

    Serial Harddrives

    Thanks. Have one more question. Is there a utility that will do a mirror copy of a harddrive onto a new drive of all the drivers, system files, etc. so you won't have to reinstall everything again? When I ordered the serial drive, they acccidentally shipped the ATA instead, so instead of...

    Serial Harddrives

    Doh that's right, that was worded wrong. There are 2 Sata connectors on the mobo, plus the 2 IDE. So is it possible to have one harddrive connected to the primary SATA channel, and the 2nd one connected to the primary IDE channel? So the dvd and cdrw drives would be on the 2nd IDE channel...

    Check out the Microtek ScanMaker 4800. Flatbed, up to 2400x1200 dpi, can scan slides also with a special attachment that came with it. I paid $89 maybe 6 months ago, I would imagine you can pick it up for a bit less now with some shopping. http://www.microtekusa.com/sm4800.html The 4900...

    Serial Harddrives

    I'm installing the Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo and putting in a 120GB serial drive. Can I also have an EIDE drive hooked to that as a slave on the same IDE channel (and take advantage of the serial connection to the 120GB)? The second IDE channel will have the dvd and cdrw drives on it. Thanks.
