This was a switch from XP home to XP pro. Everything is working but Device Manager says no sound device installed. I am looking for a driver for a ASUS AC97 VIA chipset. Any info would be appreciated.
System
Manufacturer : Compaq Presario 061
Model : PJ518AA-ABA SR1230NX NA440...
The existing driver dates back to 98. 98 tried to find a driver but it cant be identified. I figured getting a Win98 SE upgrade cd might be the best solution.
Any idea what to try?
The strange thing about this is the gateway I have a single gig and a 512 module in says single channel mode in the bios. Sounds like it did not read the threads...
The bios does not say single channel mode currently, so I am wondering if its working both channels or not. I guess I should DL sandra to see what that says. It runs vista fine on 1.5gig, but I think it would be better to have 2 especially if one channel is crippled.

I see these now - I...
System will not resume operation when coming out of standby. Requires a reset-power off/on and then the system displays a
CPU reset due to system overlock message.
Even when system is running at normal clock this problem is experienced. System config has not been changed for 8+ months...
Well, to be accurate, I am not trying to 'fix' all of these right now. We have some customers (on-campus ) at one of the larger Univs, who have complete autonomy over their IT resources and those are the ones I really need to implement THIS solution for ASAP (per the auditors).
I created...
Well, the (probably almost 2 to 3 thousand) desktops I am trying to implement this on are quite widely distributed geographically (as in state wide), and there is NO AD/GPO implementation. These users generally all have admin access (but otherwise, are quite basic in their windows familiarity)...
The registry hack as it is written at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555540 does not seem to do squat for requiring 8 character complex passwords and OR 180 password expiration. I entered it as written (see below), but it still allows just about whatever the local security policy is set for...
All indications are that the 'problem' has something to do with firefox being started for both users. When I used IE for the generic user session and navigated to these same websites, the problem is not experienced.
Now, any time the second user (a general user account with NO admin privs) is logged in and the system is switched back to the admin account, the thing reboots.
Any ideas?
The machine has been sitting in a closet and had win 98. I added a pcmcia wireless and got the memory up to 192meg but it still has no sound. I think it needs an update to >9.0 bios for Win2K support. But the toshiba instructions seem to indicate I should have done the flash before trying the 2k...

I cant even create a new folder after this happens. Its been tried on 3 machines - using both SD card readers and also builtin slots. The files are on a thumb drive and total about 300 meg. But the cards are 1gig. Iv also tried two separate cards and they both have the same problem when getting...
Well, its debatable what it saves. Since most systems can pull very minimal current in standby or certainly in hibernate, the cost could be the frequent power up and down in terms of hardware durability. I also prefer to resume the apps/files that I had previously opened and started work in...
Can anybody offer any suggestions on getting this thing more quiet in standby mode? All fans continue to run - no change in noise level.
I does stop the HD from what I can tell.
I did try another bios from the vendor a while back and I had to reinstall bc it hosed up the format on the...
can anybody recommend any good data recovery SW? - Theres a couple of TXT files I was working on for work that I would like to try to get back.
Even if its limited to 10 for the demo I think that would be ok.
Well, I tried installing Windows on the IDE drive and getting the data off of the sata before I installed windows on it - NO GO. Unrecognized format for SATA - even systemworks wont access the drive. I guess I get to format it. :/
So much for that data.
No options exist in bios for selecting sata mode - the MB is the base model with no RAID feature.
I copied the ICH8 files from the biostar utilities CD to a floppy. Later in the windows setup (when loading from windows CD), it did prompt me to load external drivers. I did that and setup...

Bios was flashed to p96ba403.bst per vendor when I mentioned that the system did not appear to go into power save mode.
The system came up initially and I shut it back down to remove the floppy drive (NO USB) and close case up.
When it...
I have tried disabling and reenabling the controller for the rear panel USB ports via device manager. Nothing. The same device works fine on the wired front panel ports.
The vendor says I have to return the motherboard for replacement - WTF? - Any ideas?
thanks
Yep, it was still showing x6 even in othos - selected load optimized defaults in bios and now its back to x7 again (even at light loads.. but better than before). Im happy now.
thanks
Well, this seemed to happen when I had reflashed bios (per vendor) to address the problem in

Ever since, it seems to stay at x6. I looked in bios and I cant find anything about locking out SS :/
thanks
I have the fsb at 300 and that should be about 2.1gighz. But the various monitors say 1.8gig (cpu-z) and core temp says 1.995 (with a 333?fsb). Voltage seems to say at 1.003 in cpuz.
The system halts operation with a long beep after presenting the windows XP desktop. I get a message on the bios that says sys halt due to overclock. However, there are no overclock settings selected in the bios. I am using normal operation. I had been using the V6 automatic overclock for about...
It runs ok with V8 settings. Temps seem to be 115/111 at idle. I never have seen it get above about 130 even at full utilization. Case has 120mm intake and exhaust fans in addition to a side CPU fan. Currently running a stock cpu cooler.
I tried pushing the FSB to 280 this morning and it...
Yep, just got the non deluxe from newegg myself.
E6300 (currently factory clocked) - 2gig ocz memory - evga 7600gt card and WG1600JJAS sata 2 drive. With Thermaltake 3fan case and antec 400PS i probably have about 720 in it. (edited from the original $ of 700)
Temp is about 29c on the...
