    No Health Care Vote Before August Break

    I think the problem with the bill, the reason it is so massive and vague, stems from the fact that it has to balance public and private concerns of insurance. If it were reform in one or the other it would still be large, but more focused. I don't know what the best current option is for this...

    Verizon DSL slow

    Just to update the tech never found an exact problem. He just stated that everything at the junction box was correct, but once inside something was draining the speed. Since we had vonage he disconnected the extra lines to the house and now it works!? Nothing was connected to any other phone...

    server room AC is maxed out but it's still getting way to hot (socal)

    Let me state that I am not in IT or have any knowlege about servers, but I do know about aerodynamics. I can see humidity affecting cooling a couple ways. First off let me compare a coolng fan in a server to the prop of an airplane. Airplanes are rated for speed and climb at sea level at a...

    Will a mobo boot without ram? / How to test a mobo?

    I dont know what setup you are using to test but also try unplugging all peripherals from the motherboard and see where that gets you. Also if you have a USB keyboard/mouse run through an adaptor for PS/2, just run it on USB. Took me forever to find this problem on my computer. But otherwise the...

    Rigging a Raid Setup

    Sounds like a good plan. I always assumed that windows was running on the inside edge when you look at the defrag graphic with the left being the inside, but I guess its just a stacking graphic. Well, time to start backing up for the install, thanks.

    Rigging a Raid Setup

    Ive got 2GB of USB flash so backups arent a big problem, not something I'd like to deal with though. The 80GB is a few years old, thats why I was hoping for that extra partition space on the newer drive for keeping non-striped data on a newer drive. But if that space wouldnt show up as usable...

    Computer wont POST again!!!!!! Freezes

    Alright, guess I'm slowly figuring it out. Had to raise the DDR voltage(forgot this for AM2) so now I can use the computer basics. But now Im back to where I started, getting BSoD's during multitasking or gaming. Getting stop errors 0x000000f4 and 0x00000077 Kernel stack error. Ran a memtest...

    Computer wont POST again!!!!!! Freezes

    Yea I tried the individual sticks. Going to test them at my friends house tonight. Ive only touched the heatspreaders or the sides when moving the RAM and tried to relieve static through the PSU. Is it that easy to shock a CPU just holding the sides or touching the top? I dont have any friends...

    No POST, Motherboard or Proc?

    Not to steal your thread, but I have this problem, almost the same, with my RMA'ed motherboard. Just installed it and I get the HD LED stuck, fans turn on, and all disk drives self test, nothing after. Although mine will only turn on with the CMOS in reset, dont ask me how I know. Im going to...

    Slightly strange system instabilities

    Does the track light on the mouse turn off? Could be a motherboard problem, check if any other USB devices have similar problems. I know that Abit AM2 motherboards have had some bad USB problems lately, don't know about Asus.

    Think I screwed up!!!! CMOS problem

    Exactly what I was thinking, its like there is a short or crossed line. I wouldn't think it would work at all with the jumper removed either. Ill try removing parts and see what happens, but if I dont get a result I like quickly I'm going to get ABIT to ship me a replacement ASAP before I ship...
