Thanks Dan for that reply. I have ran Memtest86 for the longest, probably about 5 hours. I checked the Event Viewer, and since I can't pinpoint the time that the last reset was, I can't give accurate information. But I can tell you this: The Event Viewer doesn't have any errors yesterday when I got ...

Okay folks, It's probably got a dumb question, but hopefully you folks could clear the tunnel for me and shed some light on this. I recently put another Gig of memory into my custom built computer (I had 1GB in it already of 2 512MB Corsair sticks). the Gig that I just recently put in was also the s...

count me in!

oh that sounds like a good idea....i'll try that tonight.

Thanks!

Yeah, i tested a few game CDs, and a DVD, and none of them worked. And it is a DVD ROM as well.

My CD ROM, which is a Samsung and its a CD-RW, is having some problems. I just build a new rig and I used the drive to install XP and it read that CD fine, but now that I'm all set up, the drive won't read my driver discs or anything else that I put in it. It will however, read the Win XP disk if I ...

well, it looks like i'll just go pick up a new hard drive then and not even mess with the crappy one that i was gonna put in there. Well, thanks for all the help you guys have given me. If I have any problems with the new hard drive and the new build, you'll be the first to know. :) Thanks, Robert

darkstar, I wish I was able to get to the point of seeing the bios, but right now its not registering anything to the monitor. My keyboard and mouse is not even lighting up. Okay, here is another thought. The only reason I want to get my computer back up and running is so I can format my hard drive ...

Here is what I went through to clear the CMOS: 1. Turned off the computer 2. Unplugged from wall 3. Took out Battery 4. Took out Jumper. 5. Waited for about 2-5 minutes, cant remember exactly how long. 6. Replaced Jumper 7. Replaced Battery 8. Plugged back into wall 9. Turned on computer Since this ...

well, i tried to clear my CMOS and I think I messed it up even more. Now when I hit the POWER button, everything turns on and then two seconds later a long BEEEEP and then 1 second later the whole system shuts down. Anyone have any opinions?

As always, thanks in advance,

Robert

alright, sounds good....i'll let you know how things turn out tomorrow...i'll do it tonight, then let you guys know about the results tomorrow....thanks for all your help!!! Its great appreciated!

Thanks,
Robert

The only thing I am having a problem with is that I don't know WHERE the cmos jumper or battery in on my mobo. Its the ASUS A7V, but I can't remember if there is anything after A7V or not, but I don't think so, and the manual on asus's website doesn't have a callout for anything that has to do with ...

Well, that sucks, cause I don't have documentation...damn. Well, I'll try to look up a manual online or something, but its an old ASUS A7V.

Alright, I have two questions now, what is the CMOS reset jumer and how do I reset the BIOS?

hello all, I got myself in a little situation. Last night I was going to format my Hard Drive the only way I know how (Use the WinXP disk and just do a clean install of it). If you know a better way, please tell. Well, I went into BIOS to change the boot arrangement to boot from the CD Drive so it w...

okay, sounds good. Thanks for your help. Would you know where there are writeups on this type of thing or not? Thanks for your replys and I'll post here again if I have any problems.

Robert

okay, so your saying that I should back up all my info and then format my drive and then start up the computer with a fresh hard drive?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hey all, I have purched these following computer parts for my first computer build and now I need some help. Please let me know what you think. -LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WSL Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 480W Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811148029 ...

Great reply's on systems, I really like both of the above setups. The power supply I have now I don't really know anything about it, when I get home I will look at it and see if I can't figure out what it is. I want to say that its a 350W. I like the idea of getting a new case as well, since the one...

Hello all, I have NEVER built a system in my life, so I want some help from the experts. I want to build a budget computer but I only need the mobo, cpu, and memory. I have an older computer (5 1/2 years old) that has some parts that I can already use to save some $$. Below is a list of what I do ha...
