Finally saying goodbye to my old k7master with 1200mhz t-bird. I might still keep it running as a backup. It's been my wifes computer for about 4 years, but her needs have increased so I will be...

Hello, I know this may be an old subject, but ever since building my new system I have been getting the datacache.dll error crash with hl2. My solution was to pull 1 stick of ram so dual channel was...

Old post, but i recently had the datacache.dll error. It appears to be caused by dual channel ram. I pulled 1 stick and had just 512mb in and it's been working fine. I'm going to swap the sticks to...

Here's the situation, my cable modem Motorola SB4200 would intermittantly shut down after sitting idle for a while. After searching around I found that updating firmware will correct or seriously...

Try reapplying your hsf. I had that happen once and reseating the hsf worked.

Might want to check out NV silencer too. I just put one on my 6800gt and got about 19C difference. used to idle around 69, now about 50. I haven't seen it go beyond 58 in games.

Not sure about laptops, but with regular wd drives, if its the only drive on an ATA connection, all jumpers must be removed. Also I'd look at power saving features and disable the "turn off hard...

With older motherboards, htey do not have the button battery for cmoss. They usually have a rechargable battery soldered onto the motherboard. The one i have looks like a small phone battery. Look...

Thanks, I didn;t realize it was a realtek sound chip. I found the cd and its working great

I'm building a comp for a friend with this board and am trying to use the onboard sound. It is enabled in the bios (auto). windows detected it on install, but I can't seem to find a driver for it. I...

I had a msi nf1 415pro that after 2 years just about every green cap was bulged or leaking. I didn't notice any problems until i tried to put a new vid card in and it wouldn't run. Thankfully MSI...

What motherboard are you running?? I'd be willing to bet it's an NF3 right?? sorry just read the previous post. There is a known issue with that game and nf3/6800. I read at nvnews that somewhere...

How does this work?? I updated to bios 1.5 on my board (see sig) set to auto in bios, acpi enabled. It doesn't show up anywhere. how do i turn it on?
BTW, board is running great no problems at all....

Yea I thought about that. Ubfortunately dell no longer makes the same motherboard. I was thinking maybe of replacing the hdd with a bigger one then copying the old hd contents into a separate...

Heres the sit: friends dell got struck by lightning and fried all pci slots. It's a pentium 4 1.6gig system. graphics , mem hdd cdrw are fine.. I copied his hdd (yes bootable just like the original)...

After all ive been reading about problems with msi/asus/abit kt8pro boards, I opted for the soltek kt8pro matched with an AMD64 4000+ sandy. Just got it up and running tonight and man is it fast. I...

I just got a a64 koolance adaptor for my CPU H306 waterblock. It came with plastic spacers on each screw. It appears that they go on the top side of the mobo socket not underneath right? Just wanted...

I'm planning on upgrading to an a64 platform. I have a BFG6800GT OC -agp, will probably use a san diego 4000+ cpu, 1mb corsair XMS pc3200. I really wanted to stay away from via chipsets due to...

NO, not the cable that goes to the printer, the rear jack (wide pink one) on most mobos that the cable plugs into. the soltek doesn't have the jack, you have to use a motherboard header cable similar...

Thanks for the info. It's strange that HL2 runs in DX9. I just tried the 77.72 drivers. they are ok, but i may go back to 71.89.

Yea that's what i thought. That is just silly. lol!! Because of that I'm looking at MSI or Abit baords with the same chipset. Leaning towards the Abit at this point.

Anybody have this board and did it come with the cable for the printer port?? I do need it badly for what I do. Thanks.

Here's my situation. I currently have a AXP3000+ barton running on a k7n2delta2. I may be selling the board, cpu, and ram to another person that I'm building a comp for. I would like to get a A64...

I bought this card to play hl2. It;s definately a dx9 card, so why does my video option say its running hardware 8.1 and software 9.0?? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks

I recently had a problem with a dual proc server box that i put together that was shipped from PA to IL. In transit one of the hsf came off and smashed/bent a capacitor and the one next to it looks...
