I've just installed a Zalman 7000A heatsink/fan to try to quiet down my system. Unfortunately when I plug everything back in and power up, the system only gets power for a few seconds then everything turns off. During those few seconds all the fans spin up, so everything is plugged in properly, the...

I have a problem that I don't know how to solve. I aquired a used Athlon XP 2000 palomino CPU that I was assured was in full working order. Separately I had also acquired from different sources a used KR7A-RAID board and a used KG7A-RAID board, and in each case I was assured that they were in...

Absolutely you can use one sata drive as a regular drive. I do it here with 2 without using raid. You have to set them up in a raid configuration only if you want that, otherwise they act just like 2 seperate drives. On another note I noticed you have the same Optorite dvd burner as I and I am...

After installing the abit IS7 mobo everything seems to start okay, but then when it is time for the windows xp splash screen, it shows for about 1/10th of a second and the system restarts (just as if I had hit the reset button).

After about 2-3 hours of sitting idle, when I return to my system and attempt to load something new it will "hang" for 1-2 minutes before it loads the program (IE, explorer, outlook, etc).

Hi all, I have an Abit SA7 Motherboard with a P4 2.4 Ghz processor and 512Mb of 2700 333Mhz DDR ram (I'm running at 533Mhz) It would appear that the correct DRAM ratio to set would be 4:5, i.e. (133/4)*5= 166.25 *2 = 332.5 Mhz forums seem to agree that that's the speed 2700 ram should be...
