I installed the card and everything works fine but from pc turnon until the Windows logon screen, I get a warble tone from pc. I can't find any reference in reading the troubleshooting section of the mainboard (ABIT KV8pro) or graphics card manual that accounts for that.

I have read MB reviews on NewEgg that say you need a lesser processor to flash the BIOS before a 9xx series processor will be recognized by the MB. Please recommend a motherboard that will work out-of-the-box for an Intel 930. I don't over and don't want on-board video, so a basic MB is...

My computer gave a series of long beeps lasting a total of about 20-30 seconds while I was using it. What could these indicate? I thought maybe overheating, could it be something else? Thanks Mike

I am building a unit that will be unsed only for storage storage, perhaps up to 1T or more, so it would hold at least 4 drives. Who makes sturdy cases with no bare edges to cut my hands, with lots of bays and good ventilation? (No bling here--no lights, clear sides, no chrome or mag wheels....). ...

I assembled two computers for friends recently, both with the new Dell 2405 widescreen monitor. One uses an Nvidia FX5200, the other an FX5500, both with DVI output--but when connected will not show any widescreen resolution options in DVI. I want 16:9 or 16:10 options, either at approx. 1280...

I have installed an ATI HD card but the software is sort of lame. Does anyone know of a software program that supports HD over-the-air for scheduled shows and such? I was thinking Beyond TV or Myth but I don't think they support HD over-the-air. - JB

Hi all, Anyone know how much strain you can put one of these puppies under? I am kinda thinking of upgrading chip and GPU, was thinking about the new range of Nvidia SLi jobs. (possibly even the quad SLi if I can afford it) but would that be too much heat for the zalman? I can go back to silent...

Received a LaCie external CD-RW drive. This unit has only firewire connector. Would like to use this with my laptop. Searching Google for a Firewire-USB adapter I find nothing. Do they exist? Ideally a short length cable or if need be a plug in adapter.

Hi, Anybody knows where I can find a list of Pentium 3 current consumption? I spesifically need to know how much a Pentium 3 733Mhz draws current from which PSU rail(s) (+3.3V, +5V, and/or +12V?), but a list of all P3 models would be nice. TIA

Will not using the same type APC UPS battery replacement blow up in my face? I.e a BF280's RBC10 when I have a BF500 and supposed to use an RBC21? Perhaps actually causing dreadful damage is remote, and certainly APC will say "don't do that," (as will most normal people), but just looking at the...

Hello All, A friend of mine bought his computer over for me to have a look at it. I need to do a reinstall, but it's a Hewlett Packard with windows installed on a hidden partition. He had no other discs with him, so I was wondering how one goes about getting at the hidden partition to begin the...

I'm curious about what people think of this: I've bought two cases and 2 Asus/Via boards recently. both cases have a big fitting in back for a 4 5/8" fan. There are no holes in front for hard disk ventilation. Is the fan is supposed to blow in? Also, I haven't installed a fan yet, but already
