Can't boot anything!!! I get three long beeps. I just ordered an Intel 865PERL mobo, and a processor to go with it. - Intel Pentium 4 2.6 GHz processor - Bus Speed - 800 MHz - Cache Memory - L2 Advanced Transfer Cache - 512 KB - Socket 478 - Manufacturer Warranty - 3 years warranty

I bought a P4 2.4/800fsb with Hyper Threading, they didn't put a case Logo in the box so I email and ask for a case sticker. They asked me to mail receipt and information to them, I comply. Then I get this really crummy letter from them saying that the only way to get the hyper threading sticker is...

I have an Intel SE440BX2 motherboard with a Celeron 333 CPU (slot 1). I purchased an Intel PIII 600Mhz CPU to replace the existing Celeron, but the computer locks up immediately on startup. I've worked with the jumper settings, downloaded the lastest system bios and checked everything I can find,...

I was getting some strange crashes in a program compiled under MSVC on Windows 98, Pentium III processor. The following instruction turned out not to be working as advertised: 8D 0C 80 LEA ECX, I could make this happen repeatedly, even single-stepping in the debugger, and after trying a lot...

When the board was first installed and setup I was hearing only 1 beep on bootup, (mem. test). Now I hear 2. The system continues booting in to Windows without interruption and the computer functions well. I know the number of beeps mean different things, but I'm don't know what...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find any info on the ancient Intel 4201 reset/clock generator chip for the 4004 processor? Ta. Steve

I just ordered a new 875PBZ. Hopefully, it'll be the latest hardware revision C27085-206 ... There have been quite a few updates recently (7/22, 8/15, 8/19, 8/21) ...latest being BZ87510A.86A.0047.P12 . Which is the best one for running WinXP Pro (with P4 3GHz and 1 G PC3200 RAM)? What's the...

Hello, I have recentliy bought a notebook advertised for stating it includes a mobile Pentium 4 Processor with SpeedStep technology. How can I tell if it really is one. I have doubts that this is only a desktop P4 as it comes with an 845 chipset. Any ideas ?

Just thought I'd post my results of experimenting with this board . I had heaps of problems with slow booting off the PRI IDE port , recently I bought a WD120JD SATA drive and installed it , suddenly ALL my problems have disappeared........I have 2 optical drives on the SEC IDE port and nothing on...

Anyone mastered the art of hitting F2 to enter the BIOS setup page? On fast system (875PBZ, P43GHz, 2G DDR400), the window of opportunity of hitting F2 is too small. During that time, the video screen is usually blank as well. It's like a video game here!! I usually start pressing the F1...

Postal Lottery: Turn $6 into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED I found this in a news group and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now and came across a message just like this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with...

Am going to be building my own system for the first time and have chosen the 875PBZ. I'm going to be using it for gaming and video editing with Vegas or Premiere Pro. Tough call is the price differences for the three 800mhz FBS chips: 2.4CGHz @ $171 2.8CGHz @ $265 3.0CGHz @ $389 Liking the...

I have an older D850MV with a 2.6ghz cpu. I have a desire to upgrade and to use the older parts to replace an older Tbird 1200. I am partial to Intel mobo's due to stability, thus my transplantion of the AMD Tbird with the D850MV. I am into gaming, yet I have no desire to OC. My Question: Is...

I have a PIII 866 system that works fine, but have a spare 1.8G Celeron 478 pin chip that I could use to upgrade. Having just built myself a new P4 12.6G system, funding is at a premium. My question is: Is it worth upgrading my PIII to a 1.8G celeron if I can only afford to use a motherboard...

hi, anyone knows if it's possible to overclock pentium 2.4 ghz without any special extra cooling system? that is, can i get the speed up just by settings in the bios or whatever? because i really dont want to buy extra fans or physically change things inside the computer. Thanks S W

Hi Folks, Since Intel provides no more support for this motherboard, I'll try this forum ;-) This is an old Pentium II mainboard, based on a 440FX chipset, so only ISA and PCI busses (no AGP). There's a problem when a Sound Blaster 16 or AWE64 ISA PnP card is plugged in. The DOS DIAGNOSE utility...

I'm not sure what the general consent on overclocking in this group is, but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm not even sure if it's legal or not - though I would guess it is, I'll simply lose warranty. Anyway, I recently bought the following parts to upgrade my PC: ASUSTek P4C800 Deluxe (Intel...

Hi! I have a pentium 1 processor. Any ideas on how i can wire it to a ROM chip and have it work?

Hi, I just fixed up a system using 2.6C, 865PERL and 2x512MB Kingston HX3500. Have flashed to P11 BIOS, and using Win2K. Have got a couple of questions which I hope any 865 or 875 users might be able to advise: 1) If I set memory to default, the timings is greyed out, but shows 8,2,3,3. If I set...
