I enabled the Marvel in the bios and I turn the external ESATA drive on before booting and it works fine. If the drive is off at boot and I turn it on after booting the drive won't show up. Is this the way it should work? Is there no way to leave the drive off until you need access to it? ...

The door was open. Lot's of noise from outside. I turned on the PC. I thought I didn't turn on or something. So I press power button again.

Original post at http://tinyurl.com/2auzb7 Here is update on my desktop: I think I mentioned about the two case fans whose wire were cut - my guess was that my nephew got annoyed with the noise (this was his PC) and cut it instead of pulling the electrical connection. I tried to fix the connect...

I am buying a new system soon, but as for my old/current system... which I will keep as a 2nd computer on the network (it's a Dual Core Opteron 180 running on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe withWinXP x64) I'd like to upgrade the RAM, but that's a really complicated area for me as I've tried it before on...

Hi, I have Asus P4B533 working for many years with no problem till recently. I had some graphic card-related problems then after next boot ups display didn't come or flickering occured. However now, the display is provided but AGP warning LED lighted up but the most interesting thing is that also...

http://members.localnet.com/~eddie180/Misc/Mini031508-01.dmp I built a computer for a relative that has an occasional blue screen and memory dump. I changed out the video card and RAM about a year ago. She still had an occasional blue screen. I then changed out the power supply. The PC worked...

Computer won't turn on! About 4 months ago, my computer wouldn't turn on. It has an Asus mobo with an ATX power supply. I turn it on and off at least once a day. I pressed the on button about 10 times and finally it went on. A couple months later, I had to press the on button about 30...

I installed XP Pro on my new PC (3.2GHz Northwood, 1GB PC3200RAM Dual Channel and a 200 and a 120GB Drive hanging on the onboard normal IDE controller). First thing i did after install was to install the Version: 6.0.1.1002 Intel chipset INF utility. But it doesnt seem to "take". If i look into...

Dear Motherboard Gurus.... tell me if ... .... it would do any harm to plug in a CPU of a higher FSB rating than the MOBO is designed for ? My mobo has a fsb rating of 400MHz but my P4s rating is 800Mhz. I personally feel it woud do no (physical) harm except, perhaps, to 'pull down' the P4's...

I just put in a Maxtor SATA 120 drive, when I try to install XP to it..it goes to starting Windows and sits...when I try to boot to the CD-rom as if I am going to do a fresh install on my ATA's..same thing..just hangs. I have gone so far as to have 1 HD connected..1 CD rom..all...

Hi! I'm having a problem here that's a bit scary. Often I get electricuted by just touching the chassis of my computer. I've changed to a new PSU and a new chassi, but it still happends no matter what combination I'm using. Leaning over it to fix a cable behind it, just touching it and similar...

Hi, I've tried searching for related articles to this but have so far not found anything. I have an Asus A7N8X-X motherboard. It includes an onboard LAN card (NVIDIA nForce MCP Netowrking Adapter). I am setting up the machine to work offline at home, but need to connect to the LAN at work to...

Hi all, I've just built my new PC using an A7N8X Deluxe board (specs below), carrying over my ATI 8500DV card from my old machine. Having previously used Gigabyte boards, I'm very hopeful that a move to Asus will get me a stable machine for a change! :-) The first thing that was more than a bit...

It sounds like you may have received a "re-marked" CPU. Was it unusually reasonable in price? -- DaveW Lysander Lapine wrote in message ...

I've been aiming to buy two of the 36g raptors but the prices keep going up. Aren't they supposed to come down as the newer ones are introduced? Most places are now at least $125. The cheaper places (~115) are OEM versions and need the power adapter, conveniently $10. Yikes. Hopefully the PC Fair...

Am having an annoying problem getting a USB 2.5" HDD enclosure working with my ASUS P4P800 Deluxe motherboard in USB 2.0 mode. The enclosure is recognised as a USB Mass Storage Device on bootup and can be written and read from as a USB 1.0 device ok (but slow of course). But when ports are...

I've this P4T for 4 years ans its still going strong. Will this thing eventually die like a hard drive?

I bought an A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, an Athlon XP 2500+, 256 MB 333 MHz DDR RAM, and a V9520 VS Video Card. I decided to reformat my C: drive and do a fresh installation of XP Pro, but I could only get through a few minutes of the install before it would either get a STOP error or suddenly reboot...
