Hi all, I have an operating system (BELENIX - a open solaris distribution) installed on a Sony Microvault 1gb pen drive. It has grub installed on it. My PC config : P4 2.66, 512 ram, 160 SATA Hdd, DVD R/W . Asrock 775i45GV motherboard. I unable to boot the USB on my PC. The stage one loads and i...

Hi all, this is what i have read in the book, "Essential electronics for PC technicians" moderns P.C's have voltages present on the motherboard even when the P.C is turned off 1 to allow faster booting 2 to provide WOL and WOM

I want to spend a few months studying computer architecture, starting with the electronics. The knowledge that i'm starting with, is that I just know logic gates (on paper), i've done some karnough maps before, and I have designed a full adder in VHDL using XiLinx. So my knowledge is small, and I...

Say a bus, like an FSB=100MHz, 100 cycles a second. also, the bus is 8 bytes in size. Suppose the RAM is just normal SDR (single data ram) not DDR. and it's 'single channel' not 'dual channel'. I dunno if in each cycle, the data on the bus travels both ways or just one way. I guess it's...

Been trying to figure out what's what, and have decided than economically only a 6600GT, 6800LE, or 6800 is feasible. They are all priced about the same, with the 6800LE being about the cheapest. Is it really as simple as the more expensive one is the best logic? From what I can tell: 6600GT =...

I've built a PC out of working parts. Sometimes it boots, but most of the time it doesn't. I've tried chaning a lot of things, such as chaning around the RAM, removing everything except video & 1 DIMM (I have 3), changing the BIOS battery, removing screws that hold the motherboard onto the case,...

Wondering if there are any DVD burners that can REWRITE at 4x? See alot that do 2x and 2.4x, thought they released the 4x ones, but can't find any....unless they meant 4x to SINGLE write mode :(

Just trying to build a little cheap PC that won't do much more than playback Divx backups on a TV (I have most the parts, really just need a video card, and some cooling stuff). It's only going to be an Athlon 900, 320MB RAM, 40Gig single platter HD (ATA/100), and either a 54x CD-ROM or DVD-ROM...

How does dual channel ram actually work. I know it makes up a 128-bit channel when you use two dimms placed in the correct locale, but what does that really mean to the two dimms? Is it similar to RAID for hard drives, so that if you store, for example, a 1mb exe file into ram as do all programs,...

I have a VIA C3 533MHz fanless CPU. I'm using it as a server. However, when the CPU starts to do something, it emits a high-pitched noise. It's not loud, but noticeable. I can handle it -- it's no louder than my PC fans. But I'm curious as to why it's happening, and if I can stop it. I've ruled...

Recently, I started using Cool'n'Quiet feature in my motherboard (turned it on BIOS, installed AMD Athlon 64/FX Processor Driver from http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_9706,00.html , and did the extra stuff as shown in ...

Hi. I have a few years old Pentium 4 machine, but I don't know if it can do 64-bit. Is there a way to check without installing and running the installed OS? Can I use a LiveCD (which one?), look in BIOS/CMOS (didn't see anything to mention it), etc.? Thank you in advance. :) -- "I've been on...

Hello! Is this temperature considered too hot for a 80 degrees(F) room and 100+ degrees(F) ASUS K8V SE motherboard's temperature sensor? It is in a mid-tower ATX PC case. You can read the full computer specifications at http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt (primary box). I...

Hi. I am wondering. How long does one thermal paste/grease last for a Pentium III 600 Mhz CPU (Katami/Slot 1)? I noticed that a year ago I had to clean the CPU's old grease/paste and put a new supply. After a year, my computer started crashing when in stress (e.g., compiling and getting too hot;...

Were can I get one of these CPU's? I got a 3000 right now and plan on upgrading my video card and cpu. Video to 6600 gt and cpu to the one I mentioned above
