Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I wanted to play TF2 so bad, but I wasn't going to pay $50 for it. After about three months of OG being out, Best Buy had a Sunday ad for half off.
BONK!
I purchased a 3200 XP Barton on ebay of unknown functionality (as-is), and after spending an hour straightening pins, I was able to get it into the socket and power it up, but it doesn't post. Everything powers up, but the computer keeps rebooting.
Everything works when I put my old 2500 xp in...
On a related note:
I once started my computer without plugging in the fan on my processor heatsink.
It's was an Athlon 2500+. It booted windows and then shut down. Plugged in the the molex connector, and it booted up just fine.
I was flabbergasted.
In BIOS, my cpu is 70c and system is 23c. I have moved my computer several times since I last ran it, so maybe the heatsink has come loose.
HOWEVER, when I run CS 1.6, the computer doesn't shut down under that load.
edit: my computer makes electrical scratching noises when off
I'm trying to install XP on my 2000 system. Here's the problem: when the initial loading takes place, and the first screen [install XP, repair XP, etc] the system speaker makes the same noise it makes whenever there is a thermal shutdown.
I have a gigbyte 7vt600 1394 motherboard, XP 2500+...
My network has 4 computers that do a lot of web surfing, fps gaming, and torrent activity.
I use insightBB, a 3com cable modem, and a Linksys Etherfast router/switch..
The internet performance isn't too great, and I'm wondering if it is the modem, the router, or maybe we just need more...
