    Problem downloading files

    Could this be a problem with software conflicting with each other? This is on my laptop and desktop, and I've tried it using both the internet at home and at work (for the laptop), and both have the same problem.

    Problem downloading files

    Right now I'm using Windows XP Pro, and firefox version 2.0. This was happening when the beta 2 came out as well, but I'm having a problem downloading files, such as updates and patches to programs. When I try to downloading them, the download goes for a bit, but if the file is bigger than...

    Random Start Up Problems

    I think I found the problem...I ended up with the AGP440.SYS error, and so after some trial an error, I found out that my DVD-ROM drive was dead, which was causing the file error, so once I reinstalled windows xp pro, it worked fine. Just thought I'd say I figured out the problem.

    Random Start Up Problems

    Oh, I tried booting using a second hard drive (only OS and important, but older, drivers installed) and I came up with the same error, except the computer reboots instead of hanging. I've been reading online, if I run chkdsk in windows recovery, should that fix it? Any other suggestions...

    Random Start Up Problems

    Ok, I just worked on it during lunch a bit...and when I tried to boot in safemode, it would hang on the agp440.sys driver. Why all of a sudden do that? Is that a problem related to my video card or my motherboard? According to MS website it has to do with the motherboard chipset. Does that...

    Random Start Up Problems

    Ok, about 2 weeks ago, my DVD-ROM drive would randomly open, even when it was in use, and then it would close itself a minute or 2 later. And after that it sometimes just doesn't boot up at all. If it doesn't start up, the screen turns black just before the windows login screen, and then just...

    Motherboard fried or just overheating?

    Ok, I'll check that on lunch today. I just thought it was that because it was the only thing that seemed to be off on my motherboard (when I removed the heatsink, the thermal paste was all dried up). The thing is that it loads and runs fine until just before you go into windows, it just stops...

    Motherboard fried or just overheating?

    Is there a way to tell if you fried your motherboard? My situation is that my Abit IC7-G I thought was just dead, but then looking at it I noticed the fan on the northbridge heatsink was not working. I now have a fan blowing into my case and it SOMETIMES starts up. If it doesnt start up, the...

    WTB: Motherboard that supports AGP

    My motherboard just died on me, and I dont have the money to purchase a new motherboard/ram/cpu/video card combo...so I came here looking for a Socket 478 motherboard that supports AGP. Most of the places online (newegg and monarch) have very few motherboards that support both of those things...
