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 posted in a thread about a month or so ago, about piecing together a cheap 2.1 setup
I know it's not the best system around, but it is a huge step up from my 4.1 Klipsch PC speakers and fits nicely in my dorm room
Polk M10s (the Sennheiser HD555s I already had)
HK AVR146 and X-sub...
Please do write up your impressions, it looks like I'll be getting almost the same system for my birthday soon, except with the 10" Dayton instead of the 12" and a Harman Kardon AVR 146 receiver.
Eh, I'm trying to move to Core 2, with a new video card (8800GT most likely, or AMD 3870 if I can't find any 8800GTs in stock), so it's not going to be super cheap
I've just been hoping to squeeze some better sound out of my setup
I think I am going to get the R150s and play around on Ebay...
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'm in a really similar boat here. I am looking to move from my Klipsch ProMedia 4.1s to a component system, probably 2.1 since I am in a relatively small dorm room and really don't have space for big surround setups (I barely know what to do with the rears...
1. I too would use it to build an AM2 system (new motherboard, ram, video card, the whole lot) and finally upgrade from my 939 rig. I think my 3500+ has earned its retirement after the stuff I've put it through. With a new system up, I'd invest in some better fans for my Antec P180 and a big...
My motherboard is the EVGA NF41 nforce4 SLI (on their site it's listed as 133-K8-NF41)
I switched both jumpers (JP1 and JP3), although since both my mouse and keyboard are plugged into the back USB ports I actually only needed to switch JP1.
I had this exact same issue with my board. Changing those jumper settings (as per the manual) did the trick and stopped it from killing the power to my USB devices.
JP1 controls the back USB ports I believe, while JP3 controls the optional ones (i.e. if you hooked up your case's front ports...
Hmm...well thanks for trying to help. I've been meaning to upgrade to just two sticks of PC3200 ram in dual channel...but since I'm not sure whether I'll be making the jump to DDR2 when I do the eventual upgrade, I've been putting off investing in any more ram.
I just finished doing a format...
Cool. I've already installed the latest chipset drivers from nVidia (the ones on the ASUS site are dated sometime in 2003...) and I don't have those utilities installed in the first place. Maybe I'll try the older chipset drivers just for kicks.
Wow, you just described my problem EXACTLY. I am experiencing the very same issue, although my hardware is quite different.
I'm running:
ASUS A7N8X (latest 1009 BIOS that my rev 1.04 board allows)
AMD AthlonXP 3200+
1GB DDR333 PC2700 RAM (3 sticks, a 512MB and two 256MB, all Crucial...
