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.
Check out page 48 and 49 of the manual
Section 2-5 Advanced Bios Features
and I quote:
Onboard VGA
Enables or disables the onboard graphics function.
Enable If No Ext PEG
Activates the onboard graphics only if no PCI Express graphics card is installed. (Default)
Always Enable
Always...
There is a bios backup file on the motherboard cd.
So if you can boot with the cd in the drive, the board should start searching for a bios file automatically
Very nice job
1 question though
I see 3 IDE hard drives and 1 IDE-CF adaptor
but only 1 IDE port on the motherboard
How did you get everything hooked up?
I would set it up with the old hard drive and psu just to see If you get stability back
if not, then I'm afraid some piece of hardware has gotten damaged
just install xp on the second machine for her
She can try it out for 30 days before you need to activate it
By then you know if she likes it, if it is really that much faster
you can always sell both to get some better hardware
personally, I think it will do just fine for a "mom-pc"...
zero82z is correct,
but if you accidentally switch the connections on the LED, they just don't light up
no harm done, reverse the connector and you'll be A-OK
