Thanks.. I just wanted to make sure that hole hadnt been closed before I bought a couple of copies.

Im wondering what happens if you want to upgrade to Vista and have an XP RETAIl CD. Here's my situation. I own a retail boxed copy of XP and want to upgrade to Vista. I was going to buy the OEM DVD but Im a little scared about running into issues later with hardware upgrades. I have an XP Pro...

Yea.. Im plugged in directly now in another room. System powered down running Memtest with the PC2700 in the memory slot so I think my next step is going to be a processor. i REALLY hate to spend the money on a Socket 939 processor but that seems to be about the only thing left I havent tried.

Well.. it ran Memtest for a while with the PC2700. I just went in and checked on it and it was powered down so at this point, I guess Im gonna try to find a Socket 939 CPU and try that next.

I scrounged up a stick of PC2700 that will boot the mobo up so Im running Memtest on that now. If the system shuts off at this point, Im going to replace the proccessor. EVERYTHING else has been replaced. Right now its stripped down to 1 stick of mem, a completely different optical drive AND...

Ive tried running Memtest several times. It runs for a few minutes then just shuts down like it does every other time you try to do anything with it.

I dont have another machine that will run PC3200, unfortunately. Ive swapped back and forth between sticks tho.. I guess both could be bad but that seems like it's really reaching but at this point, Im not ruling anything out.

Did that.. Im even running the PC from power in another room. Im really at a loss.. every time I think I have an idea of the problem, something happens that sends me in a different direction.

Okay.. its out of the case and still doing the same thing. This is with the mobo, graphic card, PSU, 1 HD, the DVDRW and 2 sticks of memory installed. Im going to pull it down to 1 stick of mem and 1 HD and see what happens.

An update... Im really no farther along than I was yesterday. I let the PC sit in the BIOS all night with the DVDRW and hard drive hooked up and it stayed on all night long. So, I sat down and put the wireless card back in it and rebooted it and everything was okay. Booted the PC up and got...

The system is on a UPS. Id assume that by being on a UPS the power would be good since it's supplied by the battery. Is that incorrect? Far as the grounding issues, I might give that a try. Keep in mind tho, that the system has been thought 2 motherboards AND 2 cases and does the EXACT same...

Well.. shuts down just sitting in BIOS as well.

Heh.. yea.. Artic Silver.. same stuff I been using for years. Im really stumped by this one. Ive had the absolute worst run of luck with PCs over the last 4 weeks or so.. my file server puked on me, then my wife's PC then one of my RAID drives failed. Its been a rough month.

About 80F degrees in BIOS.. so far it hasnt shut down just sitting in BIOS. Ill leave it up for a bit and see what happens.

I havent virus scanned the hard drive BUT I have booted the system from a Memtest86 CD trying to run a memory diagnostic on the memory and it also shuts down about 30 seconds into booting into Memtest. It has a brand new power supply hooked up to it now (Came with the case I swapped it into)...

No.. Its not blue screening.. it's just shutting down.. it even does it before it boots into Windows. Sometimes you can hit the power button, the fans come on, the drives start to spin up and everything just shuts down. This is within 2-3 seconds of hitting the power button. Usually when that...

Its an Athlon 64 3700 with 2GB PC3200 Right now its in a MSI K8T Neo board I believe (The NForce 4 board) and it was in a Gigabyte K8NS Ultra (Nforce 3) Far as overheating, I dont think so. Its got an OEM cooler on the processor and the fan is staying at a reasonable RPM level. I've tried...

Ive been fighting with my wife's PC now for several weeks and Im not any closer to figuring out what's wrong with it than I was when I started. Here's the deal. When you power the box up, sometimes it posts, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes you hit the power switch and it doesnt do anything...

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the P5K Deluxe. Hopefully it works out :)

A lot of the reviews on that board seem to mention SATA problems. Have the SATA problems been traced back to most cables issues or is it a board problem? I got plenty of SATA cables so I probably wouldnt use the ones they include. Thanks guys :)

Is the P5K different from the P5K3? I wasnt planning on going with DDR3.

Im doing my first system upgrade in a long while. Im all twisted up on motherboard choices tho so I thought I'd ask for some advice. Here's what I have in my cart right now.. Im not interested in overclocking whatsoever, Im mainly just interested in stablity and bells and whistles like RAID...

wow.. no offers? Bump

Im looking for a Slot 1 P3 in the 900Mhz-1Ghz range. Must be non DOA and it would be a plus if it had a heatsink with it. Must be non DOA. Anyone who's got one they want to get rid of, drop me a PM. Can pay by Paypal. Heat is under SWiTCH Thanks!

Im pretty sure this is a driver issue and there may be a setting somewhere to fix this but I cant find anything searching the forums so I thought I would ask. I have an AGP 6800 Ultra and a Dell 2001FP. Some applications seem to send the monitor into a blackout mode, where the screen goes...

No, I didnt cut. There was no line, there was a number system which Walmart abandoned at the last minute and had everyone form a line instead, which just happened to start where I was at. I was about 7th inline and ended up getting the 44th laptop out of 47 units so you figure out who was doing...

Yea, then you and the guy both would have gotten this treatment. http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/us/2005/11/25/vonat.fl.shop.fight.affl

I walked in about 4:30 and managed to get #41 of 45. It was BRUTAL.. there were at least 500 people waiting and it was sheer luck I got one at all. They decided at the last minute to change where everyone was lining up and I just happened to be where the line moved too. Pushing, yelling...

I have an iPod Nano for sale. It's the black 2GB model. The unit itself is brand new. Still has the "Don't steal music" sticker on it. I had to send in my old one to Apple for replacement and while it was gone, I bought another player. The USB cable and headphones are used although I think...

They are nice. I decided to go with the Ultimate Ears Superfi 5s.

If you guys banned him and want to get to the PMs, just change his password through the admin control panel and log in as him..

If you have an iPod or any other sort of portable audio player, these things are a must. I have a set of barely used Shure E4Cs for sale. These come with everything EXCEPT the foam inserts. All of the tips are new, still in the bag. The headphones were burned in and used for maybe 2 hours with...

As it has a 200W power supply, Im going to assume it's a V1 although it's V2 of the motherboard. I accept Paypal.
