    Problem Installing Win XP Pro SP3 on a 160 GB HD

    what you mentioned is just to enable the onboard IDE controller to support both opticle drives and Hard drives. Is your hard drive running on the same port/bus as the opticle drive or are they both on seperate ports/busses? Have you tried using another OS disk?

    RAM Not Detected

    I could be numerous things such as: The ram you have in your machine is ecc-buffered, and the ram you bought is non ecc- unbuffered. you can tell that is buffered ram by counting 9 ram chips. non ecc-unbuffred ram has 8 ram chips. But from the looks of it your problem must be that the 1gb...

    Problem Installing Win XP Pro SP3 on a 160 GB HD

    Go into the bios. I think your IDE controller is set to RAID mode or AHCI mode. Change it to IDE mode.

    Computer Freezing

    Try increasing your vcore and vdram voltages, could have stability issues. check your cpu and rams maximum voltage limit and try increasing the voltages by about .1 or .2 I know you ran prime95 but should also try running ortheros.

    strange connection problem

    sounds to me it could be you have a bad NIC. I presume you've already tried another ethernet cable? you can buy a pci nic for about £5 if that, give that ago. 3com normally cheap and normally have a generic driver. I take it you have a static something along the lines of: IP: 192.168.1.10...

    Suggestions Please

    could try a Nvidia 8800gts or a gtx 260 both around the same price but gtx 260 has better performance. I wouldn't recommened going for anythign better beacuase your motherboards pci-express x16 slot is 1.0 (x8 mode) (2gb/s) bus frequency and if you bought a card along the lines of a Nividia gtx...

    Power issues even after replacing the PSU

    hi sounds like the power switch to me. Disconnect the power switch from the motherboards control panel and use a flathead screw driver to short the two power switch pins.

    Gneral CPU upgrade

    socket 775, Intel q6600 is a good cpu to choose, also an excellent overclocker. I've just checked the cpu support list on your board and it supports it BUT you need bios revision P5N-E SLI BIOS 1404. check your bios see what revision it has.

    Windows freezing randomly and hard disk not detected after reboot

    if you've got a spare machine take the hard drive out and benchmark it. check you read speeds. Also do you have any dodgy processes running in ram? run a check disc for bad sectors. I would also recommed running prime 95 or orthros for stability issues this will rule out any issue with cpu or...

    I need recomendations for a graphics card, here's my situation...

    you will need something around the Nvidia gtx 260 range but your pci-express x16 bus frequency will be 1.0 (x8 mode 2gb/s speed) Don't worry it will still work just not at its potential. I take it your company has a software rendering farm full of rack servers that does the rendering for you...

    BIOSTAR TA790GXB vs. ECS A785GM-M

    Hi there, They are both very similar boards but the ECS seems to stand out a bit more with a few extra features, such as the onboard E-sata controller which is also hot swoppable. I also noticed mosfet voltage regulator heatsinks on the ECS motherboard which is also a good thing. Can't see what...

    Blank screen - stuck in POST

    That shouldn't really be an issue generally the memory controller clocks the frequency down to the maximum it can handle. But after all it is an Asus motherboard nuff said.
