My computer was freazing because there were bad capacitors on the motherboard. Eventualy after i made it freaze a fiew times on purpose by opening flash pages the computer stopped booting. i looked at the mobo and the capacitors around the CPU were bubbled right up about to explode. need a new...

damn it... its not fixed. it just restarted on its own. I played the game for about 3 hours just fine. then i was working on a website and looking through flash templates and the computer restarted. i came back to it ten mins later and tried playing the game. I turned on the flash game and the...

memtest didnt find any faults... but i swaped out some of the ram with another computer and both the computers are now working fine. i think it may have diff types of ram chips conflicting. i guess the other computer wasnt picky. thanks for the help. :)

Ive tried that before and just tried it again and still the same issue. First time half an hour into the game the computer locked up completley and then the second time the computer restarted as i turned the program on.

Hey everyone. This problem is an odd one. Flash games and websites seem to freaze my computer. Happens randomly while playing flash. Sometimes computer just completely locks up and other times it restarts. In start up and recovery i have it set up so the computer doesnt automaticly restart...

Here is a snippet from the Manual for your motherboard(its important you should read it). Pay extra attention to the part ive outlined in red. Your mobo supports a single ram chip, two or four. Three wont work. Make sure they are the same type of ram so you dont have compatability issues...

Between a tulatin Celeron 1.4 and a Duron 1400 what do you think would be faster? I can put my 512mb pc133 ram in either. I tried to find comparisons on the net but didnt find anything relivant. I personaly like the tulautin chip but Duron is newer I think. Just trying to figure out wich one i...

I bet its just that the heat sink sucks... This was one of those boards that has the CPU built on to mobo so my choices for cooling are limited. Instead of clips there is a brace that screws into the board to hold down the heatsink. I had a half decent heatsink on that thing but i guess it wasnt...

Canada :)

I have a semi half decent PCI vid card in that comp so decided to try and run a game. CPU temp went all the way up to 71 ~73 degrees celcius... thats gotta be too hot. I know these AMDs are supposed run hotter than the intels of that generation (my p3 1.4ghz runs at like 30~ 33 degrees celcius)...

I have a comp with a AMD duron 1400. At idle the cpu temp is at anywhere between 65 - 68 degrees celcius. The specs for this chip say operating temp is between 0-85 degrees celcius. Is 68 degrees hot for idle temp?? The comp is running slow, im not if its running slow because of heating or if it...

Theres pleanty out there to chose from. Asus, Asrock, and gigabyte my fav brands. There are motherboards out there with PCI-E / AGP combos or PCI-E / Integrated graphics combos. Though the PCI-E /AGP combos are becoming less available because AGP is slowly being phased out. ( atleast thats the...

Thanks, thats what i was thinking. The 1.4 must be faster even tho the other has a faster bus. Plus tulautin vs Coppermine. Tulautin even a celeron must be a better chip.

I put a computer together without a case sitting on a wooden desk and had it work fine because it didnt ground out on anything. (old computer that i didnt care about) But I hope you didnt set the motherboard down in the case without the spacers. That would explain the no boot. If you look at the...

Hey everyone, I have enought parts laying around to build another system but im having trouble deciding what processor to use. I dont know what one would be faster. The two choices are; Tualatin based celeron 1.4ghz has 256k l2 cache 100mhz fsb Or Pentuim 3 (I think coppermine based but...

Its suposed to be like that. It down clocks the processor to save battery. I worked for HP fixin laptops for a wile and if i remember correctly some of the laptops had a setting in the bios to turn off speedstep. But its better to keep it on, when u you need it the processor will kick back up.

Probably nothing or just confusing it. Best to just leave leave it.
