    New Motherboard - freezing with PCI wireless adapter

    It comes with software called SuperUpdate, but it only works in windows xp and windows 2k. I looked online for an updated version but it isn't out there. I will try to make a bootable cd today.

    New Motherboard - freezing with PCI wireless adapter

    I downloaded the update and it gives me an exe file and a .BIN file. The exe file just opens a cmd window real fast and closes it, so I don't think I can just run it in Windows. So I looked around the site for some info and this is what is posted in the FAQ. Here is the website...

    so where is a good place to get a bootable CD for windows 7 to update the BIOS?

    New Motherboard - freezing with PCI wireless adapter

    The issue happens weather or not the card is trying to connect to the network or not. If it is plugged in, it freezes. Sometimes it will freeze as soon as Windows pops up and sometimes it will freeze 30 seconds after it lets me connect to the network. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the...

    Freezing on Bios spash screen

    Doing a clean install was one thing I did after I couldn't get the problem fixed. I listed it in my list of attempts. I started a new thread to discuss the issue. http://www.tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=602&page=1

    New Motherboard - freezing with PCI wireless adapter

    See this thread: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1591536 I replaced the mobo and am concerned that I got a faulty mobo, but I would like to hear some thoughts. Whenever I try connecting to the wireless network, the computer freezes and then gives me a blue screen. If the network...

    Freezing on Bios spash screen

    OK, thank you for the replies everyone. I got the mobo, installed it and I am encountering an entirley different problem. Whenever I try connecting to the wireless network, the computer freezes and then gives me a blue screen. If the network card is out, this does not happen. I tried...

    Freezing on Bios spash screen

    OK, I will try a good PSU and verify that is not the problem. If it isn't the PSU, then I will assume that it is the mobo and not the CPU and replace it. Thanks.

    Freezing on Bios spash screen

    OK, so I disconnected everything and tried starting up and I didn't get any beeps. The mobo doesn't have a built in GPU unit, so I disconnected the GPU to see if I would get any beeps. I am looking at the manual, and this is what it says: After powering on, LED on the system front panel case...

    Freezing on Bios spash screen

    OK, I will try that. No CPU as well?

    Freezing on Bios spash screen

    I have a 5 year old computer that has never had problems before now. I am freezing on the bios splash screen and can't get passed it. The screen indicates that you can press DEL to enter boot options, etc, but the keys don't even take me anywhere, so it is just frozen. I first removed the...

    Access "Pages" - edit/add data

    omfg, I'm an idiot. I didn't have the primary key set on my database. Sorry

    Access "Pages" - edit/add data

    I have a db on the intranet and I am trying to create a page for people to access the db without having access open, so I decided to use the "page" function. When I create a page, it becomes non editable and data can be viewed, but not added or edited. I have been looking all over for the...

    quad vs duel core

    Very good information. The board I have selected does have PCI-E 2.0, so I am all good. I would rather stick with one GPU card atm so if I want to upgrade, all I have to do is add another one. With this set up, it gives me the extra PCI-E 2.0 slot to work with for the future and it allows me...

    quad vs duel core

    Thanks for your input, but your link is for a CPU that is $80 more and .50 ghz slower per core. I understand that you would be getting two more cores, but I am building the machine for gaming, not multitasking, so since not many games use multi threading, I think I am going to stick with two...

    quad vs duel core

    I am going to be building this system over the next couple of months, buying a few pieces at a time, so I'm sure that the availability won't be a problem. Thanks for the awesome suggestion.

    alright, here is my setup: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811124115 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136012 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814241070 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166...

    quad vs duel core

    I think I am going to stick with duel core then; it looks like a lot of people recommend that on some game forums as well. Thanks for all of the input.

    quad vs duel core

    Thank you for the help. The reason I was sticking with AMD was simply because the Mobo that I was looking at was for AMD. I will look into other possible combos though.

    quad vs duel core

    I am building a PC next month and I am starting to look at some components to buy. The motherboard I am looking at supports AM2+ and AM2 and I can't decide if quad or duel core is better. I play EQ2 a lot, which doesn't take advantage of multiple cores and is very CPU intensive. I also play...
