I think I've finally sorted it. For the benefit of anyone else with the same problem, I reset the jumper PS2_USB_PWR1 to pins 1 & 2 (+5v). Factory setting is 2 & 3 (+5vsb). The jumper is positioned near the PS2 mouse socket. It is something to do with PSU voltage stability. Whether it's a fault...

False alarm. It's gone again. I'll change the FSB back to 266. Keep on trying!!

It's 266 PC2100

I've changed the FSB from 266 to 200 Mh. Up to now it seems to have done the trick, but my Athlon 1800 CPU is only showing 1150.

Time for a new pair of boots then??

I've tried another monitor, no joy. I love a challenge, and the learning that comes with trying to sort it!

No, it all worked fine for the past 6 months. The computer has been dragged in and out from under the desk recently, and the trouble has been since then. That's why a damaged M/B sounds feasable, the monitor was nearly yanked from the desk on one occasion by the lead that connects it to the base...

You could be right there Chris. When it shuts down there is a 'Tick' noise from the board. Would that be an indication of a short circuit?

Hi Chris, yes I've tried that. The AGP mode is set at default 4X. Will it make any difference if I change it to 2X or 1X?

It shuts down just at the time the video signal is sent to the monitor. I've swapped the HDD, memory, installed a PCI video card, and the PSU from my other computer. It still happens. Once it does start up OK, it will stay on and work fine. I beginning to think it is the CPU or motherboard.

I have had an Asrock k7VM2 for around 6 months. All was OK until last week. It will not boot. The CPU fan spins for a couple of seconds, then turns off. I try to start it again with the switch but then nothing at all happens, not even for a few seconds. If I disconnect the power supply from the...

I have recently re-installed Windows ME, and am with Freeserve Anytime. I can receive emails OK, but when I send an email, it seems to send OK, and is shown as sent in the Sent Items folder. None of my emails are arriving at their destinations however, not even the ones sent to myself as test...

I have recently acquired a Visioneer 4800 flatbed scanner. Installation went fine, and the scanner works OK. It is the type without on/off switches, and powers up & down when it is used. However, I shut down my computer and about an hour later, noticed that the scanner lamp was lit. It was...

Yes, I have two computers on a home network. Both were infected, but only the one that has been online today is now infected. I tried the same floppy on both, one is OK and the other is not.

P.S. I forgot to mention something. All my disks and partitions are OK from within Windows, even when I fdisk from the Windows DOS prompt, everything appears to be OK. It is only when I boot from floppy that the problem is there.

It's happened again!! I fdisked with the command; 'fdisk/mbr', which apparently replaces the master boot record, partitioned my HDD and re-installed Windows ME. Everything was fine for around 22 hours. Periodic start-ups from floppy showed that all was OK. I have been online for about 4 hours...

I have fdisked, formatted, and am installing programs one by one. Up to now, all is fine, and startup is still recognising my HDD partitions. I will next go on to my regular websites, and check after each site that my disks are still recognised. I think I picked up a virus called 'Monkey', which...

I used fdisk to partition my HDD. My HDD is 40Gb, so I made 2 partitions of 20Gig each. They were displayed as C:Primary DOS partiton, and D: Extended DOS partition. I set C to Active, formatted both, then installed Windows ME. In Windows, My Computer shows both drives, C & D, and the...

Thanks Pansophic. You're right, I can fax without disconnecting my DSL. Something else I've learnt!

My DSL connects through Dial-up Networking, as does my 56K modem, and I didn't think they would both work simultaneously. I've never tried it, so I'll give it a go! Thanks.
