My system is OK and gets the job done, but I saw that components half as old as mine were so cheap now, I wondered if it would be a nice refresher. Thanks for the knowledgable advice everyone!

I have an A7V8X with an Athlon XP 2200+ and 1GB of RAM PC 2700 (2x512). My graphics card is a GeForce4 128Mb (not sure what bit). I can install up to 2 Gb of RAM on the mobo (Asus says only 2 of the 3 DIMMs is supported when using PC 2700/3200) and get a graphics card that is 512MB, all for...

It was definately the fan. The replacement I ordered is the same exact fan and it is running about 5000 rpm constantly while the dying one was only running 2000 tops for just a few minutes. Temp is consistent now too around 40C. Thanks everyone for your help.

I wondered about that myself. The Q-fan feature on my mobo that regulates fan speed is disabled and always has been, so the fan is fluctuating all by itself. It's a dynatron fan but I don't have the specs on it. Whatever type it is, it is not keeping the CPU at a constant temp even when I'm not...

Thanks for the monitor link. The house fan does drop the temp for me. I'm thinking the new CPU fan was a good idea after all. My CPU fan is running way too slow, sometimes it says '0' for a minute then goes back up. The CPU temp starts to increase at this point (obviously). When I shut it down...

My system has been up and running for two years just fine after some initial HD and modem issues. My mobo and CPU have not given me any problems. (Asus a7v8x/athlon xp2200+ in an Antec tower, running WinXP Pro) I recently added a DVD burner, which works fine. What I'm writing about sprung up...

I have had my new computer up and running for a little over a month with NO problems. Suddenly, my modem driver is causing my computer to restart and the Microsoft Online crash Service says it is my Smartlink Modem driver and that I need the updated one to solve my problem. First issue: I have...

Hey everyone, thanks for the speedy replies! The first thing we tried yesterday was jumper settings, but we never tried 'no jumper'. That did the trick! At first I had a blank screen for about a minute and I was just about to reboot and XP started up. I'm glad it was so simple to fix. I was not...

OK, I just built a brand new computer with all new components. On the very first power-up, after the splash screens and the POST, the very last thing output was "BOOT DISK FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" I'm not much of an expert when it comes to building a computer from...
