    I've tried with both CD and DVD, and get the same set of error messages.

    Acer Aspire X3200 - Virus? Won't boot or reinstall

    PS, does it make any difference if I use a CD or a DVD for the Boot disk?

    Acer Aspire X3200 - Virus? Won't boot or reinstall

    Acer Aspire X3200 - Virus? Won't boot or reinstall

    Good point RyanEOD, I'll take it out and reseat it when I do the Boot CD. I might have another machine that takes SATA, (SATA is fairly new to me) will try that too. Thanks Ryan

    Acer Aspire X3200 - Virus? Won't boot or reinstall

    I'm downloading the .iso from UBCD I use Nero and can burn .iso's no problem. So I just boot from this UB CD I burn, then it will let me run diagnostics? I remember in the BIOS there were no HDD's detected, and no means to detect. I'll give this Boot CD a go and report back. Thanks for the...

    Acer Aspire X3200 - Virus? Won't boot or reinstall

    Hi, I was passed an Acer Aspire X3200 the other day and was told it had a virus... I booted it up, but it just hung at the Vista progess bar screen. Nothing else will happen. I managed to have a look at the BIOS, nothing wrong there I think. I then put an XP installation disk in to format C...

    50MB psd taking ages to open..and other slowness...pagefile?

    Thanks for the replies all. I still have the above machine, but I took delivery of a laptop recently, and have transferred all my data to that. It has SATA drives, and 4GB memory - so will do for now. Maybe I'll drag out the old Desktop on a rainy day and get it filled up with memory. Once...

    50MB psd taking ages to open..and other slowness...pagefile?

    Hi, I've looked around and cannot seem to find a specific solution to my problem. I hope someone can help! I have a 50MB .psd file (photoshop CS2) that has 6 layers (basic line drawing, text layer, filled blocks...) and everytime I open it it takes 5-10 minutes to open! Then after the widow...

    n00bie Q: Website Text location, Firefox vs IE

    Hi, I'm not very experienced building websites, but the site I just built (and am still building) www.lowplainfarmhouse.com. The problem is with how the text places itself in either browser, it aligns to the left with no probs in Firefox, but when I load it in Internet Explorer 7, the text has...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    OK, I used CPU-Z on the processor, and it still shows up single core P4@2.8GHz. Interesting little program there, good for checking the spec's on a processor. Hmm, the P4 running here is running fine, I've tweaked the memory, but still wanna get another gig (only got 1GB at the moment) Update...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Right, and update for the thread... Long story short, I ended up swooping in on a lot on ebay that said it contained a dualcore@1.6GHz, a core2duo@1.8GHz, one processor installed on an ASrock P4vm800 mobo. There was also a DVD/CDR/RW, 1GB Memory, 350W powersupply, floppydrive, video card...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Ahhh, good point! A major oversight on my part, thanks for bringing it up. Yes, it's AGP4x - a GeForce 6200, 256MB, DDR2... Depending on the board I get, there seem to be some GeForce onboard graphics that sem to be better than the GeForce6200. but, depending on the mobo I get, and the price...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Wow, I love this place! =) K, I'll probably keep away from that second one, thanks for the heads up. In comparison, I should've noticed the inferior hardware, as I really am warming to this Core 2 Duo thang! I've emailed the guy about the heatsink/fan, but if I win it for a decent price, then...

    Or this? - Damn cheap! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MSI-Motherborad-Bundle-Intel-Pentium-4-3-20GHz-1GB_W0QQitemZ220329680743QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motherboards_CPUs?hash=item220329680743&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1300|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Hmm, this looks good, has SATA & IDE (UDMA66 support for the ATA133 HDs I have), comes with 4GBDDR2, 2.66Ghz Core 2 Duo, PCI2.2 slots & 2 x PCI-Ex16 slots. Great for expansion...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Hehe, I think you may have sold me on the core 2! (Even tho I keep peeking at the Athlon 64 x2, a tad cheaper!) - how about comparing a Core 2 with the Athlon 64 x2? Please =) I've found a few core 2 Mobo/CPU bundles on eBay for just under £100 to way beyond my budget, but from the £100-150...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Very interesting kjv, thanks for the post. So, If I go for either a pentium 4, an Athlon 64 x2, or an Intel 'Core' processor, then that would be a good start yea? I'd really wanna get as fast a processor as I can, anything between 2 and 3Ghz I have 1Gb (2x512)DDR memory so would need to find...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Hi, I've had a good old think, and am probably gonna upgrade (thanks to a very kinds friend) even though I only upgraded a few months ago! But, I'm not gonna give up on the Mobo. I have a friend who has 3/4 PC's hanging around doing nothing, so I may be able to get a working PSU out (and hey...

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Tried replacing the Geforce 6400/256MB with a GeForce 4000/64MB...and still nothing. Yes, I did unplug the cables from the mainboard when I was trying to setup without a HDD. I tried them in the the IDE 3&4 but nothing, and have plugged them back into IDE 1&2.

    PC not booting, tried CMOS reset, reseat etc...

    Hmmm, still nothing happening. I do hear the beep though, almost immediately after pressing the on button. The disks are accessed, and run, eventually they stop being accessed after maybe a minute or so... ,whether on the RAID IDEs(IDE3&4) or the others (IDE1&2) I've also tried resetting the...
