For Roger - GOAOZ Checked out the BIOS and it is updated to a version that's supposed to support Sempron. Just have the feeling the MB isn't totally compatible with the CPU, even with the updated BIOS. Haven't had as many restart problems since I removed every extra peripheral I could. Also...

Thanks Roger I'll check out that BIOS. You are right that I'll think quite a while before I send business to that particular supplier. My photographer son had bought a large number of entire systems after I sent him there. He's been a little miffed, also. There don't seem to be many system...

Thanks Tony. Have already checked out the PSU. Swapped out the 380W Antec that comes in the case with a 2 fan 420W Antec that's in the older PIII. Wasn't the problem. Swapped it back for obvious reasons. Thought about the PSU right away because I've had to upgrade in the other computers. The...

Has anyone seen incompatibility with the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe board and a Sempron processor? This combination has been a problem from day 1 and builder refuses to recognize that there's a problem! Had it put together in January 2005. System components: Asus A7N8X-E motherboard witn Sempron 2600+...

Have set up new computer quite often by saving data on available media, then reinstalling software on new computer. In old DOS days, it was easy to use Laplink and a serial cable to move the whole thing from one to another. Have a new case, MB, CPU, etc. ordered to go with recent monitor, mouse...

Thanks Paparazi for your great reply. I suspected as much about availability of the DL media, but, like you said, if I'm putting together something new, might as well have the capability when available and price gets better. I really like the external USB drive. I have a Simple Tech 120GB, USB...

Planning to get a new computer put together in a couple of weeks. Has been suggested I get a combo CD-RW/DVD dual layer drive. I can't find any info on media used. All DVD disks I see state capacity as 4.7gb. Can't find much on the theory of "dual-layer." Does it use the 4.7 gb disk, but write...

This is on same subject as previous question about freezes/lockups. Thought I had solved the problem of writing to the USB Simple Drive, but surprise, surprise it still happens. Called Simple Tech Support and was not surprised to be told the problem is with the operating system, not the drive. I...

Thanks greatly for the link to Power Supply Calculator. Looks like I need to find a larger power supply very soon. I'm sure it can't hurt to have a bit extra.
