I have seen this on NUMEROUS asus boards bought from medium sized pc retailers. it's almost like they get old stock or something, lol. CR2302 lithium battery...abt $2...has always solved THAT...

    Extra heat with Hyperthreading off?

    the reason that your cpu temp is higher is because without hyperthreading, you are using more processing power for the same tasks. Hyper threading is a "virtual" processor, like and extra set of registers for handling data. because of this, with hyperthreading enabled, tasks that normally use...

    BRNAD NEW AMD PROCESSOR, Don't know whats wrong with it.

    i'd check your psu's rating over the amperage of installed components. also, make sure that mem timings are set proerly. going from 2-3-2-6-1 to 2-2-3-6-1 will give you exactly the same behavior, as well as possibly BSOD's the only right answer to "why?" is: "why not?"

    About ASUS "A7V880" VIA KT880 Chipset Motherboard for AMD ?

    A7v880...good board. first via chipset with agp/pci lock for overclockers, and voltage all the way up to 1.9v. faster than my nforce2 ultra board(ga-7n400pro2), but slightly higher cpu utilization to get the faster access times over nforce(via"2x") IDE access require double the cpu utilization...

    "Virtual" Network Cards

    the reason you see the virtual adapter is because PPPoE is ppp ( or point to point) over ethernet..or analogue over digital, and the virtual adapter is what handles the conversion. the only right answer to "why?" is: "why not?"

    How to start DHCP client service after renew lease failed

    Brain dead gone... your isp was proly blocking bridged coonections(opens back door into network). The reason that is have founs to be the cause of most of the exact symptoms described is removal of a firewall with the firewall enabled. As the best that i can determine, the filter stays in...

    cable internet and LAN

    one thing..some isp's don't permit bridged connections..I know that we don't. I haven't been able to figure out how it is that our server identify that a connection is bridged, but becasue ics using a "bridged" connection, it will not work. Something to keep in mind. the only right answer to...

    Problems with Sending/Receiving E-mail and with Internet

    DNS IS THE ONLY CAUSE THAT I CAN THINK OF....DNS CONVERTS DOMAIN ADDY'S TO IP, AND IF YOU HAD THE WRONG DNS SERVER IN YOU TCP STACK, IT WOULD EXPLAIN ALOT...TRY CHECKING ANOTHER CLIENT ON THE NETWORK AND SEE IF YOU HAVE THE SAME DNS AS THE OTHER....PROBABLY YOU DO NOT. the only right answer to...

    msconfig

    I AGREE WITH ADMIN...SERVICES.MCS IS ALOT BETTER AS IT GIVES YOU A DISCRIPTION OF ALL THE SERVICES WHEN YOU PAUSE YOUR CURSOR OVER THEM...THIS MAKES DISABLING STUFF ALOT SAFER. YOU CAN INADVERTENTLY DISABLE A NESSECARY SERVICE FOR A PROGRAM AND NOT REALIZE IT UNTIL YOU REALLY NEED IT....AS WELL...

    faster processor makes windows run slower???

    I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROB GOING FROM AN 1800+ TO A 2400+, AND BELIVE ME I WAS PISSED. BUT, I SOLVED THE PROB BY BACKING UP AND REINSTALLING WINDOWS. THIS MAY BE DRASTIC, BUT FROM THE SOUNDS OF THINGS YOU HAVE 2 HD'S SO THE TRANSFER SHOULD NOT BE SO BAD. AS WELL, YOU MAY HAVE ALOT MORE STUFF...

    Cant see workgroup.

    have you checked for firewalls on that machine? if you've installed the IPv6 update or the blaster worm update on that machine there is a good chance you have the windows firewall enabled, or barring that a pcillin or some other firewall. make sure as well that the drives are mapped... this is...

    Which is faster: Pentium-M or Pentium 4?

    a mobile chip will be a little slower due to the power management stuff going on(shuts down cpu parts not used to conserve battery). I heard that they changed the way it worked with the centrino chipsets and that it was good to go....the one thing you never said was if this was for a laptop or...

    AMD or Pentium?

    i found it interesting that noone has mentioned that the amd processors run @ a lower fsb frequecy and maintain consistently high mathematical calculations/second than a pentium running @ the same bus speed.....think about it for a moment...800mhz fsb pentium or 400 mhz athlon....which uses more...

    Pings Every 2 Minutes

    if a service is running that uses resources such as a shared drive and gets no connection it will try pinging dns to make sure it's alive and that the arp cache does not need to be renewed. Address resolution protocol is for the conversion of mac id's to local ip. Some applications out there...
