Solved it!! Daft one this....the drive started being detected and then wouldn't so i did the usual stuff, changed IDE cable power connection etc.. nothing helped so i looked at the jumper and it looked a little chewed so i changed it and hey presto it has been fine since, windows found all the...

Yes its cabled right, OS should pick up all new hardware (i've done this loads of times with no probs)and install the majority, and i should be able to get other drivers from disk or website. It was home edition that was on it before and it ran ok but i agree it should have more. I didn't...

Many thanks, that works great, just what i was after. Can you recommend any site/book where i can learn more about formulas? Thanks Again Steve

Hi, I am looking for a formula for this. I want to enter data into the B column (mainly text)and i want the next cell in the A column to enter in a consecutive number right down as far as the B column has data. This is so that the data in column B is given an automatic reference number. If...

The way i wrote that is confusing, there was only ever one infrared port and it was listed in device manager as normal. It only ever showed up in the dial up properties for the tiscali connection, both listings of it were not the same (i can't remember the difference) but only one of them worked...

Hi I am using a dell laptop Win 2K and i was connecting to the net/email using my nokia phone as the modem. this because i am on a remote site and can't use landlines. It all worked fine till i had to format due to a crash. Now i cant get it to dial up. The port is enabled fine and works fine...

It sounds like the card is faulty, have you tried it in a different machine? if it is not even getting to a post check then the card must be faulty or else the bios is not up to date. How old is the board? Silver

Thanks for the help guys, i put a volcano in it and it now runs at 50c, and it has stopped crashing (strangely enough) The fan i had was obviously crap but all seems ok now Cheers Steve

I have taken the fan off and it as it should be, the fan is fitted correctly and the paper is off the heatsink. The cpu core is sitting in the middle of the paste just at the copper core of the fan. I don't see any brand on the fan, although it is 3 inches deep and looks like it should be ok. I...

The fan is on the correct way, and there is heatsink on it although just the stuff that comes with it already. Do you think i need to put some more on? Can you tell me what temp it should run at? Thanks

Hi All I have built this new pc and put an Athlon 2400 in with a gigabyte board, i am getting a random shutdown now and again (not a restart). It also gives a short alarm( sounds like the old nee naw police cars)just before it shuts. I notice in the manual that one of it's features is a...

Thanks for all the input, i have tried everything mentioned except the bios update cos my it is my friends pc and he does not want me to update it. I think that must be the problem even though the m/b is only a few years old. He has bought a radeon and that is fine and i have the geforce which...

yes i have done that, i also upgraded it to xp yesterday and installed the xp driver but it is doing the same thing. I think it will need to be a Radeon.
