    Odd problem, CMOS and Boot.

    I was checking the power supply levels. My +3.3V line is running a little bit low. ~.3-.4V low. Would this cause many problems? I have tried unpluging the other HDD, but it seems it didn't relieve it at all. I have a 300W PS in there, I wonder if it is just getting tierd. I tried moving my...

    Cruzer 512MB USB2.0 thumb drive..

    If you look at hdd's its the same way. I have a 120GB SATA Drive and its showing up at like 114GB. Its the FAT32 system. I wonder if you could format it to the NTFS... ??? nvm, my SATA is NTFS... But I don't think there is anyway to stop the loss of space.

    Dead computer?

    Check also the front panel connectors (specifically the DC SW or the POWER Switch) Thats going on a limb though. More than likely someone forgot the MB risers. These little things that bring the MB off of the case.

    Odd problem, CMOS and Boot.

    I am leaning towards it either being one of the following. Most likly being at the top. 1. Memory Instibility 2. BIOS/CMOS errors ( after POST ) 3. IDE/SATA HDD controller 4. Partially Dead MB

    Cruzer 512MB USB2.0 thumb drive..

    Partition Magic 8 might be able to do it, If setup can PM8 should. You also might try the Computer Management Applet in Administrative Tools.

    Dual Channel DDR on Pentium 4 vs Athlon XP

    The new AMD 64s also benifit with the on dye mem controller (I think). Get a AMD64 now (939 pin) and you will be set. 1.) I agree, I have better times with memory that is matched. 2.) I hate intel, even though I might be going to work for them...

    Odd problem, CMOS and Boot.

    That was one of the first things I did.

    Odd problem, CMOS and Boot.

    The CMOS keeps the settings because it shows up the same way each time. POST displays the CPU as either the 2500 or 3200 which ever way I have it.

    CheckSum Error

    I finally just upgraded the mobo. I believe that I accedently caused a ESD on the circuitry. I replaced the BIOS chip, but that didn't work. Oh well, another MB for my wall...

    Odd problem, CMOS and Boot.

    Well, here is an interesting one... I just got a new motherboard (NFII), memory (PMI 3200), SATA HDD (Segate 120GB) and put it in my computer. When I booted up my computer, it hung at the point where the Windows logo comes up. The bar kept moving, but after 20 minutes I finally just turned it...

    CheckSum Error

    That is the only way that I am on right now. But my computer is running at a Athlon 1100 Mhz. I cannot access the CMOS, if i try... Just a blank cursor. THe computer will only start one time per bios reset. And i have also tried flashing the rom, but it dosn't work.

    CheckSum Error

    Hi, i am getting the same error on my Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, it came out of the blue... I cant access Cmos at all, my cpu is regestering at a ATHLON 1100+ instead of a athlon 3200+. Will replacing the battery let me get into cmos?
