Ok thanks PeteC, could have been a bit of a disaster! :rolleyes: I think I'll try to update the BIOS when I get home, but failing that I think...
Yes, that's where I got them. I'm willing to try again though. No, I choked a bit at doing this (because of the warnings on the same asrock...
I was hoping you wouldn't say that! :eek: Ok, if that's the way to go, anybody got any suggestions on decent ones to buy. I don't want to spend a...
And again, BSOD even after the changes I have mentioned. This time the same part of the debuglog says: BugCheck 50, {80d4b456, 0, 80d4b456, 0}...
Ok, I'm home now and here's a follow up, having had a BSOD when the computer was sitting idle. The modem is still out: Connected were (at...
Done! I have no intention of putting it back in. I think this is where the modem was, it was the uppermost slot anyway. There are only two...
Ok I'll try that, however (.... the nightmare never ends). Having removed the graphics card and uninstalled the drivers, I thought everything...
This sounds SOOO familiar. My computer was exactly the same, I actually left it longer than you have, until it was going off every time, sometimes...
Hi OodLes, I agree about the community here - they are very knowledgeable and helpful. As PeteC says, check out the thread I started. The...
What a nightmare!!! :( :( I put everything back in its place one by one, it was all working perfectly. I thought "ok, I'll put the graphics...
Yeah, that's where I got the CAS latency from. Incidentally, I checked in the BIOS and it's set to AUTO, but as it is coming out at 2.5 I thought...
According to Everest: Memory timings: CAS Latency: 2.5T RAS to CAS Delay: 3T RAS Precharge: 3T RAS Active time: 7T Is the CAS Latency...
I think this is where the problem lay. In my manager program (Xear 3D Audio Config) when I set the connections for 6 speakers, the graphic changes...
I think I'll just buy a decent soundcard and stop being a cheapskate! :rolleyes:
Couldn't agree more, I'll be taking it slow. Its hard to understand how plugging a speaker into an output socket can cause so much grief, but...
This is why I said two "outputs" and the "mic" socket - I know this is generally an input socket. However, when I have the sub and centre...
Hi - just a quick update. I have held off on the memory stuff for the moment, but I will do these things when I have an operational system again....
Thanks again, your knowledge goes way beyond mine. As a follow up, I have been running the PC for hours now with the 'bare bones' system, the only...
Thanks Rockster, I'm afraid I am on my 2nd lot of memory, I started with 1 stick 512Mb DDR333. I checked this with Memtest and it checked fine....
Thanks PeteC, I have no video card in my system at the moment, I took it out a while ago when I was blaming it for my problems, I'm just using...
