My MOBO monitor shows the battery voltage at 3.18 volts.

The other voltages for +12/-12, +3/-3 and 5 read well too.

Could I have a voltage problem with my AGP slot? When I get the startup...

What should the battery voltage be?

The pattern I'm seeing is that I have the problem in the morning after the computer has been off for the night. If the computer is turned on and off during the...

After boot up my HD is just fine and it doesn't make any noises.

I've been running WinXP for 16 months now so my last fresh install was January 2002.

By MOBO is a Soyo SY-6BA-IV and I'm running...

Is there anyway to pre-determine hard drive problems?

I'll check the capacitors when I get home from work.


Thanks.

I've been using the same computer (MOBO) for almost 3 1/2 years now and have never had any hardware problems until now.

Over the past week when I turn on my computer it begins the boot process but...

DOH!

I didn't have the NWLink IPX/SPX/NewBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol installed on all 4 of the computers. All problems cleared immediately upon installing this on those that didn't have it...

1. All systems have the same workgroup name.
2. Each computer has a unique name.

3. What do I need to set the sharing through IPX/SPX over TCP/IP? The closet thing I can find to IPX/SPX says...

No

All 4 PC's have WinXP PRO.

Since I'm connected to a router their IP's are 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102 and 192.168.1.103. All 4 reach the internet. All 4 have file and print and...

I got a Linksys router and all four of my computers are accessing the internet well.

But I have one problem. The newest computer, the laptop, does not recognize the other three computers and...

After a little more research the Linksys router allows expansion beyond the 4 ports by allowing one to attach to an uplink port which the D-link doesn't have. I have a need for this.

Need a little advice.

I've been happy with my 3 computer network for a long time. I have a 4 port switch connected to my cable modem and then my 3 computers attached to the switch. My son just...

I'll keep you updated.

Thanks a lot YeOldeStonecat.

Thank you for your explanation. I think I understand what you are saying.

The two or three or four computers for a brief period of time will all appear to be a part of the network and then they...

I'll try this tonight when I get home. Two questions:

(1) Do we still need Master Browser running as a service on the laptop?

(2) Can you fill in a few details on what is happening and how...

I haven't looked at the event viewer enties.

XP firewall is turned off, this is the first thing I checked.

I checked services and Master Browser is running. In the future the laptop will...

I have a small home network at home with 3 computers all running WinXP PRO connected through a switch to my cable modem. We've been running this for three years, 1 year under WinXP. And it is still...

The slave drive was the culprit. I could hear a constant knocking at boot time in that drive. Ran the master only and everything is ok, IDE controller no longer confused. Fortunately the slave...

The bottom line is that:

From the MOBO side...

(1) IDE on the MOBO is defective.
(2) IDE on the MOBO is turned off.

or from the HDD / cable side... (based on one cable, two HDD's)

(3)...

In my case the master is not seen by the bios. The bios can't see any drives on IDE 1. The bios does see the CDROM on IDE 2.

Please confirm this...

I have two HDD's (master and slave) connected to a single IDE port with a single cable. The slave drive dies. Is it possible for the death of the slave drive to cause both...

So far everything we've ordered from these have shown up on the expected date and was not broken. Since we've never had any need for a RMA I can't...

I have an AX-7 too. I bought the 80mm Vantec fan which is comparable to the Delta fan but was a couple of bucks cheaper at the time. The AX-7 / 80mm fan combo really works well with the hot AMD XP...

Anyone running PCI bus at 38Mhz or 39Mhz?

I have a SY-6BA-IV (440BX chipset) with a PIII 600Mhz processor and 3 x 128 mb Sdram. I've been steadily speeding it up. I'm currently running it at 113x6 = 678Mhz, PCI = 37Mhz. I would like to...

There are PCI IDE controller cards made by Promise, SIIG and others in which can add additional hard drives, CD's and the like or use these cards to bypass the builtin IDE controllers altogther.

Thanks. We've look at several now and like the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP.:)

Just a general question.

My sons want to put a new MOBO + CPU + memory in their PC.

What are a half a dozen or so good choices for the MOBO? They want to use a Athlon XP CPU in the 1.5 Ghz...
