WinXP frequent BSOD problems! Help please!

Two of the computers at work recently started to crash frequently to BSOD screen. Either that or they'd reboot themselves, though after I disable automatic reboots in Windows this became less frequent (still happens occasionally though!) The error message that most frequently appear on the BSOD...

Vehicle compass with temp 29.99 Today

I disagree. A compass can be very useful when you're lost. At least you know which way you're going on a particular road. Not too long ago I rented a Mercury Sable that just happen to have that compass in the mirror thingy, and it helped me in numerous situation. But maybe I'm just prone to...

Opinions on SIS Chipset motherboards?

I just upgraded to a P4 1.6a and MSI 645 Ultra mobo (SIS 645). Seems to run just fine at 2.1gz, and even at 2.2gz.

Computer can't soft boot!

As stated in the post above, it does this whether or not I overclock. It's a minor inconvenience, but it would be great if this can be solved...

Computer can't soft boot!

I just upgraded my computer to a P4 1.6a and MSI 645 Ultra mobo. It's running fine at 2.2ghz, except that it always failed to soft boot, i.e. when I choose "restart" on the Windows 98 SE start menu, it reboot but failed to go all the way back to Windows. It would hang with 1 long beep and 8...

ignore

Just posted a question about a computer upgrade problem (no parallel port recognized) but previous owner had provided an answer. Sorry to bother! No problem. Next time you'll be on vacation though. ;) AnandTech Moderator

Upgrade time! Recommendation please?

Thanks! So, is Newegg's AXDA2100DUT3C a good stepping for overclocking? Looks like Newegg don't carry that Twinmoss memory you mentioned. I'd rather order everything from one place. What other memory are good for the twinbank setup? How about Corsair XMS? Kingston? Mushkin, Samsung? Newegg...

Upgrade time! Recommendation please?

I think it's finally time to upgrade my wheezing Celeron 566@850. I've been putting this upgrade off for ever! But some of the latest games are stating to stutter, even at 800x600x16 and most details on medium (low detail generally looks really crappy), so... Anyway, I'm gonna get a nforce 2...

Socket A/XP with SDR + DDR

Regarding the AK32A, while the Shuttle website has info for it, if you look at their download page, there's no manual specifically for AK32A for download. Nor there is any drivers or BIOS update for it. It's just not listed. So is this board any good? It does use the presumably good VIA KT266A...

Socket A/XP with SDR + DDR

There's also Shuttle AK32A, though it was apparently new and little information is available about it. Uses VIA KT266A chipset. Has integrated audio but no integrated video (good!) Any info about this one is much appreciated! Also, I can't seem to find any site that sells Asus A7A266-E. Is...

Shuttle AK32A any good?

Oh, they are new... I didn't know that. No wonder there's no manual specifically for it to download at Shuttle's website. Hmmm, the MSI K7T Turbo2 uses KT133 chipset, whereas the AK32A uses KT266A. Will that makes big difference? Also MSI's site does not list T-bred at all with this...

Shuttle AK32A any good?

I ran into that review too. Naturally it didn't say much about the AK32A itself, though! :D How about that Shuttle AK32L you have? The local Micro Center have it for $56. Probably even cheaper online. But I don't know if it'll even take Thoroughbred Athlon? Being based on older chipsets and...

Shuttle AK32A any good?

I've been exploring the possibility of cheaply upgrading my computer this Christmas (sorry, "Holiday Season" :) ) I'm planning to get an Athlon T-bred 1800+ to replace my Celeron 566@850 on Abit BH6 (is this considered a 'classic' by now? :D ) Of course I need a new motherboard, but I want to...
