I'm setting up the software on a new build. I was just going to use MSE as an antivirus(after years of using AVG I just want to use something new), and Comodo Firewall (I used Zone Alarm...but I've only seen scornful comments about it as of late). One of the things I want of a firewall is to...
"I received the BIOS chip from [Asrock] and carefully installed it as per instructions, with the dot facing the correct way.
The computer will not POST. The fans will come on, but that is all. There is no beep, and there are only two zeros in the debug screen on the motherboard. With just...
Thanks for the replies, everyone. I almost went the Sempron route, but contacted their tech support first. I cannot talk on the phone so I had to email, and I fully expected the response to be delayed by a few days or more. However, I got an email back within the hour. :)
After I emailed...
Putting an 8120 on an Extreme4 970, but the BIOS version is one version below what supports the AM3+ cpus. I don't have another AMD chip to put in the mobo to do this. Is there ANY way to flash the bios without a) sending the board to Asrock, b) taking the board to a local computer shop? Will...
Does bitcoin mining generate enough internet traffic to make your ISP think you're running torrents 24/7? Thinking of giving this a try with a spare PC if I spruce it up a little with a decent graphics card. Only has an Intel 478 cpu, tho. Not sure if that's good enough. Seems like this is a...
I thought I posted it here, but apparently it got started as another thread. This is a copy of the note I wrote.
Just FYI, trying to keep it short...
Finished computer:

Originally ordered only one stick of a 512 XMS3700 but got these two instead...forgot to RMA...
I don't THINK I've seen it in these threads...but shouldn't the PC37000 Corsair chips run good in the IS7? The articles and reviews commented on the PC3500s, and that the board ran better, but the PC3700 466 mHz should be okay, right? I'm thinking about sending back the one-stick 512MB Corsair...
Thanks for the reply. I'm beginning the backup/copying to a USB drive and CDs today.
It looks like I'll have to do something with the programs I put on my second HDD, too. I installed them to the second disk because I ran out of room for large installs on the boot disk. It might not be so bad...
I just found this forum that deals with the IS7...I'm beginning to worry.
I ordered an IS7 standard (with firewire), one stick of Corsair's XMSPC3200 512MB, and the P4 2.6C. Should be here either Monday or Tuesday. I'm planning on taking out my AT7-max (the first one) with an XP2000 and...
