"The data is invalid" when installing new drivers

I just bought an ATI-TV wonder for my w2k machine and now I am facing a (unresolved)problem that came up before with the video inputs on my geforce card. When windows tries to install the drivers, it finds matching drivers, but when it tries to install them, the wizard says it couldn't install...

Win2k random reboot problems and crashes

After applying that registry entry I had Quake3 and urban terror crash on me a few times, along with an explorer.exe error after I rebooted from applying the key. But then I did manage to play urban terror for an hour without any lock-ups. Quake3 however, I can't get to start a game because it...

Win2k random reboot problems and crashes

I uninstalled SP2 and reinstalled it. That all went smoothly except the uninstaller program had trouble restoring one of the older dlls. I told it to skip it and the rest of the uninstall was fine. Unfortunately, even after reinstalling SP2, its still locking up. I went into bios and changed...

Win2k random reboot problems and crashes

Yes, the mobo has the VIA KT266 chipset. But one of the first things I did after installing the os, lan card, and video card, was to apply service pack 2, so that patch you linked to should have already been applied. I tried downloading it but it said it could only be applied to sp1. Now that...

Win2k random reboot problems and crashes

Its the enlight 300W power supply that came with the case. I'm powering the motherboard, cpu, CPU fan, 1 agp card w/ cooling fan, 1 lan card, 1 soundcard, 2cd drives, 2 hds, one 3.5 floppy and one 5.25 floppy. I wondered if it were the power supply but I thought it unlikely since this started...

Win2k random reboot problems and crashes

I put together a new system about a month ago with a 1.4 Athlon on a Shuttle AK31 and the MSI Geforce card. I initially installed Win98 but switched to Win2k for the first time a few days ago. I've been having an occaisonal problem where the computer will suddenly reboot. It doesn't go...

help me choose a motherboard.

You might also consider the Shuttle AK31. I've been using mine for a few days now. Its fast and reliable (as long as your not using all 4 memory slots - 3 works fine though) and its only about $90US from www.mwave.com. Its made for AMD's chips. This one is a 1.4Ghz Athlon. elliot

Shuttle AK31

Has anyone had any experience with the shuttle AK31 board? I've found only two reviews of it. One of them, from VIAHardware (which I'd never seen before) is about a month old and was extremely negative of the board. According to them, it's performance was about half that of other DDR boards...
