Bios Chips

Thank you all for your replies. I know these are strictly moderated boards, so I didn't want to make a long post only to find it was in the wrong place. If this is indeed the correct place, then I'll explain the reason for my question in detail. Thanks again. Michael.

Bios Chips

I apologise if this is in the wrong place, but I'm not sure where to ask this so.............. Would anyone know if a virus or similar could infect an actual physical bios chip? I mean in the sense that it could actually reprogram it, or at least affect the chip in the same way as flashing...

No POST or beeps...

I had a similar problem recently and it was in fact, a dead PSU. That would be my first place to start. Michael.

How I would Design A Graphics Card

Take a VIA Crusoe or Transmeta 1ghz CPU and stick that on the card. Remember, they run fanless. Add on maybe 512mb or 1ghz Laptop memory and there we go, end of bottlenecks. Or is this too simple? Michael.

Outlook Express Problem

It worked! Ran Regedt and removed everything which was named Outlook Express, reinstalled and it's fine. Strange how it got corrupted in the first place, though. Thanks for the idea! Michael.

Outlook Express Problem

Thanks for the reply. It's IE 6 SP1 with all the updates and I'm the only identity. Actually, you've got me thinking now, I might just delete the folder and stuff, then reinstall it again. I'll keep you posted. Michael.

Outlook Express Problem

Win2K Pro, Outlook Express was operating fine this afternoon, but tonight, it now hangs at the splash screen, using 99% CPU Power! I downloaded all the components and reinstalled again, but same problem. Any ideas? Nothing was removed/altered. Michael.

Frustrated noob linux user... I NEED HELP WITH MY ONBOARD NIC

Well, thanks for that. I tried Knoppix direct from the CD but I got the same problems. I also subscribed to a Mandrake Usenet group today for help, but they were so snooty that I've already unsubscribed!! What I'll do, if you and others don't mind, is I'll start a new topic tomorrow and I'll...

Frustrated noob linux user... I NEED HELP WITH MY ONBOARD NIC

Without distracting from Tbirdkids original thread, I must say that Mandrake installs without any problems whatsoever for me, in less than 30 minutes too. The problem for me is what happens once I try to use it!! I've cleaned out the partition and reinstalled it at least 9 times since Thursday...

Frustrated noob linux user... I NEED HELP WITH MY ONBOARD NIC

I agree with you, Tbirdkid, I've had nothing but problems trying to set up Mandrake 9.1 on my PC for the past 5 days and this is supposed to be one of the most user friendly distros! Like you, I'm about ready to throw the towel in. If it's ever going to gain acceptance, it has to become a lot...

Motherboard recommendation for Celeron?

Look at my signature below, the Epox board is very good, only problem for you is that it doesn't support DDR memory. Michael.

Check this configuration for me, please...

Get a combo DVD/CDRW and leave out any floppy disk drives. Michael.
