I am on the 2nd day of ownership of a Uniden CLX 485 Digital Answering System and very happy with the purchase. I bought a new one with the UPC neatly removed and paid $71.99 before shipping and handling on Amazon.com. The UPC missing was not a big deal for me since the rebate offers on this...
BIOS 1.A and 1.B have resolved this issue for me. The notes for these BIOS versions do not say they fix the shutdown bug, but I experienced it during all BIOS versions from 1.4 thru 1.9. If you already have BIOS 1.B installed and Windows is still hanging on shutdown, the issue may be something...
I was only interested in the 300 GB SATA 7200.9, so I did not ask about every drive. The model list is here. The number for Presales in the Americas is 1-877-271-3285.
I spoke with a Seagate Presales representative today. He said the 250 and 300 GB drives should hit the market sometime in Q1 2006. He would not pin it down to one month or three from now.
I just wanted to post back regarding the "Shutdown Bug," my only issue with this board. On 10/19, I tried a recommendation from KitC to switch from the Marvell to the nVidia LAN controller. This apparently worked for him/her and seemed to be the answer to my prayers. I have shutdown my system...
Zhar, thanks for the suggestion. My System Failure|Automatically Restart check box was unchecked at the time of this incident and others.
KitC, thanks for your suggestion. I am presently using the Marvell LAN controller and will give the nVidia LAN controller a try to see if that does the...
Regrettably, the "Shutdown Bug" I was previously experiencing while using BIOS 1.9 has come back to haunt me while using BIOS 1.6! It happened during my 12th shutdown since downgrading to BIOS 1.6. While commanding a shutdown, a restart instead happened. CHKDSK ran and again corrupted my...
MSI responds regarding BIOS 1.9:
"Dear Customer,
Sorry for not replying previously in regards to your issue we do have customers using this bios version with no issues at all it would seem that you have a piece of hardware or software that maybe the cause if can...
After reading the cobbler's recommendation to reinstall the nVidia 6.66 chipset drivers following a BIOS 1.9 upgrade, I decided it was worth a try. For days, it seemed to have fixed the previous problem I was experiencing with shutdowns. Unfortunately, it appears I may have been premature in...
Consumers Reports latest edition, Nov 05, arrived in yesterday's mail and has a whole section of ratings on digital cameras. You can probably read the review at your local library.
I got this reply from Seagate today:
Presales appreciates your interest in the new upcoming 7200.9 drives.
Presently there are none available in the market and some resellers are
taking pre-orders at this time.
Presales has been advised that these drives would be out possibly late...
I found boot times to be significantly reduced after installing AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP 1.2.2.2, located here. Did you install this driver?
I just sent off the message below to MSI. Has anyone else tried BIOS 1.9 and experienced this "Shutdown" bug? I will publish MSI's response when I get one.
"I have been using BIOS 1.9 since it came out. Unfortunately, I must say it still has the "Shutdown" bug that was in BIOS 1.8! I have...
MSI responds regarding BIOS 1.8:
"Dear Customer,
We have not encountered any issues with updating bios to version 1.8 and losing sound if can please flash back down to your original bios version but if have updated driver as well also please try updating the NVIDIA...
