Nothing cautionary. It is the latest and what I have been running for over a year now atleast. The Magic Bios is a program you install and run it in Windows. It's a small window, load it up, and hit the C to check for a new bios version. If it finds one you hit the button below the C and get...

I've never had a problem using the Magicbios. I used it several times and I have the latest bios. IMO it works flawlessly. That's what I would suggest. Looks like you may have taken the last Toledo 4200 because newegg stock is out at the moment.

i have the 4 x 512 and dont have any problems with my ram (corsair vs). i use the factory timings and you have to use 2T. BF2 and fear combat run totally fine. FYI, i also have my 3000 o/c'd to 2.4 and still no issues.

i have never touched my chipset voltage away from 1.5, when overclocking or not. i haven't had any problems with it, so i haven't had to.

i just shut down my main programs. i use my router as my firewall so i don't have a software one. i also don't shut down my anti virus. i haven't had any problems yet. if you use a router there's no point in the extra firewall. sounds like your firewall and/or spy sweeper should do the...

the best thing to do is remove all nvidia drivers, except display, reboot, cancel found new hardware, and install the drivers that you already downloaded. that's it; but yes, reboot is recommended. as for the site, i haven't seen any issues. just nvidia.com, find your driver, that's it...

6.86 is the latest; released july 06. only the latest drivers come up on the search. if you have 6.70, what are you confused about? it shows the number at the top after you select nforce/nf4 amd/winxp, Go.

i guess i'm a perfect example. i recently installed a second sound card in the bottom pci slot to compare it to my other one, which i disabled. i noticed the other day that it and my vga are sharing IRQ 18. i am having no problems whatsoever though. i'd say it was because you had two video...

in the end, it's your fault for not RMA'ing it. contact epox support. have you messed with the bios settings? tried usb 1.1? do you have the service packs installed? install latest nforce drivers correctly? i would recommend not installing the firewall/active armor or the NAM. i...

have you checked your voltages? make sure they're high enough? could you have a bad power supply or not enough juice?

i dont see how your xp got fried. could you get back into the bios? try raising voltage a bit? try a hard boot on your pc? i had to with mine a couple times. did you try reset cmos jumper? i bet if you wouldve done some of these that you would not have to do a xp recovery. i'm sure it...

your voltage and temps seem way too high. best thing to do like i did is turn off auto vcore. it doesnt need near that much and is probably hurting the life of your cpu. the smartfan has temps settings in increments of 5, with 35 being the lowest so thats where i set mine. i havent seen...
