Compatability check please.

Will an Enermax Noisetaker II psu work with an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mobo in an ATX form factor case? What exactly is ATX 2.2? Thanks.

Fans / Temps Questions

I'll have to take a closer look at the fans. I don't remember any arrows or anything for direction when I installed them. At any rate, they're all installed the same direction so I think I need to change a couple for proper airflow. Actually, it really isn't that noisy. It's just a light...

Windows XP Home - log in problem on boot up.

Both were checked so I unchecked them and restarted. The window still popped up but this time it stayed so I could actually read the whole thing and click OK without hurrying. Then had to log in with my password. It read: The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and...

Fans / Temps Questions

I have an Aspire X-plorer case that came with (2) 80mm blue LED fans. One was installed on the very back and the other on the top. I think they're both pushing air out as the exhaust but I'm not completely sure because it feels as air is coming both in and out of these two. Both are...

Windows XP Home - log in problem on boot up.

I've been using 98 forever and have only had XP for a couple weeks now so I'm unfamiliar with a lot of its stuff. I turn on the computer and it does its normal boot up stuff and this window pops up and states something to the effect of, "The system could not log you on. Somthing about...

Manual just states moving the jumper from pin 1,2 to 2,3 clears the CMOS. Do I reboot with it in the 2,3 position? It isn't clear on that.

No problem, I didn't take is a being rude. A little smug perhaps but that's cool. :) I did click the link but that's written in a language I don't understand and would take me hours to translate. Why do you recommend clearing the CMOS? What will that do exactly?

Since we're discussing -5V lines, my original Enermax 425W had a bad -5V line according to the local computer shop. But when I look at the info for the Enermax Noisetaker 425W it doesn't even list a -5V line. What am I missing here?
