VIRUSVIRUSVIRUS. The particulars aren't important, but it seems that you do have a virus. Virus scanners are NOT perfect, and any new virus that doesn't conform to current signatures sneaks right...

Maybe I am missing the point, but the at command is free. try starting the scheduler service and using at to allow nt to back up the data. I have a few customers that can't affod to spend a lot,...

The 266 Athlons are engineered to run on 133 motherboards - there is no *real* 266mhz fsb. It should work fine!

Using thermal grease is a neccesity, not an option. Overusing thermal grease is nearly as bad as not using it at all. Be careful!

As to the cheapo heat sink working fine, this is kinda your...

Well, that most likely eliminates those two pieces of hardware. How about your memory - is it name brand or generic? Do you ever have any problems with bsod's or freezes under normal operation?

Sounds like you got lucky. Not all Thunderbirds run as cool as yours - many run MUCH hotter! I have never seen a Thunderbird at over 1ghz run that cool without a mondo heatsink fan combo. COnsider...

OK Casey, lets start with the obvious:

Have you downloaded the latest 4 in 1 drivers?

Have you flashed your bios to the latest, greatest version?

Have you updated all of your hardware...

300 watts (if it is REALLY 300) is more than adequate in most instances. Is the power supply AMD certified?
What is the cpu temp when it drop back to the desktop? <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif"...

If the case is properly engineered, it will actually increase the temperature when you...

When I was a bench tech I had a guy come in with a busted up powerbook that he had sat on top of his truck and forgotten. When he drove off, it fell off. He wanted it repaired under warranty. What...

I feel your pain. This happened to me and I fought with it for a couple of days. I bent the bracket and the card fit better, but slowly popped out whille the pc was running. I finally resolved it...

Did you read the wholepost?
If your assumption was the case, then why did it work fine before the processor upgrade? I would bet the heatsink was not installed properly. This is why I buy AMD you...

I am dissapointed that someone would spread misinformation like this. I agree that in a 5' 10BT cable it will work as long as the wires match on both ends, but that is not the right way to do it.

Jeez help, this isn't a store to sell products.

We have a number of wireless inspection station throughout my plant. We have both Cisco and linksys. The Cisco is far superior to the Linksys, ...

Anna, are you aking about all Thunderbirds in general or your processor specifically? <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Aster hit the nail on the head. If you want to go with a custom peltier/watercooled system (I have one <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> ) then you can get the temp down to about 45 - 50f...

Are you maybe asking which is better, a Duron or Thunderbird? If you are familiar with the Intel architecture, then AMD work on the same premise: Duron=Celeron, Thunderbird=PIII. Depending on the...

I vote for Mandrake as well. One of the previous posters wondered why more people don't use linux - it is simple: Too much to ask of the average (l)user. Linux, without doubt, rocks windows in all...

Samr here, Gabriel. I have seen the problem a few times, but I have a universal network boot disk that I use in those instances. I can get an image of the disk if it helps, but I have never spent...

I would think that your proc is fine. It is probably coincidence that the problem manifested as the fans died. My tbird runs at 143 under load! I would look at the setup and software first.

Get a powered hub! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I would make sure that there is an intake fan in the front / bottom of the case and an equally sized exhaust fan on the rear / exit. ...

Side note: Micron owns Crucial, but I was referring to Micron brand memory when looking at the above four.

Crucial, Mushkin, Kingston, and Micron. I have had good luck with all of the above. I have had mixed luck with generic memory as well, but I would use Crucial if I had a choice (free shipping and...

Did reseating the card get it?

The company I work for used 3Com when I came here. As the 3Com cards die, I replace them with Intel. I have yet to replace an Intel card.

Intel works for me.
