Having a problem with an asus P2B-DS and Win2k or Win98se. When a usb device is connected (powered or not by the usb) the device will show up and then disconnect a second later will reappear and then...

What operating system? Sometimes Win2k will trun off a device to save power. Maybe it thinks you don't need the device and is powering down. Don't remember where to turn this option off but if you...

Wife is downloading stuff (probably movies) and told me she was having problems playing smr avi vids. Will post if this works, Thanks

looking for a vid player that can show [smr] .avi 's... Not sure what to look for. Any help. Thanks

I have a customer bring me a computer that is having troubles with Black and White. It starts ok, goes through the Lion Head Studios Logo (white background), then to the Black and White Logo (black...

Not sure why modem will not take drivers, but you can try forcing the drivers. Tell the computer you will tell it where to find the drivers, tell it to select all hardware. Then, point to the drivers...

Wiped HDD and reinstalled all games and OS. Nothing else and it works ok now. Still not sure what the problem was.

try different:
memory
power supply
cdrom
cpu (if possible)
I don't suppose mobo is in order?
Good luck

Got a PC from a customer that has been trying to install a game (American McGee's Alice/ Electronic Arts). He was having problems so I formatted and reinstalled win95b installed directx 7.0a, and...

I would probably start out with a case that can handle two case mounted fans. One in the front bottom of the case and one on the back mid (under the power supply). Start with the cpu fan and one fan...

Definitly sounds like a heat problem. You might download a program to watch cpu temp while you are playing games. Otherwise, I would say power supply if it reboots randomly. Take the case panels off...

If the boss wants you to upgrade so bad, let him finance it. Then and only then can he have your mobo. Most bosses can usually afford it so ask if he can help you out by buying your mobo. <IMG...

I would have to say bad cache. I recently installed an os with bad cache and it always stopped at checking installed hardware and would give errors. Try another cpu... Good luck

Alright, update. I got the AMD 750 "Tbird" and slapped it in. It works fine, unless I want to use high 3d graphics. It craps out trying nfs3 and black and white. No clue. Here are the stats....

I guess I will start answering my own questions as I come across them...
It says in the online manual that it supports pc133 memory, but now my question is that does the frequency for the memory get...

I have a soyo SY-K7VIA, slot a (no chip), pc100 128MB, eVGA GeForce2 MX 32MB, generic nic sound, 300watt ps. The info on the board says I can take up to a 900MHz+ CPUs. It only shows a 100MHz FSB. I...

I never actually overclocked it. I just pulled the case off to see what speed it was really rated. I then replaced the cover and found that a few of the capacitors were "removed" by my screw driver....

If you get the A7A266 with some DDR memory, don't go cheap on the network card. Any time I've installed a Netgear card on the board and DDR memory the bugger won't reboot. I believe ASUS came out...

1)Random reboots sound like power supply under voltage.
2)Win protect errors can be caused by a failing cpu (shocked, physical damage).
3)I've seen both problems caused by malfuntioning...

I think jobbin is right on. see pcchips.com. If you want more details you have to give us more, like socket 7, Socket A, type of ram (72 pin simms, 168 pin dimms) were pretty smart but we don't do...

If above does not work, go to the MoBo manufacturer's site and download the drivers for the IDE controller and install those via floppy. Good luck!

I commonly have problems booting into windows when there is a resource conflict. Esp. with modems and video cards. With modems it is usually doubly inserted drivers, or a com/IRQ conflict, and video...

Definitely, one stick is all you need. Have fun!

yup, I found a few "loosened" capacitors... Erg. Anyone know the values of c115, c114, and c105 of PWB 1000034-009?
