check the specifications for all sticks of memory it maybe you have some lets say needing 2.5v and one that needs 2.9v, and bios is set to 2.6v, which would cause a similar hang up, also as stated above, check memory settings in bios and set them to auto. just couple of things to try, ive had...

could be the vid card, have you got a spare or one you could borrow to try? could take cmos battery out to reset bios too, youd be amazed how many times that can cure a seemingly dead pc if memory was damaged youd also get a black screen, take memory out and see if cmos creates the beep code...

sounds like a motherboard v graphics card incompatibility, check bios updates for motherboard and see if there is your card mentioned in an update. If not ask motherboard manufacturer if theres any compatibility issues with that type of card.

If you check up on this motherboard youll see its very picky with memory especially DDr400 pc3200, i have had the reboot problem with this very board and also on the one i had before it (msi kg7n2-ilsr). Running memory underclocked sorted it (eg. 333ddr @ 266), until i bought decent/recomended...

not sure if it supports .mov files but theres a prog called GX Transcoder, which from what i hear is quite good.

thanks alot, i kinda knew it would be ok just had that little bit of boubt i needed reasuring on. i actually ordered a 4x version but they sent me this better and more expensive card by accident (they put wrong sticker on it) and looks as tho im only gonna pay 44 quid plus vat lol just glad i...

oh forgot to mention the motherboard in question is a gigabyte GA-7ZXE with is 4x agp 2.0

hi guys just a quickie............. bought just this card (very cheap) http://www.abit-usa.com/products/graphics/products.php?categories=2&model=48 but when i bought it, it was advertised as 4x AGP but getting it and looking at the box it say 8x/4/2/1x with fast writes and agp texturing...

what cards have you tried? maybe there new and incompatible with your board. ie 4x agp card and your trying it in a 2x board.

lol a mate of mine has a 17" AOC monitor and it is totally blurry, i thought it was just me :)

yup there are now lcd monitors with built tv cards, was offered some from a local supplier but from off top off my head they were VERY expensive. about £550 - £700 :s

i had a cd expolde in my drive before was my own fault though, soundblaster drivers disc was cracked from centre about 3cm but worked. Re-installed windows out drivers disc it and 30seconds later a quite loud BANG! and grinding noises. Opened cd drawer and lots of platic and foil, along with...

i have this cdrw in my spare machine and XP doesnt need any other driver, it always just auto installs. apex1x post is more the source of your problem or ide cables are knackered.

well i have a vocano 7 and yes it is noisy, but i turned mine down to 3000 rpm with antec silver paste and my XP1800 runs @ 32c idle so cant be that bad surely ;)

i bought this motherboard http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=398&MODEL=MS-6570 and it has a standard atx connector and a four pin 12v one aswell, so does my psu. Do i use both these connectors @ the same time? If so why and whats the benefits of...
