Many thanks for your replies, will have a further play Cheers Steve

Hi All, I have been experiencing a stop error from time to time which always seems to be the same culprit. It up to date has not followed any rhyme or reason, just occuring spontaneously. I get the following error codes after the usual XP Blue Screen preface, "have you installed new hardware, is...

It was a P35 Chipset on a Gigabyte EP35DS3 board. This was then changed to a DS4 board and we still had the grief. The processor is an Intel Core 2 8400 with 2 Gig of Kingston 667 Value Ram, which turned out to be the main contributor to the issue. Regards Steve

This issue turned out to have an unlikely cause. Without subjecting everyone to the long and involved story, the machine had a conflict with the ram, causing all sorts of strange behaviour. I had Kingston with proprietary Kingston chips and we had all this trouble. In the end it was swapped out...

Thanks for all your valued replies. I will try these things and see what happens! Much appreciated Steve

I appreciate both of your replies and opinions. The only reason I have stuck to this line of reason is that this Coolermaster Cavalier case presents to me as the perfect aesthetic beginning to a machine dedicated to audio applications. It has front mounted VU metering and in a few small words...

I am presently planning to build a machine beginning with a Coolermaster desktop case. After some research I have realised that the PSU in this model is proprietary and a smaller size than general. I am aiming to have this machine fairly high spec and believe that an aftermarket supply will...

Hi Frank Just a short note to say you were spot on. It cured the fault and I appreciate your time. Many Thanks Steve

Thanks, will try it. The young man actually mounted a box titled "i Love You!" and in small point characters within the box was the girls name. Very funny 8 months later when it is still there........:) Appreciate your advice and will let you know Steve

I presently have a small riddle that i would deeply appreciate some advice with! For a joke, one of my daughters young friends added a file to our Win 2K machine, causing it to do the following: When the machine is started it goes through the post test, past the black loading screen, then to the...

Thanks to both of you for your advice Steve
