Thanks Jag, I've solved the problem, needed a BIOS update. All works great now. Cheers, Chylok

I'm building a new system: MSI P4N-SLI Pentium D 840 1G DDR2 X800GT video card 400W PSU (both power connectors are plugged in) Something weird is happening, it has me stumped. The boot up gets by POST no problem, no error beeps, I can even get into the BIOS settings. Then after 20-30...

I didn't think it was possible to chain SATA drives, I tought it was one dirve per connection. How is this done? I've got 2 x 4port sata raid cards and 7 sata HDD's. If I can chain the HDD and only use one card that would be great! Failing that is it possible to have 2 raid arrays on one...

Hi, I'm looking at building my own NAS box with some spare parts I have hanging around, I've got two PCI SATA RAID cards, which will be running on a P4 2.4Ghz, 512mb ram system. How do I set up both cards to form a single raid array? Looking implementing raid 5, but raid 0 or 1 will do also. Do...

Hi, I'm a worring problem, when word/exel files are opened on one particular computer, office automatically closes and then attempts to recover the file. I've opened the same files on a different computer, accessed via the network, and they open no problem, even outlook does it when I attach a...

It looks like VNC will do the job I require, I especially like the idea of using it to check up on the kids! Is it possible to set one terminal as a Master to give it priority over other terminals?

Hello all, I'm looking to set up 2 computers each displaying the same screen for control applications, when I am using one unit I want what I'm doing to be visable on the other display. If the units are networked, can this be setup using windows xp remote access and be "always on"? Or am I...

Hi, SATA drives are connected directly to the motherboard one per connector. Chylok

Cheers BBB, will give it a go.

Hello, I've got a NANO-7270 board which only takes Socket 479 Pentium M/Celeron M FSB 400. I'm using Celeron M processor 370+ FSB 400 but the unit is not booting, I've replaced the processor with another Celeron M socket 479.Still the same problem, the memory is ok, I've tested that. I need to...

So it looks like the cards should work on the PCI-x bus. Thanks for the advice.

I've got some old data logger PCI cards which I need to get running on a new system. Looking at a dual xeon system but it's only got a PCI-x bus. Does anyone know if the PCI standard is backward compatible? For example will a PCI card (32BIT) work on a PCI-X bus (64BIT)? Will a PCI card work...

Hi all, I'm getting a weird problem when using a null modem cable to connect two PCs together, using Hyperterminal. I'm doing this to test RS232 ports (used a loopback without any issues). Once I've made the connection (both ways) I am getting symbols for every second character. This only...

Hello all, I need to convert V11 data(rs422) to 100 BaseFX (fibre), I have found a converter which converts V11 to multimode fibre. Are these protocols the same thing? cheers, Chylok

Hyper threading is turned on. All is well. Thanks for the advice Gents/Ladies.
