One quick note - with the choices listed there, you have to go with the Ti4200 (64 or 128 will do) if you want to stretch. If you want to spend a little less, hit the 9100 Pro. But, if you would like to go hunting, or get a used card, a Radeon 8500 (buy a retail Built by ATI card - this is...

My first guess would be some kind of interference, but I would first test a different monitor with your system to see if it could possibly be something with it, first.

More than likely driver issues... Make sure your old ones are completely removed and then install the new ones.

Just one quick note - DDR400 is not useless and overhyped. The key is to match your buses - if you are running: 166FSB, use DDR333 - 133FSB, use DDR266 - 200FSB, use DDR400. The reason that it is thought of as useless is when run asynchronously with a lower speed bus (such as Athlons are...

Just my quick .002 cents... This may be a bit off, but with the symptoms you're describing I would at least try another stick of RAM. It's just doing the strange things that I've seen bad RAM do... [cannon][pc3] I LOVE troubleshooting...

Look under emoticons/smileys. It tells you a bunch of different things to play with... [cannon][pc3] I LOVE troubleshooting...

Don't feel bad - I need a new video card and it sure is hard convincing myself not to buy a GF4 Ti4600... As for that memory, supposedly that board can use it to it's potential but you will have to overclock to use it. Keep in mind that PC2100 is equal to a 133 FSB (what the XP runs at...

Just my .002 cents... I have a Dragon. If I were you, I wouldn't skimp on the memory or the power supply. You can run 1 stick of RAM, but make sure it's quality - I like Crucial for compatibility and stability. Maybe look at Corsair or Mushkin for more performance. Also, make sure you get a...

Just a quick thought... Try disabling the Plug 'n' Play OS setting in CMOS (tell the board that the OS is not Plug 'n' Play aware). That will let the board determine your IRQs instead of the OS. It works wonders sometimes... [cannon][pc3] I LOVE troubleshooting...

This may take a little time, but it might be able to figure out your problem quickly... Disconnect everything except for your video card, memory and cpu. Short your CMOS (via jumper, per motherboard manual). Boot. See if you get a screen. If not, try a PCI video card. Boot again. This...

Just my two cents... Let us know what the motherboard is... there are quite a few people here that will let you know what you can do with it right off the top of their heads. We don't know if it will support Coppermines, 133Mhz FSB or what... give us the board's name and you'll get a quick...

Just my two cents... I deal with this all the time on the OptiPlex GX1. If you are running only one drive you need to set the primary master to auto (in BIOS) and the secondary master to none. Should get rid of your problem if it's what I see all the time... [cannon][pc3] I LOVE...

Just my two cents... I was a newbie to setting up a home network until about two weeks ago. As far as I'm concerned, there are probably two ways to do this that would work best for you. 1. Two NICs in one computer, one in the other. Straight-thru cable from DSL modem to first computer, then...

Just my two cents... I've had a Soyo K7V Dragon Plus and an Asus A7V. My experience with the Soyo is that it has a lot of great features that probably save you money in the long run. But, I haven't been able to get Win98SE to run on it very well - WinXP works great, though. Also, you need at...

I need to take a PIII 800/133 Slot 1 out of its current environment and give it a better home. I used to love the Abit BE6-II rev 2, but I don't think it will support it. How about a little poll about your favorite Slot 1 Mobo that will support this processor? Let me know what you think.
