    New Thunderbird CPU.. Random crashes every 10 minutes.

    I also have an AMD T-Bird that randomly crashed. I rectified my problem by fiddling around in the BIOS.. I changed a few settings according to a tweaking guide and it seemed to help. http://www.3dspotlight.com/tweaks/bios/print.shtml Also, I would check your video drivers and chipset drivers...

    DRAM Clock

    Recently I've been having a problem (as some of you know) with my system randomly freezing. I noticed in the BIOS that my DRAM Clock setting was at PC100, when I know that I've got a PC133 stick in place. Could that be a problem in terms of whether the system would freeze or not?

    Secondary HDD help..

    Ok, HDD is partitioned. Still, though, when I boot up into Windows, the Current Drive Letter Assignment option is greyed. Do I need a disk for this HDD?.. Should I load Windows onto it?

    Problems with AMD Thunderbird and WIN98 SE.

    I was thinking about getting another one.. but still, the problem shouldn't be there to begin with. Regardless of what kinda video card you've got, configuration still can be made in order to fix the problem. Just taking it from an analytical point of view.

    Secondary HDD help..

    Let me step back for a moment here and explain that my Primary is hooked up to my DVD-ROM. Is that an issue? I read somewhere that it could be. However, When running fdisk, I can see that there are no partitions on the secondary. I bought it with no OS on it, it is completely clean. I'll...

    Windows 98 SE Standby

    As we all know, Microsoft has already posted updates on what to do when your system goes into Standby and it hangs. However, does anybody have any further information? I'm wondering if your system goes into Standby, hangs, you restart.. and shut off the Standby feature in Power Management...

    Secondary HDD help..

    I already ran fdisk.. It is only a 1 GIG HDD, and whenever I try to partition it, fdisk says that the drive is too small. Should I give up? ;)
