Heck, save the $5. Take a q-tip and some isopropyl (Rubbing) alocohol and give the lense the lightest cleaning possible. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates with no residue, and q-tip generally leave no cotton, so if it's a dirt issue that should fix it. The other possibility is an armiture issue...

I took the top off a HeatSink/Fan combo and worked the screws so that it attaches right to the heat sink on my card. It hangs up-side-down and won't come off... It blows most of the heat away, and runs right off the 3V already in your computer. At worst, you scratch up your heat sink a bit. ;-)

What he is referring to is a form of chip creep, but a little different. When electronic parts heat up, they expand slightly. If a part gets over-heated, it expands, fails, then cools and may re-gain useability. What will eventually happen is the part will expand and won't cool back into a...

If you don't mind losing the information on it, use FDisk to remove the partition and then re-make it... The only problem with this is FDisk might want to make it the last drive letter. If it's the first partition on that drive it's not an issue, but if it's the second or third FDisk MAY try to...

I have an AZ11 board and the USB on it stinks, along with the CPU temperature reporting, the FSB stability at high speeds, ETC ETC ETC... As for USB support in DOS, it doesn't exist. Nor will it exist in safe mode on that board. There's no support for it at all. Sorry. BTW I've had a...

I had an Asus board that never read properly on other software. I agree, use the motherboard software.

I would agree that the cards could cause a reboot. A certain Crystal sound card used to throw me into fits on customer's computers. Another possibility is that your PnP Bios on the board is not assigning the right IRQ's to a certain card, and when setup goes to install your changes it defaults...

I overclocked my K6-2 350 to over 500 Mhz without any real trouble. I didn't have to sandpaper anything... I just bought an oversized heat sink and fan and went to town... The k6-2's seemed to follow the Intel method of speed selection... Wait until it stops failing under load, then bump it...
