That was kind of a waste then....ha.
Yay! I'm glad you still put on the MX-2
The only things I suggest messing with in BIOS right now are making sure that floppy is disabled, that HDD is your primary boot, then DVD second (just speeds things up, just remember to flip them if you ever need to install from boot), and then manually set your mem. timings and speed.
ok
good thing i have my motherboard book right here
how come i cant rate my system? it says cpu and memory is 5.9 but my over all score is 1.0 i clicked refresh score but it wont do it primary hard disk s 5.7 and graphics and gaming graphics is 1.0 even though i have a 9800Gt 512mb installed with the latest drivers
Have you got Sp1 and all the updates for Vista?
not yet but im working on it
sorry for all the questions
Yeah as soon as you update vista it will allow you to refresh the score and it should be changed...
i got the thing to score my computers its a 5.7 everything else is a 5.9 my hard drives are what the lowest score is.....a 5.7
this computer is kinda making me mad but maybe is set something up wrong
im sorry im so dumb but idk what to set in my bios and idk what to set it as
my internet likes to disconnect a lot while on this pc im using a netgear pci card to connect to the internet ive never had any problems with it, the icon in the tray will show im connected to my wireless but if i go in firefox it wont connect and i cant load pages....
i know its not the router or modem because if I go on a pc downstairs the internet works fine and the pci card is properly inserted into the slot
also in my motherboard book it says connect a northbridge fan header whats that? i think i plugged my 120mm fan into that
how come every time i open my case the pc restarts?
i'm sorry for all the questions and i'm sorry for my dumbness i'm downloading and installing all the windows updates, i don't have viruses,
my device manager doesnt show any problems
idk what im doing wrong
sorry and thanks
Um nate the internet issue still sounds like a card issue. Have you reseated it in the PCI slot?
And the restart thing may be cause by having chassis intrusion on in the BIOS...check that out...probably under "security" or something in the bios.
ok thanks
yes ive reseated it i just removed everything inside the case including the cu n recleaned it as well as the heatsink
uyeah posting from new setup!!!!!!!
i got home n immediately toor open the processor box n slapped it in the mobo then took some rubbing alcohol n cleaned off the bottom of the heatsink n then put some mx-2 on the processor then put the heatsink on,Took a few minutes but i got it on i slapped in the new 120MM fan which glows red it looks sweet in my case then i plugged everything in!!!! and it started up fine teh first time i formatted my hard drive and installed vista and everything seems to be fine, I didnt really mess with the bios settings idk if i should or not probably not! lol I finally got windows activated i installed my video card drivers and netgear pci wirelss card drivers and btw device manager shows all green like nothing wrong with any hardware no yellow exclamation points everything seems fine to me thanks!!!
will post more later i guess
