hi guys, i have recently started having trouble with my internet connection. all of a sudden the internet has stopped working, when the modem is connected one light is green and the other is orange on the lan controller... could anybody tell me what that means?
i am using the lan controller on...
well i took everything apart, and replaced each part one by one in my working pc, to try and find the cause.
I have decided that the motherboard was shorting out somehow, so after putting everything back in place it is working fine. i dnt understand what you are talking about, needing 2 sticks...
it only does have the bare essentials plugged in, motherboard, cpu, 1 hdd, 1 cd, 1 stick of mem.
when it shuts down it makes an alarm sounding..
im totally clueless about it, should i try my other pcs mem, cpu one at a time in the new pc?
hey guys i just went out and brought a new pc 2day, the specr as as follows:
MoBo - Abit NF7-M
CPU - Athlon XP 2000+
MEM - 256mb KINGSTON DDR pc-2700
HARD DRIVE - 40gb IBM DESKSTAR 7200rpm
DVD-r - Pioneer DVD-RW
ive set it all up and everything looks fine. When i am installing windows XP home...
hey, do u guys think that this might be a better choice?
ASUS P4SP-MX SIS651 ALL IN ONE MOTHERBOARD
Intel Celeron 2.40Ghz (NORTHWOOD/128KB/400 FSB/0.13u/S478)
would i need to upgrade the memory to 512 for useing the onboard video??
hey thanks for the replies, im looking more for a mini motherboard.. she wants it to take up less space... could any of you suggest a mini motherboard around the same price(bout $100-150 should be fine) thanx for ur help.
and also cost isnt that big of an issue so ill just stick with the dvdrw.
hey guys.
ok i recently built my 1st pc, and its working like a charm (alot of thanks to everyone for their help)
so now im building another one for my sister. its mainly for word processing and internet, nothing to fancy.
here are what i am going for so far.
MoBo - Gigabyte GA-7VM400M-RZ...
I just built my new pc and i hav installed everything and it is working fine, but when i boot my pc says the memory is DDR266 when it is meant to run at 333...
my specs are -
Abit NF7
AMD Athlon XP 2200+
GE-CUBE Radeon 9200 se 128mb
Hitachi Deskstar 80gb 7200rpm
Kingston 256mb DDR pc-2700...
do you think "256mb DDR RAM PC-3200 KINGSTON 400mhz CAS-3" would work on the motherboard? because im on quite a budget the corsair pc3200 256md is quite a bit more expensive 4 the same amount of ram
i have a Speedtouch 530 dsl modem/router and when i check what my IP address is it comes up as 10.0.0.1 which sounds a little strange 2 me. i dnt hav a clue what to do 2 get it 2 come up with my real ip address.
any help will be greatly appreciated
hey i just wated to ask you guys what you think of my new pc, its mainly 4 lower level gaming like starcraft ad older games like that ad i am also on a tight budget...
MoBo - Abit NF7 - $125
CPU - AMD Athlon XP 2500+ - $135
Ram - 256mb DDR Kingmax pc3200 - $85
HD - 80gb Hitachi Deskstar...
