check your drive cables will do the same freezes a failed cable or move the boot drive to another port

dean what you want to do with MB gaming,media center, file server ?

Dean its not worth it for the bios chip is soldered to MB would need special tools to remove and place a socket on MB and seems that MB isn't a pure ASUS MB but a OEM MB like HP this why your having problems finding correct bios and support hanging up

first update bios in dos only and MB only supports AM2 socket as per asus site Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (CS),1MBx2,rev.F2,89W,SocketAM2 is round 50-75 bucks

ram good for value for proformance

yes when building a sys the RAM has to match the cpu / MB and most MB manufactures has QVL list for it products OS's max ram home 4Gb ultimate 16Gb 64bit

bestbuy plantronics logitech are good brands

Billyblade what motherboard you have ? other option is RAM, match set, MB MAX alotted size for all ram slots and get the fastest speeds to match MB spec's is the cheapest upgrade if you haven't done already

for in this section of the forum will be requested for to post in this thread your system spec's and OS 32 or 64 bit eg. requesting support router: brand name, model and revision of unit, plus what firmware using PSU: watts and gold,silver, and bronze pci-e rating CPU intel/amd socket, model MB: model and REVison if have one for MB , bios version of MB not REV RAM: model, size. dual or triple mode

oops i slipped Shamu its Blackbart talking to so your still having issues with your system ? can you borrow an UPS unit to see if brown out is the issue there

i see that only DG834Gv3 and above support adsl2+, note adsl2+ is for supporting video streaming if an ISP router best not to update firmware and have them give a new unit that supports adsl2+ netgear what version of DG834G for are 5 versons , look under unit ti find what version got. then go to link above to check firmware for your unit version .......before any updating copy all info from settings in router then disconnect all other connects and use only one port and no wifi on or connected to router

how about your ISP has thottled back your bandwidth ? can try another PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter to rule out bad NIC in laptop

shamu try rolling back a version on video drivers

see what running in background on bad computer, mite be a app sucking bandwidth up spyware , for you know girls click on anything check for malware trojans

what format using to read ? word, notepad? plain TXT

4 cyl in van/truck your not saving anyting with it, ask dealer if any power train warranty comes with the deal eco motor is running lean thats why hisataion happening to keep fuel cost down IMHO better with V6 for power is on tap where the 4 is working its ass off all the time

or temp sensor keeping it in cold mode = rich. try checking air intake front to MAS had an old air filter sticker blocking flow through induction or 0-2 senors

Shamu can you load CPU-Z this program will tell you about bios version without opening case also ram,cpu click the mainboard tab

Shamu Cavey You have nothing to loose. Very true and I do know how to save profiles and maps. In fact I always move my profile to whichever PC I will be using. Everything is updated, in fact did the video card twice just to be sure. whats the up date on motherboard bios ? mite be the issue some pci-e slots fail/die try video card in another slot

Shamu got a hosue fan to blow inside case opened side that air flows across MB and towards back of case yes let son re thermal paste CPU cooler Do Not Remove Heat sink it and run system will kill cpu chip dead DOA whats your motherboard make and model ?

PigDog forgot to ask about your memory what voltage

PigDog OK, it just did it again, so I guess I need to do the reinstall of the drivers. My BIOS is Manufacturer: American Megatrends Caption: 08/15/2011 Version: 0801 Need more info like MB Brand, Model and REVISION of MB for manufactor changed a chip supplier meaning new instructions for bios. Note will see printed on MB Ver:X.XX get this info before any updating bios also NEVER flash your bios in windows, you have to flash it in DOS by USB stick thats bootable without autoexe.bat, config.sys just your bios file and flasher from MB maker. read all notes from MB site about flashing and the fixes for bios version ok that out of the way then get all current drivers for MB and OS bit(32or64) (audio,chipset,video,data) that are WHQL certified PigDog sounds may need to use released drivers for video not the BETA drivers or roll back one driver version

first check MB bios version is up to date (cold boot first screen or inter bios to check) sounds if over heating or wall outlet is sharing power not giving pc full wattage when in 3D mode amazon 25.oo

or remove heatsink when working will kill chip

or in control panel, add/remove programs repair the software
