Nobody admits cheating the exams neither.

I never sleep. I just faint from time to time. 6 - 7 times a week.

Anti-spyware software usually conceder cookies to be means of spying. Could it be that your cookies get deleted by some over-protective program?

If the monitor driver is the cause (I seriously doubt that) try NOT installing the monitor diver. The system works just fine without specific monitor driver. You can install the driver AFTER you installed the windows 98 SE. Here's the link for the driver package you need in case you …

Is this still on? I'm sure you meant "%SystemRoot%\fonts" where the %SystemRoot% variable stands for path to Windows installation directory. There is a way to bypass some of the setup checks that windows setup does and sometimes fails to resume with repair or fresh install. Setup program tends to check …

I believe that "865 GBF" is a chipset (Intel), and not a motherboard brand/model. Without knowing what motherboard you are referring to, it is not possible to know what VGA slot you have. Anyway there are 3 possibilities: AGP (x4 or x8), PCI-E (x8 or x16) and Crossfire (for ATI) …

You will need to post exact model you have and exact number of beeps. For example: 1-2-2-1 beep is code for keyboard controller. or 11 beeps means that cache error [URL="http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&y=12&rule=17018&x=6&product=62740&dlc=en&docname=bph07107"]There[/URL] is a detailed description on HP's support explaining what to do and what the beep codes represent.

There is 50-50 chance to be either CPU or motherboard. Only way to make sure which one is faulty, is to change the CPU and see what happens. Not advisable. Best thing would be for you to take the laptop to service shop. Or, you can take a chance, and …

I'll tell you what I did. I bought AMD Athlon processor and tossed away (not really, I still have it here) the heatsink and fan, and got myself a brand new Thermaltake Golden orb II (fancy name). It is a cheap (~$30) replica of Zalman (Zalman is like Ferrari with …

What you suffered from is called "identity theft". That is police matter. Only "evidence" you have is on your PC. Identity thieves usually use spyware that monitors your keyboard. That spyware usually keep records in your Windows\System32 folder. If you use anti-spyware software to clear your system, it will delete …

Asus K7MH7 is a cooling kit, not a motherboard model (on the pic).

I don't know if there is i815 HD size limit, but I've heard that there is a debilitating RAM limitation (512 MB). Anyway, any hardware HD size limit is only present while formatting the drive, and it can be overriden softwarewise. Othrerwise, you can format bigger-than-supported drive somewhere else and …

Did you try other DVI jack? From the looks of it, your VGA is dying (or almost dead). You should try your PC with known good VGA to make sure.

First, use protection (firewall and anti-virus). You have 2 suspects there: "O8 - Extra context menu item: Ebates - file://C:\Program Files\Ebates__MoeMoney__Maker\ebmmt\ebmmC5.htm" and "O9 - Extra button: Ebates - {F2B441CC-E026-47fb-BDC3-A07750FA3D2C} - file://C:\Program Files\Ebates__MoeMoney__Maker\ebmmt\ebmmC5.htm (HKCU)" You can check them in your hijackthis and click on "fix checked", or you can try to …

Did you try entering safe mode when you manage to power it up? (press f8 when booting)

Are you either quite attached to anyone or anything, or do you regularly avoid particular situations? How do you answer this with yes or no? Root: under-active(-6%) Sacral: open(31%) Navel: under-active(6%) Heart: under-active(0%) Throat: open(19%) Third Eye: open(31%) Crown: open(31%)

I will advice you this: Reboot into a safe mode (press F8 while booting and select safe mode with or without network support) Move thiese files (just in case you need to restore them) C:\WINDOWS\System32\msnprcss.exe (if you're not using some 3rd party system process monitor) C:\WINDOWS\System32\srvnst.exe (if you're not using …

You should check out Venice, that is, if you enjoy a causal game of water-polo on the public property. (St Mark square in the morning hours) Been there. All of the prices are jacked up and it smells like sewage.

That is one of the security features of many anti-virus programs - preventing programs to access and/or change the registry. I suggest that you allow windows help program the access to the registry, so it can function properly. I'm not familiar with McAfee in particular, but the general procedure is …

Remove the battery and put it back again.

Forced flash, if gone bad, can be fixed if you have Floppy drive and boot floppy disk with BIOS file and flash program on it with command-line in the Autoexec.bat. The idea is that floppy drive controller is standard with most motherboards, so flashing the wrong BIOS would leave you …

There is program called "Asus update". That will update your bios. It is on your mobo CD. You can, also, take a look [URL="ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socka/nforce2/"]here[/URL]. It's their ftp server (somewhat secret). You can always contact Asus for the correct BIOS update. I did, and I've got BIOS that is not available …

I was inspired to write this thread by a "[URL="http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry1065.html"]The end of all life[/URL]" blog and it is somewhat complemented by it. Couple of years back I watched some documentary on TV about prolonging the human lifespan (in the medical way). There was a brief comment, a theory if you …

That is beep code for faulty memory module. You'll need to replace it.

That can be related to the EMM386.EXE /highscan (in the config.sys). By default, windows setup removes /highscan switch. Check if the /highscan switch reappeared in your config.sys. Apparently windows don't like DOS memory controllers. On my machine with Windows 98, I have removed autoexec.bat and config.sys. They are not needed …

That can be caused by faulty HD. Or bad contacts on the HD cables. Try disconnecting your HD to see how it behaves (ex. if it crashes upon entering BIOS with no HD attached).

I had same issue. All looks fine until you get "Memory access error". It's all [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread59131.html"]here[/URL].

I dont know about "Battle For Middle Earth", but I know Farcry. I have A8N Sli/Athlon64 3700+/Gainward GeForce 7800 GT 512 MB/ 1 G DDR400 and I have (sometimes) poor performance with Farcry. Wooded areas and max. details are too demanding. If it is not overheating issue, then I think …

Check the USB jack to see if there is anything stuck inside. Sounds like it shorted.

I just wrote [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/post278105.html#post278105"]this[/URL] post and I received notification in my control panel for that same post. That is my first post in that thread. Nothing yet in my mailbox, but sometimes e-mail notifications are sometime late. Wired.

My IE has …

There is a quick way out. All you need is to boot your laptop with Windows setup CD and choose recovery console. You will be prompted 2 things: - Windows installation to log on to - Administrator password After you log on, type "FIXBOOT C:" command. That is if your …

There are passive (read: no fan) CPU cooling, but looks to me that your fan turned into a chopper. Some BIOSes wouldn't let you turn on the PC if they sense that the fan is not working (rpms). Some newer boards even measure the fan's voltage. I hope that simply …

First, you need to know what actions would void your warranty. Actions like opening up a casing. Look around it and make sure there are no stickers on the casing side corners saying something like "if this label is damaged or removed the warranty will become void". If you see …

[quote=Sulley's Boo;280196]I dislike them both .. :x[/quote] ditto

Few details are missing here: - brand/model of new RAM (and old) - is it combination of old and new that isn't working, or new only?

Judging form the symptoms, I would suspect the PSU to be the problem. Every PSU has a fuse and, if shorted, fuse can "pop". You can usually burn-marks inside PSU if you open it up. It is arguably the cheapest part of PC.

Yes, but with mini and midi towers it is practically impossible because of the lack of space. If you are talking about IDE drives, almost every PC has 2 IDE channels, and each channel hosts 2 drives. With SATA, you'll need at least 3 SATA channels to have 3 drivers. …

If your HD is formated to NTFS, you can: - rightclick your drive in windows explorer and select "proprieties" - check "compress drive to save disk space" checkbox and click "OK" button - confirm that you want to compress subfolders too - when prompted to skip files that are currently …

When you say "misreads the CPU" do you mean BIOS or windows? I'm not sure, but running 3200+ at 2200 looks like OCing (my case 3700+ @ 2200). Running 3200+ at 2200 with restarts looks like OCing with core voltage too low.

If you have nForce4 chipset and SATA II drive, that is normal. You'll need to switch the jumper on you HD to SATA I. (NVIDIA's fault)
