well i wanna know what is the latency rate in my bios? i can see it is set to 64 but wat does it mean?

hi ,,

if you are talking about pci latency then its value can be set upto 248 depending on your bios,,

Latency is a value assigned to each device on the PCI bus which determines how long that device may "hold on" to the bus before it must relenquish it to another device which wishes to use it. The value is an integer between 0 and 248. A value of zero means the device will immediately give up the bus if another device wishes to transmit, while a value of 248 means the device will hold on to the bus for the maximum amount of time possible.

Higher values mean that other devices will have to wait longer to be able to use the bus (latency), but will increase the effective bandwidth of the bus due to a reduction in the overhead required to transfer between devices.

Me and my friend want to connect our pc n laptops by means of Wi Fi......
He lives about 300m from my house(not crow's flight distance but on road)...
Please can anyone help us how to setup this wifi thing
2.wat all we need ?
3.how much would it cost ?

you can connect your pcs by wifi and also share internet usage...

view this link...

*www.lifehacker.com/software/top/geek-to-live--set-up-a-home-wireless-network-162754.php

for connecting via wifi do we need net connection?

look if you want to share files and folders and play games then forget wifi local connection .. is wont work due to pre charge delays with connection as router cannot habdle this nuch but yeas for a successfull connection you need a internet connection....

okay we basically wantu play multiplayer games n share files n folders. now tell me what solution do we have(w/o using our net connection).
Distance between 2 homes is 300 mts.

go for LAN PLAY WIRELESS ADAPTERS they work in 300mtrs and do not use net connection.. available from local computer retailers
__________
OK!!! LOOK you want to play games on lan 300 mtrs. away from each other...

you have a choice..
GO for the two wireless adapters which are called LAN PLAY WIRELESS (LOGITECH AND OTHER KNOWN MAKERS GIVE GOOD BANDWIDTH OPTIONS SO THAT YOU CAN PLAY WITHOUT BREAKS)

NOw these adapters will be connnected to USB ports and to power supplies they both will have one Connection and PHYSICAL PING BUTTONS you have to just install these and install their drivers and software and then you will have to connect both by pressing the first (servers) connect button and physical ping andthen the nodes connect and physical ping.. both will show a log and .exe file created in mydocs you just have to copy these files to a cd or usb flash drive and exchange these files from server to node and node to server and run the exes..

this solution has worked for 500 mtrs. also is is really cost effective.. try in and linksys and dlink also are good makers of these adapters try your local vendors...

how much do they cost friend?

they both will cost you around 3500/- to 5500/- company wise . amd are coming with 2 yrs, warranty

3500 a piece?

yeah surely you must be having Ati radeon express 200 x200 chipset with x200 onboard 256 mb ... so yeah you can overclock it..
__________
3500 a pair of two!!!

man give me the process of o/c. and the software used. please tell whether it is safe or not. and what benefits i will get from o/cing it
__________
Please give me a detailed procedure n it is an onboard graphics cards. it shares 64 mb of ram..........& shows 256 mb of graphics memory. You can read it in my signature. Now please write a detailed procedure as i dont have any GYAAN of o/c.

why are u banned for a week?

Blue screen error Physical Memory Dumping

Hi All,

When I am working on my PC, suddenly a blue screen appeared and it displayed a message Physical Memory Dumping, after that the system automatically shut down.

When I restarted the system, I see the montitor power blinking and no display at all. I see the CPU working in the background.

Any solution for this

thanks

vinoo

afaik physical memory dumping occurs when virtual memory happens to fall short.

this is the reason why so for sorting out it :

right click on your my computer icon on desktop and go in properties. click advanced tab ,under performance click settings and then advanced and click change in virtual memory tab... if you have 256 mb ram then set the size to 512-512 if 512 mb then set it to 1000-2000 and if one gb then you should not be facing this problem...
__________

but he is unable to start his pc. Even i know how to increase the paging file. Help him start his pc.............

G

remove all your recently installed hardware and if you have two memory sticks installed remove one.... and try booting...
__________
one more thing just restore defaults in your mobo bios and try this key function at power up
crlt+tab+numlock (for enabling video shadow mode) as you said that you cannot see the display....

genius_mod give me your yahoo id

Hi

thanks for your superfast response.

i have one 512 mb ddr ram.

i have never installed any new software or hardware in the last 1 month.

suddenly the problem came out. I even checked the video cable, b'coz the monitor is blinking no response from it.

I see the cpu working fine (best of my knowledge)

i removed the RAM and again placed.

Do i need to check anything on videocard ( mother board is intel 915 chipset)

thanks

vinoo

i know shantanu !!!!!

I have added u in the yahoo messenger.

if u have a friend near by, get yourself a monitor from his place or take your cpu to his place. First of all test whether your cpu is functioning properly on not.
i know this method is primitive but i believe this can really help you.

G

do one thing right now just clear your cmos means take the battery of your mobo out and plzce it back after 20 seconds.... and then try and one more thing do you have onvoard graphics or a card...

i will remove the battery and place after 20 sec, the graphics card in on the mother board ( no seperate one)

i am not near my system, i need to check it once i go back home.

will follow your instructions and if i get problem will let u know

if it works will inform u

hi i have some problem with my tv tuner card the problem is sometimes when i play WMP11 and tv tuner card it crashes and show blue screen and it says system has been restarted and when i restart my computer it says the system has recovered from serious error pls solve this

G

o you have a tv tuner you didnt gave the company name or model ...
But your system crashes when running tv tuner card and wmp 11 it crashes.

give details about your system config and ram .... basically a poor SMPS AND LOW RAM CAUSES THE PROBLEM...
TELL YOUR OS ALSO AS SOME OS PROBLEM CAN ALSO BE THERE...
so just clear these points ...

Maths over..........5 more to go.

my system is Intel Pentium 4 2.8 HT 800 , 865 motherboard 1GB DDR 400 , windows XP SP2 400watt SMPS , creative 5.1 sound blaster and Pinnacle PCTV tuner card and there is one more problem with this when i open tv tuner and when i unmute it the main volume of MP3 and Line in gets low

Hi, Shantanu

I have a Desk top P4 2.4 GHz system that runs on MSW 2000 Pro. Since one month now I find the pointer of my roller mouse vanishing off from the screen. It returns again after lifting the mouse and placing it back on the pad. Again at time the pointer moves to and fro horizontally, sometimes even sliding up and down without even touching the mouse. Initially I thought my old faithfull mouse had developed problems and retiring it I started taking the services of a brand new Microsoft Optical Mouse. Unfortunately the problem still exists. I've tried ousing other mice but without results. The track ball/ lenses are clean... Can anyone please enlighten me about what may have gone wrong.
Thanx,
Sunaabh

G

@ sunaabh ,,, Your mice seems to be ok, are you using a ps2 or usb mouse.. make it clear and there can be two reasons..
1> problem with the ps2 port
solution >try using a USB optical mouse...

2> a virus in the system
solution> using a good quality antivirus and clean your system up..
maybe a corrupted file within the shell system drivers.. try reloading windows if problem persists...

GETTING A LOW OUTPUT ON LINE AND MP3 MEANS THAT EITHER YOUR OUTPUT DEVICE IS CONSUMING MORE POWER OR YOUR SYSTEM DRIVERS ARE MALFUNCTIONING...

try reinstalling drivers for both TV TUNER AND AUDIO DEVICE..
TRY USING A HIGHER POWER SUPPLY. 450-500 watts. a good one... AS LOCAL SMPS ARE NOT USRE OF GIVING A PERFECT 400 watt.(MANY SMPS ARE REBUNDLED WITH A 400 WATT LABEL :they can be 250,300,350 any)

so go for a nice brand like cooling master or antec or bestec

Hi,

The older mouse is a ps2 mouse, the microsoft mouse is ps2 + usb compliant all others used were ps2.... I've tried using in usb mode with same results.. I'm using BitDefender8 free edition as antivirus gets updated for new signatures every day , on scan shows no virus and... got lots of work load... reinstalling win is the last thing I can think of doing at this moment....

thanx for responding....

G

ok so DUDE i prefer to Go for A PSU CHANGE As you can try your friends or any other system you have minimum of 450 or 500 watt.. one more thing you can try to do is try detachhing some devices of your system temporarily as it may help you find out if your PSU is lacking.... then let us know
....
have you installed WIN2000 Sp3express = sp4 not the sp3 local

S

Ohh Shantanu got u here... solve my problem

Sorry !! for posting personal info...

HI,

LISTEN UP UP DUDE @ASHU DO NOT POST PERSONAL COMMENTS OR NAMES HERE OK..
AND TRY THIS "MAKE AdMIN=0;
and clear the BSDN DATA and then RESTORE THE BACKUp..

I installed Everest Home edition on my system. It shows Motherboard "Unknown". What's wrong with my system? Pentium D 2.8 GHz 2x1 MB, D102GGC2, 512 DDR2 @533.

I used Everest Ultimate Edition n Corporate edition..... both of them recognize my motherboard as INTEL D102GGC2......

IF you both guys have a same mobo then try something different.

sissoftware sandra
*www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/SiSoftware-Sandra.shtml

S

OK I am trying to get the link. But can u plz tell me why the Everest does not recognize my mobo? Is there any prob in my mobo?

look its some comtatibility issues its very much possible that you need some drivers update or bios update but for a software not working correctly lets not take any chances... Ya but the reason i suppose is that it cannot get a driver .sys file in your system from which i detects MOBOS AS it only shows info of hardware whose softwares are correctly installed .. Direct connection to hardware NOpe .. so everest lacks here but i also use everest for benchmarking so cant say its bad but sisoftware sandra is better

the driver you are trying to install cannot find a compatible hardware on your system :
means 1> OS not supported
2>problem with onboard AUDIO

tell that which os u r using
2> installed the driver before

or go to: www.intel.com for drivers update

T

yes i hv installed the driver before
earlier it worked fine

i m using win XP

ok so it means that i could be a problem with your sound device...
try restoring defaults on your bios and check if your device manager shows unknows device ...

@niku1_19jan do you use a printer or scanner

let me know soon

@niku1_19jan do you use a printer or scanner

let me know soon

i use dot matrix printer
epson lx-300
it is also giving some error, i.e printing frm extreme left .......

Solution:
Assuming that u use an up-to-date antivirus utility, this error most likely indicates a problem with a printer or scanner. The fastest solution is to turn off the computer, disconnect your printer or scanner, reboot the PC, and reinstall the drivers.

if this doesnt work then simply remove all the drivers of your printer and scanner and disconnect the printer or scanner totally. use a registry cleaner tool regclean or so to clean up your registry fully.

after this also if your problem is unsolved then try this:
YOU attempt one more corrective maneuver. open the Control Panel, select the Performance And Maintenance category, click Administrative Tools, and double-click Component Services. In the dialog box, click Services (Local) and locate the WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) entry in the resulting list. then right-click the WIA entry and select Stop. restart your pc and i think it should be solved..

REASON: the drivers and software try automatic update and hence gives an illegal entry in the registry services and DAMNNN..

thnks shantanu_webmaster wil try n report u the results soon.

try this for generic error

Which is better pd 3.0 Ghz or C2D 1.83Ghz

see both of them are built on different architecture.......so no direct comparisions

But the C2D is always better than any PD

I've some strange problem with BIOS settings. I've ASUS A8N-E mobo. If I schedule to turn-on in the next 10 minutes, it boots without any probs. But If I schedule to boot after an hour or so, it just doesn't start up. I tested this twice. What all settings do I have to change? I changed the alarm time and then put value 0 to schedule daily. But still no success.

What can be the problem?

well shantanu_webmaster is not available for the next 1 or 2 days.......but i assure he will reply u soon.

Guys how can we keep our systems cool if we hav only two fans
1. SMPS
2. CPU

Can we place more fans in the cabinet for keeping the system cool??
Where can we place these fans if we a closed cabinet and no hole for the fans to take air frm outside OR Blow the air Outside?

well u have two fans :
smps
cpu......

well u can add more fans to ur cabinet generally there are holes at the back of the cabinet where we can attach fans

I figured out something strange about scheduling PC start from BIOS today.

I have a Dataone Home500 plan and had scheduled START FROM ALARM in BIOS to 02:00. But the boot failed and I noted that the modem's only one red LED was ON. But it does boot when both red LED are on.

Why is it that the system boots only when both red LED of modem are on? How can I ensure fail-free schedule in the future?

@webgenius .. This can be a BIOS MEMORY read/write failure,

well you can try changing your BIOS mobo BATTERY .. and try updating your BIOS first.. visit
*in.asus.com

and then click on downloads and select your motherboard etc.
after that download your updated bios and insert your asus cd which came with your MOBO, install the ASUS update software and then click on bios update with file browsing option.. then browse the file which you downloaded (its a .ROM file mostly in ASUS) flash it and then see..

IMP: ASSURE THAT YOUR POWER SUPPLY WONT GO OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM COZ YOUR MOBO SUPPORTS CRASHFREE BIOS 2

TRY THIS AND I THINK IT WILL BE SOLVED

This is what the ASUS site said regarding the new BIOS download:

"To avoid crashing file system, please do update the chipset driver to below version prior to this Bios.
For WinXP 32bit system, please download and update chipset drivers V6.65 or later"

Can you please guide me how to update the chipset driver? I'm using an AMD 3500+. Does I need to update its driver? :?:

This message does not say this, but yeah you can update the drivers for amd proccy to have it working best..

AMD Athlon 64 drivers here

*www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/amdcpusetup.exe

for ASUS CHIPSET DRIVERS download them here:

*download.nvidia.com/Windows/nForce/standalone/6.86/6.86_nforce_win2kxp_international_whql.exe

Download your Bios here :

BIOS UPDATER here:

*dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/flash/AWDFLASH108.zip

DOWNLOAD ALL THESE AND THEN I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO UPDATE THEE BIOS FROM DOS " BECAUSE THE COMPANY IS NOT OFFERING THE BIOS WHICH CAN BE UPDATED FROM WINDOWS ITSELF..

shantanu_webmaster said:

I finished downloading all those files. Now how can I proceed with the BIOS upgrade?

install all these and then extract the WDflash.zip to a floppy and then boot from a bootable floppy and then run .exe file present in the package , it will ask you for the destination give as a:\example.Rom means what ever the extension is.. then save your urrent bios file and give the name ori to it . it will ask you to press a key to continue. so ensure that your power is ok and no flucation is there and then do it.. just this and you are done..

BUT BEFORE THAT INSTALL ALL THE DRIVERS and see that no password is installed in your bios

@Shantanu, I successfully updated my BIOS.*www.forumeye.it/invision/html//emoticons/woohoo.gifThanks to you*www.iheartpaws.com/forums/images/smilies/woohoonaner2gy.gif
I'll try out the scheduling part today and let you know.

my monitor/pc is giving me a wierd problem:

i am doing something the pc hangs, monitor goes off, comes back on within 2secs .... happens quite frequently ... updated the drivers for the monitor (samsung synmaster 740N - lcd) and grafix card (nvidia fx 5200)

today my one chip of my motherboad has been blast but my motherboad is under warranty (P5W DH DELUXE WI-FI) any one knows the ASUS gives warranty when the chip burn or blast

Electronics item do not come with warranty on being burnt or damaged due to shock .... Generally

I dont't think Asus will provide warranty on this..

@Nightmare !!! you can contact the hardware vendor from whom you purchased the system or mobo. its very difficult to get warranty but you can get it if your vendor helps you out!!! and even if you dont get the warranty you can get the chip changed in market.
BUT HOPING THE BEST YOU CAN GET THE MOST WhEN YOUR VENDOR HELPS YOU!!!

_________________________________________________________________

@mav3 !! IF you have a onboard graphic card then remove your GFX and try running your system on that!!! if the problem persists then try lowering the refresh rate and resolutions. !!! mainly the problem comes when RAM is faulty and is generating ERRORS. so get your RAM checked too or if you have multiple chips then try uninstalling one and running on other and repeat the process on all chips.

One more reason can be there which is a faulty power source or monitor power problem..

TRY THESE ALL AND THEN POST HERE WHAT HAPPENED

_____________________________________________________________

@ raghunath77 i didnt tell you to use a multimeter but its ok if you know the method.. DID you tried shorting the SMPS AND SEEING IF IT RUNS..

YOU SAID THAT YOUR SYSTEM IS NOT POWERING ON!!! SO CHECK your power supply PROPERLY OR GET YOUR FRIENDS FOR SOME TIME OR GET A NEW ONE!!! BUT FIRST CHECK YOUR SMPS BY REMOVIONG IT FROM THE SYSTEM AND THEN SHORTING IT BY TAKING A SMALL WiRE ( MOSTLY WHICH COMES WITH PAcKAGE MATERIAL IN COMPUTERS THE BALCK OR WHITE ROLLED ONE) strip it from both sides and then see your SMPS connector (the main 20 pin connector) look for a grey and green wire and insert one end or wire in green and the other in grey. and connect a power cord to SMPS and other to power supply. turn the switch on and see if the SMPS POWERS ON AND THE FAN IS ROTATING..

Now talkign about your MOBO !!! its a quite old mobo and we cannot even say what is its conditions.. YOU HAVE TO THOUROUGLY CHECK THE POWER AND tell that is your system powering on

POWERING ON MEANS THAT EVEN THE FANS ARE ROTATING OR NOT

TELL THIS CLEARLY ok...
and Dont worry

What happened No repllies ...

ok if fans are running then everything in your power is ok
now take out everything from your comp. and just let power supply and processor attached . then turn on the system and wait for 3 mins. now turn off the system and take out bios battery and THE CPU and leave your system for 10 mins. put everything back and see what happens..

IF NOW ALSO YOUR PROBLEM DOES NOT SOLVE TAKE IT TO A HARDWARE SHOP and give it for testing I THINK YOUR MOBO IS HAVING A SERIOUS PROBLEM

... possibly there is a ram problem ... is it possible tht because i hav a heavily loaded system ... too many apps running at the same time ... windows blinds,fx,crystal xp, vista theme a lot of other appz running is causing the problem???

yeah it can be possible if a application is interfering in your Hardware bus frequencies, so it can be possible, so try uninstalling the things you dont need. as many times software is the culprit and we are cursing hardware for it

Re: Blue screen error Physical Memory Dumping

vinookanth said:
Hi All,

When I am working on my PC, suddenly a blue screen appeared and it displayed a message Physical Memory Dumping, after that the system automatically shut down.

When I restarted the system, I see the montitor power blinking and no display at all. I see the CPU working in the background.

Any solution for this

thanks

vinoo

Note down the error code that appears.
0x0000..something
Google the error code for the solution
that happens if there is a problem with memory allocation i.e. with caching to hard disk (insufficient page file size), ram problems (loose/corrupt etc.)
The error code is there to help you track down the cause.
If all else fails, try a clean install of the os. usually solves the problem.
Some kernel drivers can cause errors when they block caching eg. firewalls, antivirii

yeah raghunath77 !!

This is the best solution to take it to a service guy!!

My pleasure !!! and i am waiting for your reply!

and tell what did he says the problem is

Hello Friends,

I have Seprate Electic Board for My Office PC, all Switches Makes Sparking Sound with Spark - Just seen spark with sound while Switching Celing FAN ON.

I was out for 3 hrs so meanwhile PC is shutdown, return to home and as soon as start it and just after 30 seconds Turn Celing FAN On, hear and see sparkle with sound in FAN Switch and PC get Restarted Automatically Flashing following Message/Warning.

"The CPU was previously shutdown due to thermal event (overheating). Service the unit right now to resolve this"

But as said earlier PC was OFF for 3 hours than how as soon as I start it and CPU get so much heat that it restart the PC?

I have same issue with OLD PC with same configuration (just mother board was changed- previously I had D845GBVSR - it's capacitors get Leaked)

Do the Problem Really with PSU or anything Else.

Please help me.

i think that your heat sink is loose ,, open your cabinet and try tightening it ... and clean your cab. up. This is CPU overheating ... check your fans also
__________
@raghunath77 its really ok. you want a second hand 1700+ is it ... look its very much Difficult to get that now-adays until you can have a offer from a processor seller.. try searching your local hardware market.. and i will too search if i get one..

shantanu_webmaster said:

Yes, I did it and no problem after that

But what about Sparks in Switches? I used to have Certified electritian who done this but still sparking is there?

What to do now?

Sparking can be caused by many things, and its also possible that your wires might be getting loose. so call up someone who could check your Power...

@raghunath77 its really ok. Its my pleasure .. anytime

3 top electritian in my city vist my Residence and give all clear Signal.

Once I paid bribe and call Wiremand from Relaince Energy, he too said all OK.

Any other suggestions

other can be that a plugged socket of fridge or fan or EVEN your COMP. or inverter can be shorting....

BUT YOUR COMP. is not the CULPRIT OTHER THEN PLUG problem

All Swithces and wires in my Residence is from Anchor Fire Proof

wopes !!! what kind of sparks are you getting are they from comp..

shantanu_webmaster said:

No Sparks from Computer or any of computer Parts, but from Switches which I have there for my PC connection from Main Board?

Just HDD light on CPU front panel takes 4-5 seconds delay after pushing power button ON.

That is Fan, Monitor and CPU Switches, all makes little spark with sound, if didn't make when I switch ON than it 100% make when I switch off. FAN switch make more sparking sound with spark when switch off.

I think we can solve PC hardware Problems ,, related to it but ELECTRICITY of house holds cannot be said without being seen

Hi

I have problem in PC that when cd is ejected the PC shutdown and restart.
can any one help pls?

sugu

@PSUGADEVAN your SMPS is faulty change it or get it repaired
THIS IS SURE

P

Hi Shantanu

Thanks for ur reply , I m work n saudi and not much about tech term of hardware .. smps ..? should i have tell the pc repair guy to change the smps..

sugu

yeah say him to change the SMPS or PSU (power suplly unit) SMPS WILL BE MORE UNDERSTANDABLE... SMPS... >>> switched mode power supply or Switching mode Power supply

its the small part where you plug your power supply in the back of the cabinet.. in RS. it costs around 400/- for a regualr power supply .. so rememeber not to GIVE EXTRA... this is only SMPS problem ..

You can get it repaired also..

When all fails, I think PC doctor can help me. Any way thanks for help. IT's free.

i think your problem is not related to PC anymore ... its ELECTRICITY PROBLEM

@Stick !!! i revealed a fact today !!! The pulgged Sparking can be caused by a UPS or even a SMPS with returning voltage ..

To check it just test your UPS plug that you connect to power board that whether a charge is coming or not ... BACK and for SMPS .. get it checked somewhere

May I request your expertise in this post

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=398499&postcount=22

SUre dude.. EXPERTISE

.. just trying...

so you wanted to know which is the best...

The 40 GB to 160 GB drives
ST3xxxx15A series claim to offer
7200.10 PATA 3.0Gb/s with perpendicular recording

The drive series is designed to give 3.0 GBPS but well the motherboards cannot accellerate that speed... IF PATA could have given such vasts results then WHY whould SATA be bought in the market...

These 10 generation drives from Seagate Performs very well ...

Something is really fishy here..
Just check out the ST380215A, ST380815A..both 80 GB drives. here the 215A claims to have 8mb buffer, no statement about ST380815A

the drives with 8 mb buffer is very good.. indeed but the ST380815A has only 2 mb buffer..

so definately not a good choice...

SO IN 80 GB ST380215A is ok

*www.imagehosting123.com/user_images/shan2129/bara.jpg

On first look it appears that the ST3160815A will be a good performer (though it has 8mb buffer) - i feel because of single platter perpendicular recording. For the record the max data transfer speeds for all the above drives is quoted as 78 Mbps.
However the ST3xxx620A series offer 16 mb buffer.

now in 160 GB

DONT GO FOR 620 SERIES.. its hell lot a slow in performance coz of 16 mb buffer...

so definately ST3160815A it will be good...

.

*img339.imageshack.us/img339/7848/3gbpsdy6.png

They are kidding right?
Then why not write this for their other PATA hard disks (>160GB).
Moreso they themselves state that max sustained data transfer is 78mbps (for all their PATAs and SATAs)

Buddy This is he difference between whats said and whats real....

you yourself think and then ask someone having that drive .. no MOBO with PATA interface supports UDMA 6 for PATA.. they all run on UDMA5 MAX.. o the modern MOBOS give better support to SATA then PATA..

where the helll this technology be used...
look .. WHy you are buying a PATA .. coz you dont have SATA support.. and your MOBO is not capable of GIVING UDMA 6 .. i dont know which comp. you have but ... Atmost not UDMA 5 also... then how come you can run 3.0 supported... so its useles... and even if you upgrade your comp.. you willbuy a SATA ... why PATA then ... so Think yourself...

.

Yeah I am hoping against hope

i dont know which comp. you have ...

Intel Original 845 WN mobo
Northbridge Intel i845 rev. A3
Southbridge Intel 82801BA (ICH2) rev. 12

Well i don't really know what UDMA it supports, (surely don't expect it to support UDMA6, its 6 years old !!!!)

However, will this work as a normal IDE if it doesn't?

I ask because whenever I upgrade (atleast an year), I want a mobo with support for UDMA6, and SATA 3.0gbps (err...does such a mobo exist). I don't mind if the HDD doesn't work to its full potential in the meantime (as long as it works with my current mobo without problems) i.e. future proofing

. even if I get a PATA, I get a PATA which can run fast in my future config.
Plz. correct me if I am wrong. I don't have a benchmarking tool currently to know what exactly I am up against.

i had a ASUS 845 board a long time back i think 6 years with p4 1.5 HCL ...

it was even not UDMA it just GAVE DMA

and counted as UDMA2.. so ANY hDD you buy doesnot make a difference.. to speed...

.

ty for the quick reply.
can't rep you ...

check your pm

EDIT:
here's an eye opener (for me :))

)
*forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/UDMA-UDMA-amp-SATA-150-ftopict175158.html

Guess I've had enough of this $hit

.
Moral of the story:
Its better to buy a drive with larger storage and general performance than worry about interface speed. As it is clearly said on Seagate's website, all of their desktop class Hard Disks (PATA/SATA) can sustain a max. data transfer rate of 78mbps.
So, unless I plan on getting RAID, it doesn't really matter if its PATA/SATA in real world.
peace.

thats fine buddy !!! The newer mobos Support BOTH

slow download speed as compare to others over network.

pls help me, there is about 8 pc`s in our network and all getting about 40kb/s downloading speed but only one pc is getting about 6-7kb/s. but while copying files from other pc over on network its gives proper speed than why only on internet its slow on specific one pc? what should i do? where may be problem?

Check your LAN card... actually tell the topology on which the comp. are connected.. are they connected all to one server..

Steps you should follow :

a> taking out the jack(RJ45) from hub and from comp. and try replacing the wire which connects this PC to hub.. (means that intechange betwenn wires of other pc and this pc...)

can be a problem with wire.. or even hub connector .. try changing the socket on the hub.( connect to anyother socket) on the present one..

2> now check the LAN card and your comp. OS (which OS you using)

I've a Sony DRU 820A dual layer DVD writer. From a few days, whenever I eject my drive, it closes on its own after about 2 seconds. It happens about 75% of the time. This has been happening from a few days. What can be wrong?

check your drive for POwer supply... and tighten the cables at the back...

after that just take some vaseline and put it on the sides of door of your ROM..(i hope you understand) the sides (both)

and then eject and insert your door for 5-6 times (in out....)

i think after 20 ins your problem will be solved

APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT ONLY of vaseline..

and if you are also using a cabinet FLAP in front of the DRIVE remove it.. or just loosen it

check your drive for POwer supply... and tighten the cables at the back...

CHECKED

after that just take some vaseline and put it on the sides of door of your ROM..(i hope you understand) the sides (both)

Won't that affect the DVDs i put into the drive. It may get in contact with the media.

No. ! it wont come in COntact ...

i told you to put it on the sides means the tray sides.. which are built for the motor action....

*www.imagehosting123.com/user_images/shan2129/tnmvc620f.jpg

That part of the drive marked in blue wont come out when I press the eject button. I think that's the problem. How can I correct it?
*img520.imageshack.us/img520/5144/tnmvc620fyg8.jpg

Sometimes that part comes out and everything works normal. The problem arises only when that marked part doesn't eject out fully.

ok !!! if thats the problem then just take your drive to a mechanic .. he wont ake much and will just tighten the door screw... or see if you can do it yourself...

its just that your door screw is a bit loose
__________
is your dirve in warranty

Of course my drive has a few warranty left. I have to open the cabinet and tighten the screw, right?

If your drives in warranty take it to service center... and tell them the prob, .. no not the cabinet .. just when the tray comes out .. you will see a nut inside near the motor,,, but DONT DO it yourself ,,, take it to the service cente coz it may turn up to a big door problem in future,,,

so hurry

yeah , it can be used in 2.1 mode.... no problems in that , it can be simply configured by Sound mixer control panel...

Thanks a lot!!!

I was really confused about that.I am new here and dont have any friends. So I was wonderring if we could be friends

Hi All,

I have Two PC's with WinXp. Each PC got Onboard Ethernet Controller.
Also got ADSL Connection (With Ethernet Interface).

Problem is

1. How can i Put Both Computers on LAN cosidering the fact that I Also got ADSL Connection (With Ethernet Interface).

Limitations: Low/No Budget for Additional Hardware

Can I Have Two Ethernet Controllers on Same PC? :???:

two ethernet controllers on same PC .. yeah you can have...

but will they work : i suppose they will.. but you need to make different connections for different hardware..

they might conflict so its better not to have two ethernet controllers on same PC. while you can share your internet connection by a HUB.. i think low cost hubs are there... (if you can spend a bit)

(if not) then you can try installing two devices and then try to configure another device by attaching the both Comp. with a croosover LAN cable. and try the windows XP network wizard..

first. connect with your ADSL and then connect both the PC's with LAN cable on your second ETHERNET CARD.. now run the WINDOWS XP NETWORK WIZARD.. and select small home office network... ,, now select the first ethernet LAN CONNECTION as your internet connectivity and the second connection as your LAN network.. Windows will automatically adjust the IP's and you are done.. follow the same steps on second PC with selecting "" this PC connects with a internet gateway ""

in simple words the first comp. with two lans is your SERVER and the second is NODE..

post here if you want to clearify anything..

hi!!
i have a dual boot p4 2.8 machine with 256mb ram and asrock 845 motherboard.a few months ago my machine started to heat up and the fan started roaring.after some days, the computer started hanging every now and then.sometimes it worked for only 10 mins and sometimes without any problem for hours.however win 98 worked fine.i tried re-installing xp but the system sometimes would hang in the process of installation only.sometimes it said it could not read the disc or the disc was corrupt.
after many tries, xp would install but the problem persisted.a technician looked after the machine and said it was heating problem.
i cleaned the heat sink, fan and checked every connector on my machine.
after that, the cpu was cool but new problem arose.the bios doesn't recognise hard-disk if dvd-rw and hdd are connected to the same cable.but when i separate them, the bios detects hdd but hangs after writing..."searching for boot **** from ide ...ok". sometimes even the screen goes blank and would appear only after a few restarts. what may be the problem? i used memtest to check ram.it was ok....please help..!!!

its not a big problem dude...

just follow these steps.. if you want to connect the HDD and DVD to the same cable.. (well i suggest connect them with different cables..)

remove your HDD and DVD from the comp. completely.. now see the back of both , you will find some jumpers attached..

just read on the top of DVD and HDD it will be written like positions..

:::: like this some jumpers will be there according to the drives you have .. short(pin the jumpers to cable select) in both HDD and DVD.. now attach the DVD to the second and HDD to the first connector...

for best info, see this : *www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/ref/jumper_settings.html

how to know whether ur "processor" is 32-bit or 64-bit?

basically the BIOS system information tells you for AMD its the proccy name.. and for intel its written EM64T well there is a easy way use system information tools :

like

everest -----> download

sis software sandra ------>download
and see the system information..

if your processor is only 1 to 1.5 years old then its surely 64bit..

all intel and AMD ranges are not 64 bit..

woooo.....thanks.....
i never knew that "EM64T" wud mean that....thanks again....
happy that i hav a 64bit pc.....

cool man... my pleasure...

hey shantanu
can u please tell me what to do my transand T610 is not detecting...
what should i do?

First of all ! have you tried attaching it to any other PC..

if not then try to get to the nearest service center for transcend, coz your drive might be taking last breaths

i have seen these kind of issues before and taking it to service is the only way out..

HOW old is it ?

its working in other pc.

get to clean your registry and try running this command..

first insert your windows cd(if XP) then under RUN type this command

SFC /SCANNOW

windows will check for any bad files which are to be repaired ,, it will take some time.. do it and then check whether your system takes your drive or not.. if after this also it does not detects your drive then you have to format your system.. and do a fresh installation of XP, coz this can be a corrupted hardware driver file that is not letting your system detect the drive...

i will also look fot more solutions before you format.. but first try the solution above,,

and do tell here what happened..

A

my jumper settings are absolutely fine, master for hdd and slave for dvd-rw for the same ide cable an\d both master for different cables.
but the problem is that my compuer hangs after the bios boot, i.e it detects the hard disk and then shows that it has found the boot record from hdd.it then hangs.i cannot perform any sort of scanning unless the machine boots into the os..any other suggestion..??

ok well then what power supply r u using... i mean SMPS.. how much watts.. may be your power supply is getting old and not providing adequate power .. second just update the MBR for your HDD...

for updating MBR you have to download the Seagate(if you have seagate HDD) and then burn the .nrg file to cd and then boot from it.. after that go to maintenence option and select update MBR..

download here
