    Does Hydravision work?

    I don't think that is ultramon's fault. But the application itself.

    Win2k restart/shutdown problem

    Well I'm not getting that shutdown error anymore in my new build which has no floppy drive and I think it is disabled in the bios. So maybe try disabling it and see if it goes away?

    I just gambled on a Powerleap upgrade...

    I would generally check their prices every once in a while as an option to upgrade my P3 667 slot 1. But everytime I compared the price to a low end amd with motherboard and ram, I just didn't think the upgrade was worth the money. This all came down to Intel's processors being so expensive...

    It has gone down a couple degrees 160 to 158 Temp2 really dropped from 108 to 93.

    SpeedFan

    It doesn't seem to but neither does the CPU temp! That could be that I'm running two folding@home services so that I'm always using 100% CPU. I'll stop them for a while and see if the temp changes.

    Yes it makes a bit of noise. It is really the only thing I hear in the whole system. It isn't that load though. I kind of wish I went with the non-stock HSF and if I get annoyed enough I may swap it out. I'll post the other screen tonight.

    Me? F4 Anyway my screwed up webpage problem resurfaces. So far I haven't reproduced it with IE but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen with IE. It is sporadic, though it seems to happen the very first time I start firefox. The problem is that instead of a web page I get text, like javascript...

    Temperature Monitoring Utility?

    MBM isn't being maintained anymore so what do you all use. The temp readings from the sensors provided in my case are reading 99 and 101 degrees F. Gigabyte provides a way to monitor them but I want something maybe that sits in the system tray. Simple is better.

    Nvidia Firewall

    It is all working now! No svchost errors on startup and microsoft update works! I noticed after one of the svchost dying that the windows firewall service was stopped with an access denied message in the event log. So I re-enabled the nvidia firewall and disabled the windows firewall for that...

    The RAM sticks are identical... well nearly so. I'll post about that later. So the CRC errors went away when I downloaded with IE. So I cleared the firefox cache and they went away in firefox. I thought the downloads were happening awful fast. It must have been just giving me some cached...

    So the laptop can download fine hooked up to that port. But hooking the computer up to the other lan port (marvell yukon) still gives the crc errors. I wonder if this is some sort of auto-sense issue with the router/ports since these are gigabit ports?

    Well somethings screwy with this system. That is what I liked about my old system, I knew all its quirks and had solved them all. New computer, new quirks. Anyway, I'm thinking the nvidia lan port is corrupting my downloads. My laptop can download the NOD32 install and extract just fine over...

    So I reinstalled NOD32 this time making sure not to enable the http part of IMON right from the start. But I couldn't install it from my machine. When I would download it and then extract it the crc would fail. So I downloaded it from my laptop extracted it and then brought the files over and...

    Well it hasn't been without it's problems so far. Once I moved the computer in place and rerouted the wire (oh what a pain that is). The keyboard stopped working in windows. It was hooked up to the PS/2 port. So I tried another one (same model) and it gave the same problem. So I removed the...

    Is the nvidia firewall any good? Any reason I should use that over the windows firewall? Which is how I have it setup right now. Do I need to use their software to get the benefits of the hardware? And I'm not sure but I think it is conflicting with NOD32. I installed NOD32 and on reboot and...

    There were a couple things in my way to a 100% successful build that I'm going to recount here. I discovered a scratch on the face of my case at the bottom under the antec logo. In taking off the face plate, a plastic part broke off. My motherboard had bios F1 which worked but wasn't...

    Win2k restart/shutdown problem

    Is NOD32 what has been generating that message on my machine? (XP Home) I don't have to click continue it will eventually restart on its own. This might be a new thing because I don't remember experiencing it before. I don't remember if I had the problem on the my win2k build. I replaced it...

    Newegg has a credit plan?

    When I worked as a computer salesman this type of option was a good thing for sales. People would buy the computers if they could pay in 90 or 180 days or more without interest. As a consumer I think it is a bad thing, let's you get easily in debt with a horrible interest rate.

    I lost my temper with a customer today

    It seems like you are more concerned with the loss of control than with the incident itself. In that case I can only say that this is probably commonplace for a person of your ... err... vintage. I'm kidding of course. Seriously, I don't think you are going crazy or anything.

    So I've done 1 AMD processor heatsink install about 2 years ago. For my new computer I ordered the artic silver 5 and plan to use the stock AMD heatsink. The processor is an AMD x2 3800+.
