Who can answer to my question:
what means the alphabets and numbers in the mainboards lable?
|
|
|
|

That really depends on the manufacturer.
I think some manufacturers for AMD-processor-boards use the "Kx"-designation - anything with K7 being a MB for an Athlon/Duron, K8 for an Athlon64, etc.
Thats JUST A GUESS, though. The most important clue to judge the mainboard would be the "CHIPSET" and "SOCKET" columns in an online-shop, followed by RAM-slot and Card-Slot information.
If you want to be sure, try to download MB manuals. Most manufacturers offer those on their website.
Cheers,
Sebastian

1. Is there any other way to move XP to bigger drive that Norton Ghost?
I got one but it refuses to work.
2. How can I convince XP to let me load Advanced Sever 2000 for dual boot?
It won't let me run setup because the "2000 is older that XP".
Is that a form of age discrimination or just MS being arrogant?

Hello, i am trying to write an application that saves about 11,520 images a minute a windows disk. The image size varies round the 8 to 20 kb. The application needs to run 24 / 7. At the moment i have a windows XP server service pack 2 and if i run the application after a 5 / 10 min the server crashes as the memory goes up and up. The commit charge rises all the time. I dont think i have a memory leak in the program but maybe the application is stressing the OS. Any raccomandations? any tuning i can do to the system. The application is written in c# .net v 2.0
Any help would be great as i have been banging my head on a wall now for some time
Thank in advance to any one that will take the time to read this

re-write it in C++

If the commit charge keeps going up, you have a memory leak somewhere. Are you Dispose()ing all of the image objects when you're done with them?

I needed one of mine networked PC's (server with RAID) to autologon on startup - no keyboard or CRT. I used registry modification per MS article 310584. It works fine. The problem is I need to stop it and if I just turn the power off - I know it is a no no - the RAID gets messed up and on subsequent restart the RAID goes thru hours of rebuilding and things slow down considerably.
How do I stop the server remotely?
Thanks for your time.

Take a look at the parameters of Shutdown.exe (shutdown.exe /?) or run it in interactive mode (ie. with a GUI)(shutdown.exe \i). It lets you connect to and shutdown remote PCs...

Hi all,
I've an external usb hard drive (IOMEGA 120 Gb) that it's frozen after trying to defrag it. I began the defraq sequence but it didn't finished because the OS was hanged after a while. Now, when I plug it to the PC all the computer is hanged until I unplugged it. Sometimes after several minutes plugged the OS responds but the unit issn't mapped at all.
Is there any tool that I could use to recover the disk?
Thansk in advance,
Marc Soleda

This has recently started happening, I only noticed since upgrading my PC case.
1. Cold start - everything works great.
2. Reboot - no sound, skype complains that there is no recording device (though it still sees the USB microphone built into the camera, I think the error is misleading). No volume icon, sometime get an error saying that a system tray icon could not be created for the nvprobe.
I have disabled the motherboard sound, and installed a Creative sounds card, it exhibits the same problem.

hi

You mean that your screen is showing partly in colors and partly black & white? 
|
|
|
|
|
no,i mean some part has no color though it is colory.
|
|
|
|
|
what graphics card, what drivers? it sounds like the drivers aren't loaded and you are running the default VGA in lowres color, but it is hard to know for sure.

I'm building a killer PC for myself, but I have a problem: The PC won't boot normally.
Configuration:
dual Xeon 2.8Ghz 2MB Cache 800MHZ FSB
Intel SE7525GP2 motherboard
Enermax 485W powersupply
ASus N6500 PCI-express VGA-adapter
40GB + 120GB harddrive
DVD-player and DVD-rewriter
Problem is, with a dual setup it boots, but doesnt get beyond the POST. With a single setup (CPU only in the first socket) it doesnt even power on.
I have the feeling that my powersupply isn't enough for the machine, but I'm not entirely sure...

P.S. 1GB Kinston DDR 400 Ram is installed in the machine

485W should be plenty esp. since it only boots with 2 cpus, what about the RAM? You could try slowing that down to be on the safe side.
Remove the RAM and you should get the beeps for no RAM present.

It should be enough power. I would look at other possibilities:
dual Xeon (Nocona) 110w x 2 (at full load)
nVidia 6500 ~65W (I don't know the exact number, but 6800 == 105w and 6500 is listed at more than 50% of the 6800 but significantly less, so I made a guess)
12w per HD (these range 9-12w, choose high and you are safe)
DVD RW 10w (12w if lightscribe, otherwise 8-10w is standard)
that is approximately 319w, I am not sure of the exact power consumption of your motherboard, but it is below 100w. So unless there is a physical problem with your power-supply, you are well within the safe range.
We run dual Xeons, with top-of-the-line graphics, 5 hard-drives and DVD RW, we do use a 550w, but have used the 450w prior to Nocona (95w prior to Nocona). Because we don't know what customers will do with the machines after they get them, we have to provide enough extra power to cover what users will "add" to the system.
Generally you will not get a full post if you don't have enough power. I would start checking your CMOS settings. Where is it stopping? at boot? is your boot setup right? can you boot on CDROM without a hard-drive? What happens when it stops? does it shut off (this is a sign you are over-power, your powersupply will shutdown.) Is your power supply dual line powered? (separate line of power to CPU/motherboard from the rest of the equipment)

With both CPU's installed the fans turn on, but the board doesn't boot into the BIOS screen.
When there's only one CPU installed the computer only switches on for a short moment and shuts off imidiatly.
I have an enermax Noise taker 485W with a separate 12V rail for the motherboard.

what's it's rating for 12V power? it should be listed on the side of the PSU in amps. *12 for wattage. The cpus, gfx cards, and disk drives all primarily draw 12v power. If you have a psu using an older design it might not be able to fully power the 12v rail even if it can put out enough total watts.
If you have a multimeter, test this by measuring the voltage between a yellow and a black wire of the atx plug on the mobo when you hit the switch. You should see 12v. FOr completeness also test the aux 12v connector, and the red and orange wires of the atx plug (they should be +5 and +3.3v respectively over ground).

18A per rail.
I even have 12.3V when measuring between the yellow and black wires.
So this should be okay.

That sounds like a power issue... but with one CPU you should be well below the power requirements....
I did find the motherboard requirements... higher than I expected. 131w maximum not counting CPUs....
Do you have extra power running to the graphics card or does it take all the power from the PCI-ex slot? I can't find that model with google.
Not sure why it would be giving you power issues... but you can start testing from here. What I would do:
Pull everything off power except motherboard and VGA (no drives, no CD-Rom) and one or two CPUs (or both one at a time). Double check that you have your power set properly on the motherboard. Is there an extra 8pin power that is on the motherboard? (20+4+8 or 24+8)
are CPU coolers firmly attached? if your CPUs overheat the system will shut down, this is a safety state above 70C (or where-ever the CMOS is set to emergency shutoff).
Start from a barebones system
