Newbie (1/14)

  1. Recently I was in need to re-installing Windows XP. The downside is the CD has went missing! I tried the DFI website, but could not find one file with all of the drivers. I was un sure which drivers to download, seeing as I noticed some were copires and updates. My Motherboard is in my signature, but for those who do not want to look a couple of inches down, it is a LP UT NF4 Ultra-D. Does anyone have a link to the files that came on the CD for drivers?
  2. This is the second time it has done this in a one month period. The system itself was built a year ago on the 2nd of June this year. Any RAM suggestions if this RAM is no good? I would hate to have to buy new RAM and get crappy stuff.
  3. Negative, I should do that. It is possible it could be bad RAM. The PSU is fairly new, and everything else is working okay. The RAM was on sale Kingston at the time..
  4. Duing a rousing game of World of Warcraft earlier this evening, the computer locked up, the sound skipping like crazy. The only solution was to hit the reset button, which brought me to a black screen. I turned the system off and let it sit for a couple of minutes, then fired it back up. IUt reached the "Detectiing IDE Drives..." part and hung up, the Hard Drive light flashing off and on in one second intervals. Turned it off, re-turned it on to get: "Re-setting CPU Voltage in BIOS, please enter SETUP" or something along those lines. I entered BIOS and restored Defaults (I have yet to change any settings in BIOS) I turned it off, and opened it up, and checked conections, pressing them in. I shut the case and restarted, and it booted up fine. After getting into Windows, 10 minutes into it, I received a BSoD with a Machine Check Error. (Or something like that.. >
  5. Alright, I will do that. Thanks for your help and have a good holiday weekend/New Year
  6. I see. Ironically, it was a group of friends who suggested Kingston for the Stability, etc etc. hince why I went with it. Next time I will do some more research and see if I can come up with a better RAM choice on my next upgrade (Gonna try to hit 2GB RAM after New Years) Any suggestions on what company to watch for?
  7. Flashed, and everything works like a charm so far No problems, and SSE/SSE2 is enabled. System actually loaded up faster this time as well. Thank you for your time ReInvented. If it does act up, what would be wrong with the memory?
  8. Gotcha reinvented, be back in a bit, gonna try this.
  9. Alright, thanks for that What about clearing the BIOS and getting computer to post? NVM- I know what POST is now. Stupid me. What about clearing BIOS?
  10. Use KillCMOS before the flash, then after flash, to "clear" the BIOS, would I go in and Load Optimized Defaults? And by getting computer to post, do you mean getting to it restart and load? Sorry for the constant questions, little newbish when it comes to BIOS and CMOS. :drool:
  11. Just to make sure I do not go off and kill something, when I run the T-Mod CD at boot, would I choose the DFI nF4 N4d623-3 BIOS?
  12. Thanks, I will give it a try and see if it fixes anything
  13. Currently, I do not sadly. I just went from an old hand-me-down Pentium 2 laptop to this machine I saved up for. I also found out my BIOS Date and info, which I am adding into my siganture. AwardBIOS Phoenix (3/10/2005)
  14. When I first built this machine, I had it all put together, then started to install Windows XP. Well, every 5 minutes into the install it would BSOD out. After about an hour of hair pulling and thinking, I finally found that by disabling SSE/SSE2 Instructions in the BIOS, I could get Windows installed, and it ran fine, no problems. Well, recently I pruchased a copy of Age of Empires 3, and it requires SSE/SSE2 Instructions in order to play. Forgetting about my past problems, I hopped into BIOS and Re-Enabled it. Sad to say, the computer re-booted the second Windows XP loaded to the desktop. The only way to stop it from doing this was to disable the SSE/SSE2 Instructions once again. Is there any known fix for this, or any ideas on how I could get this to work with my system? With it off, the system is very very stable, and has no problems. The only change in the BIOS itself from my tinkering is the SSE/SSE2 Instructions. (I worry I may mess with something I am not sure of and kill my computer.) Right now I am going to get what version of the BIOS I have, so I can add that in my signature as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated
