I'm having a problem with my Rev 1.1 board. Every time I plug my new
Safecom external HDD enclosure in to a USB2 socket I get a BSOD.
The enclosure works in ok in a USB1 socket (albeit at USB1 speeds) but I
get the BSOD even if it's the only device plugged into a USB2 socket.

O.S: WinXp pro sp2, full upgraded
raid 0 on ide3 with 2 hd maxtor
on ide 1 primary master: dvd burner Pioneer
on ide 1 primary slave : dvd burner LG

I currently have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb agp video card and would
like to know what would be one to steps up in quality with the same chipset?
I want to start playing a few video games and think I need a bit more speed.
I also may want to overclock the card.

I also posted this in a SCSI news group:
I bought an adaptec 29160 PCI card on ebay.  It  is a 64 bit card but
when I install it in a variety of 32 bit pci slot my machine will not
boot.  It just hangs up and the video won't even start.  I have tried

I have a friend who has recently upgraded an old Gateway GP6-450 with a
Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 MB.  Now he can not get the system to power up.  It
has a 200w stock PS which still boots the old board.  I think the power
switch might be faulty.  Can it be disabled in any way??  He does not

Hi ..
I have just built a system using a gigabyte 7vm400am-rz motherboard,sempron
2600+ and a western digital 160 GB SATA HDD.
However i am unable to get the LED on the case to light up, I have tried

I'm new to this NG, so thank you very much so long for your help.
I have just bought a PC with a GA-K8VM800M motherboard which I am very
happy with. Upon booting, I notice that the S.M.A.R.T. function is disabled
on my motherboard. Where do I enable it again? I want this to be ...

I saw several people post threads who wanted to do this, but nothing
conclusive has come of it.
Apparently the board chipset (intel 7205) will support FSB speeds up to
800 without straining itself.. it is just a matter of having an 800FSB

Is Gigabyte's GA-K8N Ultra-9 a new board? How long has it been out?
I have not found much that has been written about this GA-K8N Ultra-9
board.
Plenty of info is available for the GA-K8NXP-9 board.

It's at Gigabyte's official site:

In my board HTT multipliers aren't working with this bios!

I have just built a PC based on the GA-K8NXP-9 motherboard and all has gone
very well.
Except for one issue. I cannot see how you get to activate Activearmour the
NVidia4 hardware firewall.

My CPU is the Barton XP3200, I'm not interested in overclocking, just in
getting the CPU to run at the correct speed.
I've already RTFM, and hopefully understood correctly ... have set the
CLK_SW to OFF (i.e. 100MHz for FSB 200MHz CPU per the manual), and

I have a K8NS Pro motherbaord (F9 bios) and I can not get the system to even
bootup to CMOS if I try installing two modules of 512MB RAM.
I have tried slots 1&2, 1&3 and 2&3.
It either remains a blank screen, makes long beeps, or gets to the video

Since upgrading from BIOS F6 to F7 I can now run N-Tune. However, I get the
following warning when starting the programme: 'PCI clock is currently set
to track the HT Bus ... Please check your motherboard manual to find out how
to disable this behaviour'.
