Well, the Antec case came with a new PSU. I won't ever get a Northwood again since Intel discontinued them, and I don't think the new heatsink will fit in the support bracket. I could try, but I think I'm looking at a new mobo... so I'll be getting a part-time job soon and saving up for a DFI mobo. But really sucks my situation... Uhm, BIOS doesn't load all the way and I put my hardware back to how I had it before the PC messed up and said "diskette drive 0 seek failure" so I put in the floppy and now no errors BUT it won't let me into Setup or anything. I press F2 on the keyboard but it beeps more. Is it because the CPU gets too hot? If anyone knows any BIOS tricks let me know.

spazmire11, yeah I think it's a Prescott. The CPU came with this better heatsink with a fan that's heavier but it won't fit on the socket with the support bracket that's currently in place. Clint, I managed to get rid of the Invalid Config Info by switching IDE cables. I also managed to get rid of the diskette drive 0 seek failure" message by putting my floppy drive back in. However, I removed Floppy support with nLite and used to have floppy out. I guess with the new CPU maybe BIOS changes were made? However, Windows still won't boot. The BIOS load or whatever hangs at the very end and I still get 2 beeping sounds instead of 4, F2, F12 (Setup - BIOS, and Boot Options) don't work. Any other ideas?

Hi, I recently got a new CPU and its a INTEL PENTIUM 4 3.0 E GHZ PROCESSOR S478 800FSB P4 1MB CACHE from NCIX.com. I thought it was identical to the P4 3.0 GHz CPU that came with my Dell Dimension 8300, but everytime I to boot Windows it says "Invalid Configuration Information, Please Run SETUP Again" and then "diskette Drive 0 Seek Failure". I unplugged all but my primary master drive and keyboard. When I try to press F2 to get into the BIOS, the PC won't give me the chance. It makes a few beeping sounds and gives that same error message. Please don't tell me my new CPU is incompatible with my Mobo... Any ideas? Edit - Oh, and is it normal for the heatsink to be so hot that you can't touch it?

ROTMFFLMMFAO!!!!!!!!!! LOLZ LOLZ LOLZ ROTF LOLZ How can I save that as an AVI?

He's probably Bill Gates.

What a freakin' hassle. IE is garbage and always will be. Opera pwnz. Patched against all known security vulnz. Check secunia security advisories if you don't believe me. I want a secure browser, not s***.

Not a new PC, just new parts. Still a P4 3.0 GHz with 512 DDR PC3200, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, Sound Blaster Live! 5.1. A Dell Dimension 8300 originally. I junked the case and got a new Antec case, as well as a VGA Silencer for my ATI card. Got a new Panaflo 80mm 28 dB for the front of the case, and finally Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste. In an attempt to put things together, I managed to damage my CPU so now I'm going to receive a new one tomorrow.

Nice graphics.

Not practical. Wouldn't ever try it.

My lowest in C:\WINDOWS was 182 MBs. Clint's is 145 MB. I think we can get to 100 MBs. I really do.

Still working on it or thinking it's as good as it's going to get?

Have you guys ever considered what Windows XP would be like without a shell32.dll? I mean, for those who don't want icons? Would save some resources/memory for sure. Just curious on your thoughts. Cheers.

Lemme guess, because it's included in the OS which means you don't have to waste your time downloading and setting up something else, that just so happens to be better?

[right][post="366178"][/post][/right][/quote] I don't usually search for old stuff. And since I use mainly torrents and BitComet is an incredibly fast and simple program to use, it doesn't take time to load its GUI and connect to networks that are seemingly useless, and doesn't download 99.9% of time and the 0.00% of the time it does "download" it's less than 1 KB/s. All other time it is just pending! I'm sorry but I prefer to have a 800 MB file done in 1-2 days, not months. Shareaza sucks for me. [b]For me.[/b] If it rulez for you, fine. I don't care. Have fun with it, I use what works for me. Cheers.

I know it's been said already but those of us who capture audio/video from our TVs and transfer DV from our camcorders and do encodings that produce several large-sized temp files, this takes up harddrive space very quickly. That's why we use such big HDs.

TMPGEnc DVD Author is really good. DVDAuthorGUI is also good, and free. New versions come out frequently as the author fixes and improves stuff, making it easier and more efficient. A guy who posted a comment on the program's page on www.videohelp.com said he authored 75+ hours of DVD with the program, so I guess it's awesome.

Well, it makes it difficult for many people to read 5 lines of words that aren't seperated by any grammar whatsoever. C'mon, now... Just go through the Options and I'm sure you'll figure our your problem on your own. You could also consider using a different chat program like Trillian or Gaim.

It's to decrease boot time and enable a user to use the SYSTEM account, right? My boot time averages at about 15 seconds, that's fine for me. I'm not picky about milliseconds. The SYSTEM account is probably the most unsecure user account to use in terms of security. I have no use for Minlogon, so that's why.

Build your own.

I always do.

Heh.

Yep, that video is very old, but hilarious.
