<0> sup dg
<1> just built a server for 43k
<2> what sounds
<2> there are beep codes
<2> dayam spam
<2> go on
<3> oh. i managed it to boot from the HD
<0> anypone know how to delete files from dos
<3> but i don't get why sometimes it just doesn't react when i turn it on
<2> loose cable somewhere
<2> burntman, del
<2> rm
<0> del burnt.exe
<0> ?
<2> sure
<0> k
<3> does it matter which side of the ide cable i plug into the mb?
<0> ya
<0> should be a slot in it
<4> end...
<5> since when did that matter
<3> both of the sides look exactly the same
<2> one has a hole missing
<2> or ping
<2> pin*
<3> i know what you're talking about but in this cable there isn't a hole missing
<6> how do I know what to ser "CPU External Frequency" in the BIOS menu to?
<2> what is it currently
<6> currently it is set to 133 MHz but CPU Frequency Multiple is 10.0
<2> should be an auto setting.
<6> External Freq. is manual only, the multiple has an auto option
<6> wouldn't that make the CPU run at 1.3GHz (instead of 1GHz)?
<2> right
<2> i guess
<2> so is this intel
<5> bugonshoe you are missunderstanding him
<2> thank you voice in my head
<7> i'm hearing popping noises from my modem today...
<6> what difference does it make to run the CPU at a higher external frequency (an compensating the changes with the multiplier)?
<7> it's clear as can be also... no storms even in my state
<8> Overclocking?
<8> I have no clue was popping would be =P
<6> just tuning, i don't want to risk damage
<6> hm.... *do* i risk damage by picking a higher external freq alone?
<9> hi. is there a digital printer that can rival resolution of high quality contact prints?
<7> i'm thinking line noise or something
<7> seems to drop a few packets when it does it
<10> oh
<7> i feel helpless
<7> living in hicksville with 20 year old copper lines
<10> so move
<7> ha
<7> yeah, send me money..
<7> the Geofu move fund
<10> no, you get a better job
<10> or spend less
<8> http://fistagon.org/~janne/public/If_men_wrote_advice_columns.jpg
<7> i can't get a single job, must less a better job
<3> look im completely desperate
<3> can someone help me?
<6> sorry for asking so many questions ;)
<6> is it a problem if my RAM runs at 2x FSB frequency?
<6> i mean, shoudn't ram be slower than the cpu?
<11> Unless it's l1 cache, yes.
<8> Mosesdd; are you asking about which end to use of an IDE cable?
<8> Mosesdd; if so.. sometimes the 2 ends that are closer to eachother, would tell you the other end is the end to connect to motherboard
<11> If you have a FSB of 66mhz and your RAM can function at 133mhz, it wount matter as long as it's compatable, it will just run at 66MHz.
<3> <8> i wish my problem was that simple. im having a much bigger one
<10> http://tinyurl.com/6wt37
<11> Mosesdd: What is your problem?
<6> hm... memtest shows "RAM: 198 MHz" and "FSB: 99 MHz"
<6> weird
<10> not really
<10> DDR
<10> what CPU?
<11> The RAM is probly double pumped. It gets accessed twice on each clock tick.
<6> Duron "Morgan" 1GHz
<10> well, there you go
<8> http://fistagon.org/~janne/public/3230.jpg
<6> Hoe``: how can I find that out?
<11> amee2k: PC Wizard 2006 is a good program for hardware information.
<12> lol Sanguines
<3> after i press on the "turn on" button of the computer, the cpu fan starts to work, the cd rom light turning green, indicating it's getting electricity and the red little light of the computer is on. but there is nothing on the screen, and there is no "beep" of the motherboard starting to work
<7> checked your jumpers?
<6> Hoe``: it doesn't have an OS installed yet and installing windows just to delete it after a few minutes is an overkill :/
<11> Mosesdd: The first step to that is disconnecting every thing but video, ram, cpu, and psu. See if it boots then. If you don't have a PSU tester, get one.
<11> amee2k: Ah :P
<6> is there an easier or linux way?
<11> I'm not sure if linux has any simple way to do it.
<3> Geofu: there is no jumper on the HD
<11> Mosesdd: Is this a new build?
<3> Hoe: what is psu?
<11> Power supply.
<11> mosesdd: If it is a new build, check that the 2x2 12volt aux power is plugged into the board.
<7> Mosesdd, power supply unit
<7> the HD wouldn't be causing you to not boot, i don't think
<7> you should have it unpluged though, for testing
<3> ok. i disconnected everything (HD, Floppy and CDROMs) tunred the computer on, still - nothing
<11> geofu: Bad cables can work magic.
<7> you have processor, memory an dvideo cards?
<7> no pci or other cards?
<11> geofu: One time I thought my new box was busted because the damn floppy drive was grounding so the psu was not kicking on.
<7> heh
<3> its important to say that im working on this computer the whole day and sometimes it happend before but the i turned it off played a little with the cables and then it worked ok
<11> And lord knows how many bad NICs I've seen cause a lockup durring post.
<11> mosesdd: Definately check the psu.
<7> Mosesdd, the only cables you should have is power to the motherboard and possibly video card
<7> the rest should just be unplugged
<7> testing the psu would be nice about now, as Hoe` said :p
<11> A psu tester will set you back 15~25$, you may be able to get away with just bringing the psu down to a local store and having them check it out.
<7> i've still yet to get a multimeter
<3> so i need to get another psu and check it on the computer?
<7> Mosesdd, go to radioshack... lol
<11> If you have a second psu kicking around, you can try that in there to see if it works.
<11> Radioshack will charge you 10x the price on every thing :P
<7> nah, they're not bad on the multimeters
<11> Oh yes, their little yellow one is a decent price.
<11> But using a multimeter to test the ATX cable is a pain.
<7> around here, it's about the only place you can get that stuff
<3> damnnn... where whould i get a psu? when i took this computer the only thing i needed to do is to reinstall windows and now this....
<11> mosesdd: Got any other computers around?
<7> 'took this computer'
<3> i have 3 computers
<3> but 2 of them very old
<3> and this one is my own computer which was very expensive so i prefer to leave it out
<3> this one = the one im writing from
<7> someone gave it to you?
<3> yeah
<3> sometimes people give me their computers so that i'll fix it for them
<3> which is definately a bad idea :)
<7> they didn't say what happened?
<3> how can it be a psu problem if the cd rom is getting electricity?
<7> number of ways
<11> mosesdd: It could be some thing along the lines of the -5v line is dead,which the cdrom drive does not use.
<11> I mostly see dead -5v lines.
<3> -5v lines are the lines connected to the mb?
<11> It is one of them, yes.
<3> oh, that's comforting :)
<11> http://xtronics.com/reference/atx_pinout.htm
<3> i got this computer yesterday and it was fine. is it really possible that during this one day i managed to ruin the psu?
<13> yes
<7> lol
<11> But you said that it would randomly crap out, no?
<13> and its likely nothing you did...
<13> just faulty
<3> i mean, the computer wasn't fine, it had many problems in windows so all i wanted to do is to format it and reinstall windows..
<7> Mosesdd, you have a keyboard plugged in?
<3> yeah
<7> to ps/2?
