Question 1: Is it still doing it ? Question 2: What ? Question 3: Did it stop doing it after you were done with the transfers ? Question 4: Don't worry, be happy ! Question 5: Backup your important files to an external drive or to DVD if you are that concerned.

I am completely satisfied with Vista Premium x64 now even though it was a rocky road at the beginning. I only have 2 gigs of ram but I have yet to run into a problem related to this fact. I play games such as Far Cry 2, Call of duty (all of them), Bioshock etc... and use Photoshop and Paintshop...

Update ! Finally got SP1 to finish installing, I reset the cmos to default settings and disabled everything I didn't need since I got sick and tired of trying to pinpoint the cause of the problem and voila !!!! The whole install process took about 1.5 hrs and I haven't had a problem since. I...

No luck yet, installed the latest updates but still had the same results. Also disabled the onboard sound but that did nothing either. I can't get the event log right now 'cause I'm on the laptop. I'm just going to have to be patient.

Carpo, I do have all the latest drivers, which I made sure I had prior to even considering SP1. ray_gillespie, by standalone, i meant the 700mb file from the microsoft site. I have tried with the sata drive disabled since vista would not even install on it but the same thing happened. I have not...

Been there, done that ! As stated in my post, tried both the win update and standalone version.

I have Vista x64 home premium installed, which was running pretty good without any major glitches other than driver issues with some peripherals. When I try to install sp1 via windows update, all looks good until the final reboot when the computer boots in to the bios and then the screen goes...

Thanks for the reply LeeJend ! Since I just got the vid card for XMas last year, I'm gonna keep it for a year or so before I upgrade but I have been considering the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ as a cpu upgrade in the near future.

Hi All. I have been trying out Vista for approx. a month now and I have tried a few games but they all seem to have the same symptom. The video is jerky !!! It does the same for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007, Supreme Commander, Tomb Raider Legend and Brothers in Arms. These are the only games I...

All is well that ends well :nervous: After all my hair pulling, I noticed that the thermal sensor lead was keeping the waterblock off the die just enough to prevent proper cooling. Now all is reassembled and my cpu and gpu temps are remaining around 36 celsius idle and 40 to 42 under load. I am...

Ok, now I'm baffled. Removed the waterblock off the cpu but left the gpu waterblock on and reinstalled the volcano 9 and all is back to normal. On die cpu temp is hovering around 47 celsius on idle and external cpu temp is around 38. What can I do to utilize my cpu waterblock ? I removed...

AthlonXP 3200, not trying to overclock. I ran memtest on sticks individually and got no errors but still get the same bsod stop errors, i will put the hsf back on after work and see if it all goes back to normal. Will let you know how I make out. Is it possible for the ram slots to all go bad at...

I tried one stick out and swapped individually, no go. Can't use memtest, can't boot into the os. Is it likely that both sticks would go bad ? System was working fine before cooling kit. The only thing I have not tried yet was to remove the wc-202 and put things back as they were.

Forgot to mention the power supply, 550 watt Okia.

Hi all. Here's hoping someone can help me with this. It is not the best system in the world but it still does everything I need it to. First, the stats: OS: XP pro M/B: Soyo SY-KT600 PLUS V.1.0 Ram: 512 x 2 PC3200 DDR ( matched ) H/D: 160gig Seagate ide HP dvd burner Vid card: Ati Radeon X700...

I also have a lot of folders but to prevent an easily confused brain on my end, what I do is setup new folders on my desktop for the proggies I used the most ie: Burning software, grapic soft, games etc... Then I right click the taskbar at the bottom, goto the toolbars tab at the top of the...

Sounds like a bad installation disk to me, I always make a copy of any os disk I receive with a new machine, just in case. Other than that, could be a bad hard drive, bad stick of ram !!!! Fact is stranger than fiction with these things sometime. Is this a brand new system that you are building ?

Put a windows explorer icon on your desktop, right click the icon and goto the shortcut tab, paste this in " %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, C:\ " without the quotes after you have everything setup the way you want it.

Ok, now I know.Thanks

Never mind, I didn't realize that some people may not be able to update in that manner. I'm not sure why they can't but maybe someone can enlighten me ...
