/End Show And Tell

i haven't been around lately on account of i went to the Mohegan Sun casino for the night on Christmas and i have been having problems with my new best friend...

Problems I Still Have:

HEAT HEAT HEAT HEAT HEAT!!! The processor gets way too hot. Solution: Hopefully getting a Swiftech MCX-4000B heatsink and a nice Sunon fan

I still haven't installed Sam yet :ooo: :angry: Solution: Geez, I haven't even got the PC desk and i'm already playing games...lol

Got the Linux version of Quake 3...lol (Christmas gift)

NEW PROBLEM I have no sound anymore

Problems Fixed:

Installing XP Corporate Pro -- NO ACTIVATION!!! (for free w00t...copied from...a friend :D )
Freaking USB's wouldn't work...took me 2 days to fix (just did it 10minutes ago)
Some heat problems...
Problem with Vantec Nexus and Intel Stock Cooler (RPM monitoring---CANNOT DO!!!!)
Setting Up RAID 0 (w00t!)

I think thats it...look in the Gaming Topic in a few for my tiff with the Linux Q3A...lol

Check that link for all of the details...i'm calling ABit in the morning

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Dude don't feel bad I have been waiting for a call back from ASUS.
My probs have not happened in the last few days but a phone call would be nice.
Crappy cust service.
Makes me never wanna buy their product again.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Spend the money and just buy the sound card.
Its the headache free way out. :thumbs:

[Crism]

i don't really want to spend the money when the sound can work...it did work before

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Did you disable onboard audio in your bios?

[Crism]

nope it's all enabled...i get an error Code 10 and it says that the deice cannot start. i'm calling abit at 12 and seeing what they say...i'm probably going to reinstall windows.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

So you are using your motherboards onboard audio correct? You did install the software for it right? :rolleyes:

[Crism]

ya i did...i'm going to reinstall XP tomorrow...

[Sirc]

Man, everyone is having problems with their new stuff. Now I'm glad I didn't upgrade. :unsure:

[MR. SLiK]

Not me. Today I got a stick of 256 pc2100 ddr ram and a seagate 40gb 7200 rpm hd. 1 GB of ram at last! :D the 40GB is so I can backup stuff on this 80gb one. Everything working perfectly! But...

All the cables are all stretch and tangled :wacko:
