3DMark '99 - Geforce7 7950GT on Windows ME. Its CPU bottlenecked around 24600 3DMarks all the up to 1600x1200, 32bit color, 24bit Z-Buffer. Bumping AA to 2xQ on these settings finally has the card doing some work as shown, but not much more. 22361. Hi I'm getting over 51k 3dmark 2000, but only 7k …

Hi sorry yes meant Gigabyte not Asus. I'm trying to update to F1 but it's saying the bios is locked and won't update. No jumper as far as I can find. Only think I can think of it's at F1 already. I'll check

Hi all Hope you are well. Edit - when I installed windows XP is said motherboard does not support ACPI press F7 to ignore. Is this the problem below? I have a GA-6BXDS with USB ports. However they are not working. I'm getting a error on the intel 8237 (see pick). When installing the driver it says …

Well that was a lesson in FDD shehhanigans. I had three FDD drives and 7 disks. 2 drive was faulty and several disks. I was trying good disks with the faulty drive and bad disks in the good two. Only thing I can think of. Anyway suddenly all is good. I have checked for dry joints on the card (been …

Hi Hope you're all well Just running out of things to check. The FDD is not showing any signs of life unless the cables are on backward then is lights up. HDD seems fine but shows a disk error when booting (known good) The FDD doesn't make any whirring clicking noises. I have checked : 1. Multiple …

Hi Hope everyone is well I have got 2 identical PC on a card (not sure of the correct term). They are socket 370 and have memory, VGA, I/O controller PS/2 etc etc everything apart from sound. It plugs into a backplane if you want expandability which is a combo of ISA and PCI - I believe the slots …

Hi all, Hope you are well. I have been donated two adaptor cards (see pics) no brand or jumpers so I guess not that great but I thought I would mess about with them.

Hi all I have repaired the above but CMOS settings aren't saved. I have replaced the battery of course, but the negative terminal isn't connected to anything? I have checked details/pics on this website but no joy. The negative side of the battery has no obvious connection. Jumper setting are to …

Fixed! Not sure what fixed it as i consolidated some of both your points. Actions taken: 1. Cleaned all the slots 2. Moved the IO card closer to the CPU and the video card to the furthest slot. Both VBL and an empty VBL slot between them. LOL - not sure this point made a differance I thought it …

Current jumpers:

Hi Apologies for the long post... Resurrecting a 486dx4 120mhz that had battery damage. That's fixed and it posts, goes into to Dos etc. A head scratcher is the hard disk. It has 2 IDE channels on the winbond card. Both work with a CD player, Dos recognises it. Tested several cables all good. The …

Hi all Just repairing a soyo 486 motherboard. Due to battery leakage it was reporting a keyboard error at post - that's fixed or at least i think so. Now it posts to pressing F1 to continue or Del to setup. However when attaching a compaq keyboard with a serial connector (it's serial on the board) …
