Changing HAL from standard pc to acpi

joe_star — Sun, 25 May 2008 15:25:41 +0800

My friend has a c2d system which he recently reformated. However, during the start of the install process, he accidentally selected "standard pc with c-step" in the HAL selection. Now his pc shows up as standard pc under device manager instead of ACPI multiprocesor pc. Also, when he shuts down he has to manually turn off the power. Is there any way to change it to ACPI multiprocessor pc without reformating? I tried using the update driver function but only standard pc shows up in the options. Thanks for any help.

Abit NF M2-S + X25000+ BE = compatible?

joe_star — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:50:51 +0800

As stated above, are these 2 hardwares compatible? DO I need to flash the bios 1st or anything? I bought the mobo in Dec 2007, not sure of the bios version since the comp isnt with me atm. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Oooops......so sorry that I posted this in the wrong forum. Any mods, please move this to Hardware Q & A. Thanks and sorry for the trouble!!

Budget graphics card

joe_star — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:26:05 +0800

Hey, can anyone recommend me a cheap GC to go into my 2nd rig. My budget is RM150-RM250, and hopefully within this price range I will be able to play the latest games on low at 800x600 or 1024x768. I prefer a new card as I want this fella to last long. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Dying Driveshaft, how long does it have to live?

joe_star — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:53:44 +0800

Hi guys, 1st time posting here . Anyways, my kancil EX850's driveshaft is bad. Not sure if its the left or right 1 as the usual driveshaft knocking noise comes when I'm going straight The sound has been around for about a month now but I havent had the time to get it repaired. I will probably do repairs in about a week. However, I would just be curious as to how long can the driveshaft last from the time it starts making noise to complete failure. Also, what would be the effects in case of a driveshaft failure while driving. If I'm not mistaken a friend had his driveshaft fail while on the road, only effect he said was that it became very very difficult to turn the steering. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Gigabyte 8800GT Turboforce fanspeed control

joe_star — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:35:02 +0800

Hey, I tried asking this question in the 8800gt thread but no one seemed to know(or bother ) so thats why I'm asking it here in a new thread. I bought this card about 3 weeks ago and til today I still have no idea on how to control the fan speed. I've tried rivatuner and ntune, both dont seem to affect the speed. Anyone has this card and managed to change the speed? My card is the version with the zalman fan.

psu prob?

joe_star — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 09:18:08 +0800

Hi. The rig involved is the 2nd 1 in my signature. The psu is a powerlogic cap ayam powersupply that came with the case. The problem started since yest. I was playing a game when the comp suddenly turned off without warning. When i tried to start it it failed to power on. However, when i tried after half an hour it worked, but arn for another 15 mins then turned off. The pattern has continued since then. Any ideas ppl? thnx

low end parts + cap ayam psu = ok?

joe_star — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 20:15:53 +0800

Hi.....am building a pc on a very tight budget for family to use. Its not gonna do anything intensive, just my mom web-browsing, me downloading on weekends and my cousin playing flash games

AMD sempron 3200+
Abit NF M2S
1Gb DDR2 ram
160GB sata HDD
DVD Burner
powerlogic casing+psu

Am gonna use the onboard gfx for the moment and later on maybe upgrade to a low end GC. Would the cap ayam psu that comes with the casing be enough for the moment?

streamyx frequently disconnects

joe_star — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 10:17:32 +0800

Broadband provider: tmnut
ISP/package: streamyx 1mb
Location: pj
Have you called your ISP's helpline?: not yet coz they're too irritating

Personal equipment
Modem: aztech dsl600e
Router: built in, using 5 port tplink switch
Firewall used: windows

Problem details
First occurence of problem: 3 months
Problem frequency: daily
Problem description: Basicly its like this. Ive had streamyx for around 3 months now and its shared between 3 people. Since the beginning this problem has occured where the line disconnects after around 2 hours. The dsl light would start blinking and the modem status would say dsl is down. The problem would persist for about 5-10 mins and then the line would re-connect. Ive tried with 2 modems and the problem is the same. However when i used the same modems at another location, everything worked fine and the line hasnt disconnected for 48 hours+. I also noticed that the disconnects occur at particular times, eg 12pm, 4pm, 12midnite etc. I am too lazy at the moment to call tmnut coz they just send u thru their usual "troubleshooting" and tell then u its ur problem . But worst to worst i will call them. So can any1 help? thanks

using damaged gc

joe_star — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 17:16:20 +0800

Hi. My specs are as in my signature. At the moment I'm planning to get a new card in a few weeks and am stuck with this damaged card. There are artifacts and windows wont boot when i install the driver. I know the card is half-dead coz lastime the heatsink came lose and i didnt notice for about a week Anyway, it works quite ok without the driver installed and artifacts are minimal at desktop(minimal enough for me to type all this ). So I just want to know wether running this card for the next week or 2 could damage my other components? Input from sifus will be much appreciatd

Computer Hangup During "Verify DMI Pool Data"

joe_star — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:49:15 +0800

My specs are as in my signature at the bottom. Recently while overclocking I tried using a different multiplier rather than the usual "AUTO". However when I reached windows it still set the multiplier at 9.5X instead of 9X which i had selected in the bios. I am using CrystalCPU but I had disabled it at this time. After that I restarted and tried another multiplier. This time the computer just froze at the screen "Update DMI Pool Data. K8 NPT Data change...... Update new data to DMI!" I couldnt even use the reset button and had to turn the power off and on back. This time the comp didnt boot at all. Then I reset the CMOS jumper and it booted again. Now this problem happends whenever I use any other multiplier except for AUTO(9.5X). Any ideas on what could be the problem? Ive done some research and is it smth to do with my bios? Or could it be hardware related? Thanks.
