Not able to boot after made changes to BIOS

Not able to boot after made changes to BIOS

bobtiang — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:25:53 +0800

hi folks,

recently setup my P5Q3 with Q9300, i migrate some of my HDD and optical drive from my old system to this one.

I encounter this problem when i change the boot device order or i made changes to the FSB in the BIOS, after made changes we will choose "Save & Exit" and system should restart and boot like normal until into Windows rite?

but the problem is everytime i leave BIOS after making changes, it looks like it wanna reboot, screen goes dark, then it will just stay there with the monitor showing Analog & Digital switching back and forth.

even a hard shutdown or restart button wont make it boot like normal. I need to switch off the powe supply button (cut off any power into MOBO) for like 30 secs then only it will be able to boot in. I think when i cut off the power, it actually clear the CMOS?

what is the problem here?? please advice...

convert to INT when export to excel

bobtiang — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:38:21 +0800

hi folks, this is regarding export of data record from MS Reporting Services 2005 to excel.
the export button is there and there are predefined export options (excel, pdf, CSV..)

now, i have the dataset prepared for the report content, and i just return the field to the report body.
and the field return from the stored proc, dataset is type of INT

but, once export to excel. it is converted automatically into string. refer below error in excel

[attachmentid=753986]

and due to this, i wont be able to do custom filter with digit like ">100" because that colum is a string cell now.

any idea?

.NET Export to Excel

bobtiang — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 12:02:00 +0800

hi Guys,
need some ideas or references on generating Excel from .NET.
currently I had the data load into DataGrid and then just bind to the excel using vbscript.

here's the code am using.

CODE

With sbScript
.Append("<script language=vbscript> ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" Dim sHTML ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" sHTML = document.all.item(""dgTemp"").outerhtml ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" Dim oXL, oBook ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append("Set oXL = CreateObject(""Excel.Application"") ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append("Set oBook = oXL.Workbooks.Add ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oBook.HTMLProject.HTMLProjectItems(""Quantity"").Text = sHTML ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oBook.HTMLProject.RefreshDocument() ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Cells.Select() ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Selection.Locked = False ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Selection.FormulaHidden = False ")
.Append(vbCrLf)

'Locking Excel Column
'----------------------------------------------------------------------

.Append(" oXL.Columns(""A:H"").Select() ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Columns(""E"").Hidden = True ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 36 ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Rows(""1:1"").Select() ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 37 ")
.Append(vbCrLf)

'----------------------------------------------------------------------

.Append(" oXL.Range(""A1"").Select() ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.Visible = True ")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" oXL.UserControl = True")
.Append(vbCrLf)
.Append(" </SCRIPT>")
.Append(vbCrLf)

lblVBScript.Text = .ToString
End With

now problem come when some users can't download the excel from their machine, all IE setting confirm allow activeX and others which are required. even a simple VBScript, msg box also cannot run on the machine. and asking hundreds of user to rebuild system is impossible.

so, am thinking a way which has less dependent on user machine (browser setting).
note that there is no excel app. on the server, so server side approach to create and send to user is out.

please enlighten me. thanks

CPU Water Cooling

bobtiang — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 18:22:16 +0800

Guys, you have to check this one out.
Especially those who know CPU, water cooling.. this might be a little long, but i tell you, sure laugh till you roll...
read the replies as well to laugh your head off...

----------------------------

I decided this weekend to try and quiten my PC by following some other members lead and going down the water cooling road. The fans on my PC were really starting to drive me mad

The first thing that I did was to remove all the fans. The one on the processor and graphics card were no problem but the one in the power unit was a bugger to get out.

The most difficult part was sealing all the ventilitation openings in the PC case with silicon. I also put silicon all around the joints on the PC case. The smell of silicon was dreadful but when my wife complained I told her to be patent as it will be worth it when we have a completely silent PC.

Because I had completely sealed the PC case the only opening near top was the DVD drive. So I opened that and put the small hose I had purchased specially for the job into the DVD drive as far as it would go. With what I can only describe as great excitement and anticipation, I turned on the water. It really is amazing just how long it took before the case was complete full, and boy was it heavy. That didn't really bother me as I didn't intend to be moving the PC anyway.

The big moment had arrived so I called in my wife and mother in law (who was visiting) and I announced "prepare to hear nothing!" and flicked the switch on the socket on the wall.

Before I could even press the power button on front of the PC, with a loud bang, the whole place was plunged into darkness

I knew that it was only the tripswitch so I told my onlookers not to panic and I ran out to the hall to turn the trip switch back on. But can u believe it, it wouldn't stay on. After five attempts I decided to try unplugging the PC and would you believe...yes the trip switch stayed on. My conclusion: the PC must have in some way been causing the problem.

After about an hour of tries I finally decided to abandon the whole idea of water cooling and emptied the water out of the PC, put back in the fans (except the fan in the power unit, I had broken that one getting it out) and tried the pc AGAIN. IT STILL CAUSED THE TRIP SWTICH TO BLOW!

My PC is completely shagged thanks to stupid suggestions that I got on this forum. What the hell am I going to do now. I spent two hours last night with a hair drier inside the PC case and it still trips the switch.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Smart Dog

bobtiang — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 15:57:59 +0800

A young boy goes off to college, but about
1/3 way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered
the money his parents gave him.

Then he gets an idea. He calls his daddy. "Dad," he
says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern education
are coming up with! Why, they actually have a program here
that will teach Ole Blue how to talk!"

"That's absolutely amazing!" his father says. "How do
I get him in That program?"

"Just send him down here with $1000," the boy says,
"I'll get him into the course."

So, his father sends the dog and the $1000. About 2/
3 way through the semester, the money runs out. The boy
calls his father again.

"So how's Ole Blue doing, son?" his father asks.

"Awesome, dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but
you just won't believe this! They've had such good results
with this program, that they've implemented a new one to
teach the animals how to READ!"

"READ," says his father, "No kidding! What do I have
to do to get him in that program?"

"Just send $1,500, I'll get him in the class."

His father sends the money.

The boy has a problem. At the end of the year, his
father will find out that the dog can neither talk nor read.
So he shoots the dog.

When he gets home, his father is all excited.
"Where's Ole Blue? I Just can't wait to see him talk and
read something!"

"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. This
morning, when I got out of the shower, Ole Blue was in the
living room kicking back in the recliner, reading the
morning paper, like he usually does. Then he turned to me
and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messin' around with that
little redhead who lives on Oak Street?"

The father says, "I hope you SHOT that damned dog
before he talks to your Mother!"
I sure did, Dad!"

"That's my boy."
