Diabolicum.. Shut the hell up, the grown ups are talking.. Joe has already stated (if you had read the post properly): I shutted down the PC with the on-/off switch on the front side. Then I deleted (erased) the CMOS by changing the JBAT-1 jumper (including waiting some minutes). After resetting the...

Hi Papa.. Thanks for coming back with the info requested. I've been digging arond on the MS knowledge base and have managed to find a reference to the very error message you are experiencing. It seems that some drivers have a problem with Vista (and older incarnations of Windows for that matter) wit...

You're more than welcome my friend..

Hi Papa.. I think the reason you haven't had a reply yet is because you need to be a little more specific with what exactly is happening with your machine. I think I'm probably not alone with the 'what the hell is the big blue wall' bit. Are you getting the dreaded BSOD (in Vista???) Come back and l...

Hello Fazermate.. It is a popular misconception that SATA and SATA2 are different technologies. SATA is the acronym that is used to describe the next 'step-up' from the old IDE (or PATA) system of connecting drive units. SATA is often quoted as SATA 150 and SATA2 is often quoted as SATA 300 (althoug...

Just as a footnote to this, cos there's already been top advice offered by two of the top contributors on this forum, the fact that you are getting the 'beeps' is good news in some ways. Good news because it means that your mobo is still functioning. The advice offered by Tenchiten and bubblegum is ...

Hmmm..

Another one who can't be bothered to ready 'stickys'..

tsk tsk..

Hi Stewart.. The information you have supplied in that last post is exactly what I needed to ascertain which type of memory you need for your PC. See the following link for more information from Micro Direct. You can probably find memory cheaper elsewhere, but as an online retailer, you really can't...

By the way Stuart, you mentioned 'Graphics Card' in the subject of this thread but don't elaborate.

What advice do you need about your graphics card?

Hi Stewart. Digging around a bit on the FS website with your serial number didn't tell me anything at all about your machines mother board. It only told me: SCALEO P /MB µATX/CEL D330/256MB/CDRW/ The 'MB µATX' bit only tells me that you have a mobo that conforms to the 'micro ATX' standard. That dos...

Hi Allan.. If you are looking for 'support' you are best contacting the FS support team. See this link: http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/com/support/helpdesk.html This is a forum of users helping users. If you have not had a reply to your original post, then it simply means that no-one who has rea...

Does your mobo have the 945P or 945G or better chipset? If not, you are limited to the Pentium D procesor family. Even the 'top of the range' Pentium D960 3.6 will only run on a 945 or better chipset mobo. As I mentioned, Core 2 Duo is not an option for you unless you upgrade your mobo. The Core 2 D...
