[QUOTE="Big Dummy, post: 27550, member: 16677"] lcdguy: You asked: "the chipset on your motherboard is it a VIA or something else?" First off, I'm clueless about motherboards (and many other things), so I'm not even sure what VIA is. I seen that link in the support section, but still am not sure how to tell. The mobo is a Intel Lexington II and I searched Intel but didn't find anyway to tell. Also, I found something on Google (wish I'd saved the URL) about updating BIOS and motherboards, several people talked about updating and how it could cause problems. Anyway, I went ahead and put in my Gateway Recovery CD which has an option to update system drivers (i.e., mobos, my integrated NIC, modem, etc.) and updated to the latest drivers. Afterwards, I had some problems while installing the software for my scanner and my UPS. Searched Google again and found something about the new .NET Framework 2.0 and how it how been causing problems. Uninstalled it and now have version 1.0 and the 1.1 Hotfix and everything seems okay--no problems so far. You said: "also try defragmenting your HD's" When I first posted this topic, I had just got done reinstalling Windows XP Pro SP2 and have only used it to check email and browse a few sites, so I don't think a defrag is in order yet. Plus, before reinstalling Windows, I did defrag using Raxco's PerfectDisk 7.0 and that didn't solve the problem. So, could you please elaborate on VIA and how to tell if my mobo is a VIA mobo? I have Nero 6, but can't find anything in the InfoTool about the mobo type. Thanks! P.S. I'm jealous of your setup. I bought my system in March '03 from a Gateway store and didn't take the time to learn that much about RAM and other computer parts. With the new Hauppauge, the LaCie HDD, and everything else, I'm in for over $4,000. The salesman told me that RDRambus was the next greatest thing and I'd be better to opt for that instead of an P4 HT CPU. My fault for listening to a salesman, I guess. I recently checked just to see if I could find out how much an upgrade was as my system allows 2 GHZ and found it was cheaper to buy a new motherboard with DDRII RAM and even a new CPU. [/QUOTE]
