I'm pretty sure it's my MOBO, BUT everything seems to work fine under W2K and XP Pro, so before I RMA my MOBO I want to make sure it is my MOBO.
A little history: Most likely my MOBO killed a SB PCI128 within a month, I used to be able to install my capture card, but now I can't get it to work anymore (Card is fine as it works on my other rig). I also had problems installing a Fortissimo III (7.1), after a restart it said: found new hardware....blah blah blah...and I was back to square one.
Problems:
1) My system hangs for no apparent reason, first I thought it was the digital cable between my DVD drive and S-Card, but now it seems to hang w/o the cable as well.
2) My system hangs when I do a restart, first I thought it was the nVidia drivers as it always happened after I installed them. But today I found out that it's my (or ANY, I've tried a 3Com and a Sitecom) NIC that causes my system to hang.
3) Sometimes I don't have to log on, it just goes straight into windows, but I'm able to browse the web and connect to my other rig.
4) I can't acces my floppy drive under any OS except for DOS (Might have to do with the Floppy drive, as I bought it for $2.50), It asks me if I want to format the floppy? (Will try it on my other rig).
Things I've already tried:
1) Different PCI slots...no go.
2) Reinstalled the OS (3 times since yesterday)...no go.
3) Other NIC (See above)....no go.
4) With and W/O digital cable (See above)....no go.
Could it be my BIOS? (I doubt it, but I'm using the X86-Secret.com BIOS).
BTW: I left my rig F@H last night, and it was still running this morning, it seems that I can't use Explorer for some reason.
Oh, It's the TUSL2-C in my sig, and I'm running Win ME. (DO NOT start bashing ME, as I never had those problems with ME before using the same hardware except for the MOBO and S-Card).
Mmmmmmm, I disconnected the cable and so far it didn't hang...now it looks like my S-Card is causing the problem again.
NOTE: I should get an Abit ST6 RAID by Friday or Saturday, so we'll see if it's my MOBO, but for now I would like some opinions, suggestions and above all solutions
TIA
*EDIT* I also had a problem with Microsoft Direct Streaming Clock orso, after most things worked fine I did a restart, then I had a question mark in Hardware manager (Under gaming/sound devices)...It did say Microsoft Direct Streaming Clock once, but when I looked again it couldn't tell me anything about the hardware????, I removed it from the list hoping it would install properly after a restart...nothing, not even a question mark???
