I recently built a pc about 2 mos ago.It consist of an ASUS P5A motherboard,AMD K6-2 400 procesor,128 MB sdram,Creative 48x cd rom,HP 8110 cd writer,Intel I740 video,US Robotics 56k voice,data,fax modem,creative labs pci 512 sound card,maxtor 8.4 gig HD,Epson 640 printer. when i first put it together,i didn't have the cd burner,USR modem,&ccreative sound card.I had this cheap hawking 56k modem,ensoniq audio pci sound card,&hp 7200i burner.First i added the new hp burner-nothing but trouble(buffer underruns like crazy)&it still don't work right next i added the US Robotics modem-locks up online,won't upload files using ICQ,wouldn't even send a reply back to USR for troubleshooting. then i added the sound card-seems to be working ok for now But now my printer is acting up-the light blinks,and when it is printing it prints a couple of lines,stops for about 5 to 10 seconds,and keeps doing it until it is finished. I've wiped out the HD and started over twice,but i still have problems.Could it be the motherboard?i find it funny all these new devices can have all these problems.any kind of help would be very greatly appreciated,as i feel like the guy on the ZDTV commercial,and want to run this thing over with my car.LOL please help,thanks,chad |
