I have been using WHS on ACER Aspire Home Server for backups and multimedia storage. The Network adapter appears to have died and unable to access the server from my home network. Has anyone had a similar occurrence, and what was your fix? Can a usb network adapter be used to access the...

RMA process...submitted the RMA request online and they approved it in less than a day-- sent the old board, took them about a day or two to confirm/validate the issue-- I received notification the new board was shipping 7 days after requesting the RMA-- not too bad.

Sorry for the long delay...forgot to update this thread-- the culprit was the mobo chipset-- I RMA'd it and the new board worked fine...no problems now... Thansk to all who assisted

thanks for the help...I'm going to swap the origianl components back in and RMA the mobo.

the POST summary screen identifies the CPU and the DDR2 correctly, the BIOS hardware monitor is sensing the cooler fan okay (RPM's indicated) and the CPU temp is not abnormal 25-30C on startup and begins increasing slowly...but hte rig still shuts down for no apparent reason. THis time it took...

good question...its just a no-name I had lying around from some old builds---thought about buying an upgrade, but was trying to minimze $$ spent for this little upgrade-- all I bought was the mobo and DDR2 ($115 total), everything else was on my 'extra stuff' shelf. @ blkhogan-- good idea...

didn't get that far yet...haven't let it boot to windows yet...I'm in trying to configure the BIOS and it just shuts down while I'm setting it up...still haven't been able to fully review all settings, let alone set them how I want them.

having issues keeping the upgrade running...some of the backstory: perfectly fine rig for the wife...she's been using it about 3 years now for general internet and email, but it takes about 12 minutes to start & load everything (WinXP SP3, MS Office 2007) to get to email-- she wanted faster...

thanks to all who posted...I reset BIOS to reference values and system booted up fine...

System used to work fine. I just rearranged my office, and when I hooked up my rig (AMD 940X4, MSI DKA790GX mobo, dual HD 5770, Corsair 650W PSU, 4GB RAM running WinXP Pro SP3), the system gives me a warning that system did not shutdown correctly - do I want to start windows normally or safemode...

Looking to upgrade my 802.11g wireless router to 802.11n. I've been using Negear 108 Super G router for about 4 years with very little to complain about- it appears the WNDR3700-100NAS is their current top end, but Newegg has it for sale like its a closeout :wtf...

When i try to install on by office computer, it gets a fail just before completing..I have evga 9600GT and Precision 1.0.2 installed already... doesn't the update run with a previous version installed?

Merry Christmas..thanks for all the info y'all shared. :toast:

I read another article online testing the 4770's in X-fire and OCing them using GPU-Z if I remember correctly---flippin' $220 graphics setup held it's own or beat GeForce 280!...that's when I started looking for the premium cooler design a little more...if the smaller cooler OCing can get that...

was poking around on XFX europe website and found pics of this cooler on the HD4770 page with card that is currently for sale with the smaller cooler....small cooler card SKU is HD477AYDLC and the SKU for premium cooler is HD477AYDFC...evidently it has not been released as the XFX website does...
