62616 2002-07-24 07:27:00 yes, the 761 chipset fixed all problems, where my old chipset was a kt266a

what happened was i sent the pc back to the seller, they replaced the motherboard and then sent it back to me. i'm not sure of price differences between the two motherboards, but the supplier should tell you if you ask. if the new one is cheaper than the old one you should be entitled to a refund (as a bonus). of course, if the new motherboard is more expensive then you may be asked to pay the difference.

i would advise you to take the whole pc back to the supplier, demonstrate the problems while you are there (if possible). then tell them of the advice you have recieved on pressf1 and ask them to test the different sort of motherboard.
all this will be free under warranty.

good luck

62619 2002-07-30 02:35:00 What a nerve. Look Tim - if you read what I posted in reply to your questions I gave you plenty of help. Or don't you remember that? You wanted to know where to find CS maps - I told ya. Had problems with Windows, I made suggestions. Decided to insult another user by calling him a foul name? I told you it was unacceptable. Decided to insult someone else (luckily in a six-month old post), I gave you a second warning. Acted like a jerk the third time and I deleted your account.

I gave you 3 warnings about inappropriate behaviour before deleting your account. If you want to stick around and be pleasant then great, but why go out of your way to insult me? I like others tried to help you and you were rude and insulting. So let's just drop the insults and be pleasant shall we?

I told you the rules last time round. In case you don't get it, this forum is run by IDG Communications Ltd, publishers of PC World magazine. I am an employee of IDG Communications Ltd, and with regards to this forum I am one of the people who trys to keep it running and friendly. That means you will not insult people. It isn't too much to ask now is it?
