Comments on: Stupid Camera Trick http://pablo.averbuj.com/2006/12/22/stupid-camera-trick Things I think are cool that probably aren't Tue, 07 Sep 2010 01:24:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: 3R http://pablo.averbuj.com/2006/12/22/stupid-camera-trick/comment-page-1#comment-693 3R Thu, 28 Dec 2006 17:00:41 +0000 http://pablo.averbuj.com/?p=105#comment-693 Do the hardware check AND Memtest. First start without any ISA/PCI devices and only one strip of memory. Boot up, if there isn't a problem, replace strip of memory with the next, etc... still no problem... Add soundcard and put in all memory strips, then if problem isn't there.. next ISA/PCI card. Of course, never count on MoBo internal stuff like integrated sound/video/LAN/gameport, etc. Then also get a PCI USB hub inside your system instead of using the MoBo ones. ;) Anyways, if the problem occurs then it's the device that you put in last that caused the problem. Solutions: Firmware updates for your hardware OR install a *nix OS and dump Windows. Don't bother with Mac too much, unless you're planning on running it on an Intel proc, as that now runs Mac osX faster than on a Mac itself. Do the hardware check AND Memtest.
