Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Onboard or PCI card? Try a different slot if PCI. Are you able to connect to the LAN and not the Internet? If you haven't done so already, reset everything and see what happens.
Not the answers I wanted to hear. LOL. Sounds like your mobo or processor is possibly on its way out. Use the Asus Probe and look at what your voltages and temps are doing.
Edit: Damn. It is late and my grammar sucks. Time for bed.
I'll second Home Depot or Lowes for cable. It's like 11 cents a foot or so for Cat5e. I did 3 rooms in my old house for ~$20 or so. You can get a good crimp tool online for $15 also.
Just for future reference...another good format tool is autoclave. I use it for almost every format I do. It doesn't take very long, it works well, it's free and extremely simple to use. Good luck.
Like stated above. When you see people post numbers like 2-2-2-6 or 3-4-4-7, they are refering to the memory timing. You can adjust these in the BIOS. The numbers each represent something different. They refer to: CAS Latency - RAS to CAS Delay - RAS Precharge - Active to Precharge.

How secure do you need the folder to be? Are you just trying to hide pr0n or something? You can make folders hidden. The average user will never find it. Right click the folder, then change it to hidden under properties. Then go to tools>folder options>view tab>click "do not show hidden...
My brother and I have similar hardware and very close processor speed at stock clock. I have a 36GB Raptor and he has a 7200RPM WD 60GB drive. My PC loads XP Pro much faster than his loads XP Home. I don't mind restarting because it only takes 20 seconds or so to reboot. My old PC took at...
I have a similar setup to you. Just run the best timings possible with the RAM. I currently have my ram at 2-2-2-6. Kingston rates the RAM at 3-4-4-7. I currently have my FSB at 231. That puts my processor at 3.0 with the 1:1 ratio. No errors or heating problems. I could go further with...
Very true...my parents house finally has it available. I signed them up earlier this week. I have had high speed for 5 years now other than living at home during summers away from college. I have no complaints with the current status of Internet speeds.
