OK, thanks for the info.

Why would anyone want to play an older version?

What does this mean and why can't I join a game that uses it?

There is also Protocol version 43. I am sure there are others too. I am just beginning to find them out.

i will do that.

if it has, you could take the side off for a few days to see if that helps.

It has not crashed since I unchecked the "auto restart" in system and recovery. So I haven't been able to post any errors....yet.

And I have the sides off all the time.

Keep in mind, the temps reported by the motherboard are not entirely accurate. They can be off by quite a few degrees. Some boards show higher temps than others for the same CPU at the same speed & voltage. But it probably still is on the warm side. I don't think those temps are high enough to ...

The cpu is an Athlon xp1700 and the motherboard is a Shuttle AK38N

Check which temp is the highest. Thats the CPU temp. Post it here. At idle and after playing q3 for 10 mins. u can also see a graph in that program. the temp at icle was 58. then after about 20 minutes of quake it went up to 64. by the time i finished this reply its gone down to 61. what temp shoul...

Yes, Speedfan

I got that program running and checking out the temps and fan speeds. I don't know what temps I should be at in order to make fan adjustments. If I even can with my motherboard.

thanks

Tormentius, Yes, i do have a router. I also have turned on the firewall. I d/l memtest and ran it for over a 1/2 hour and found no errors or problems with the memory. If the power supply is going bad I guess I just have to wait until it dies then replace it. I also turned off the auto-restart, but o...

the system temp is 32. the cpu temp is 61. the fan speed is about 4200rpm. the shutdown temp is set at 75.

A 3D game likes quake3?

ok thanks, i will do that.

since it doesn't reboot all the time it may take awhile to determine whether this works or not. but i'll keep posting.

no sp2 is not installed.

so i should install and turn on my firewall?
i'm using an anti-virus program so i'm pretty sure i dont have a virus, I can't be sure.

I'm running XP pro. No the internet connection firewall is not enabled.

I was having trouble with programs having errors and closing. My computer would just re-boot itself on ocasion. So after spending alot of time trying to fix the problem I just reformatted and wiped it out, started over. I don't seem to have the error problems anymore, but the comp still re-boots. So...

i'm going to take the 266 sticks out and replace them with the 333

I have 512mbs of 266mhz pc2100 DDR memory. I want to change to 1024mbs of 333mhz pc2700 DDR. I know my motherboard is capable of that. My question do I need to change anything in the bios or will it detect the new RAM correctly, and change the clock by itself?

it does give an explanation, but i have no idea what it means.

isn't that user interface error due to not having the latest point release as well?

ok i see the application error for quake and IE as well as some others . some of them specify what faulting programs have the error. others just say "faulting bucket" whatever that means. they all have to do with the internet, whether its quake or IE or msn. here is one example "fault...
