DFI LanParty nF4 Overclocking
AnandTech: OCZ VX Memory + DFI nForce4 = DDR533 at 2-2-2. I finally got the system working. I was getting all kinds of blue screens saying things like “Accessing illegal memory.” The issue is the nVidia Network Manager which everyone on web says that this thing is very unrealiable. I just used ZoneAlarm. Looking at…

pci.sys corrupt
Computing.Net – pci.sys – Missing/broken 🙁. Been steadily going from my Windows SP1 up to SP2, installed the latest nVidia drivers on the DFI LanParty. Boy, was that a mistake, the thing won’t boot now and the boot system reports, missing pci.sys. To get this back, you need to find a Windows XP original CD…

DFI LanParty nF4 Active Armor
Sigh, problem after problem. Installed the various drivers, ignoring the Maxtor problem right now. Now the Ethernet controller is on and see the DHCP host and I get an address, but mysteriously, I can’t access the Internet. Ugh. This seems to be a problem with the builtin nVidia firewall. Incredibly, when you boot it, it…

DFI LanParty nF4 Ultra D and Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300 bugs
Some folks at “Hard Forum”:http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1028319389#post1028319389 think the issue is that Newegg (where I buy my drives) doesn’t pack them properly. Get them from ZipZoomFly or Hypermicro is the recommendation. Sage words about packing, maybe that’s why so many of my drives fail? “DFI Street”:http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9496&page=1&pp=20&highlight=maxtor+16MB reports that it is a problem with the Maxtor DiamondMax 10…

DFI Lanparty boots!
Wow, I had almost given up hope on the DFI LanParty nF4, but amazingly, somehow it has come back to life. It must have been the CMOS reset. The recommendation is to take the battery out for a day. I didn’t plug the CMOS jumper in right and then I flipped the 5V dRAM voltage…

Quiet 120mm fans
Tong Family Blog: Gigantic Fan. Well, I finally put the XP-120 into a machine and it was indeed big. Still need a bunch of 120mm gigantic fans.

Bluetooth Headset on Windows XP SP2
WindowsDevCenter.com: Getting Your Bluetooth Headset to Work in XP. _Argh, I have a bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth adapter, but it won’t work with the default driver in SP2._ The problem with the Bluetooth stack built into Windows XP SP 2 is that it has limited support for profiles. In particular, it does not support…

DFI LanParty nF4 Ultra dead?
DFI Forums – NF4 Ultra-D – Ultra D: Leds of Death Once Again…. Well, I got a brand new 600 watt power supply and the thing is still dead. The LED standby power light goes on, but nothing happens when I push either power button. I also see the DRAM light is off.
