Not all of Pentium 4 2.8E is 800MHz with HT... blush.gif

A Pentium 4 2.8E with HT is a very rare occasion... tongue.gif

There's a lot of 2.8E, but 75% of em is 533MHz which doesn't come with HT technology... laugh.gif

E always refer to HT enabled cpu w/ Prescott core

it's Prescott 533 with HT that is *rare* and highly overclockable

Then what do we call 2.8 Prescott with 533MHz fsb as?

2.8A?
2.8B? blink.gif

There's two assumptions here:

1) There's a part that is extremely hot...
2) You're bios is corrupted - need to flash a new bios

This is my com spec:
P4 2.8 E
DFI 865 PE-AL
1G ddr ram
1 cd rom
1 cd-rw
ati 9200se
300W acbel pure power
Most probably is which part heated? Which it caused by not enough psu? Or mb spoilt adi?
*
I don't know, you have to check the temperature...
Hey wait, i didn't say that anything is extremely overheated, what i've said earlier is, they are just assumptions... sweat.gif

I think you're 300W true power Acbel psu, is more than enough to power up you're system as you are running everything in stock...

No oc, not a lot of hardwares also, so 300W True Power is more than enough... wink.gif

Why don't u try flashing the bios for you're motherboard to the newest version?
It might help you know... wink.gif

How to find the mb version? My one is dfi 865PE-AL. Rev A or Rev B? I din c any rev at my mb. Please helpl.
It means i can flash my bios inside win by using winflash?

By referring to my thumbnail. the ver of bios in my com is newer if compared to the one given in the web. How?
*
Use CPUz... wink.gif

Or PCWizard could help... thumbup.gif

About flashing bios in windows, yes, it can be done, but be worry though, as the pc needs to be free at all, what i meant was, u have to make sure that's there are zero programs running at the background...

As if something goes wrong [if there are other program running in background] you're board is toasted...

About the newest version, just try it, who knows that it'll help you in covering the auto restart problem... thumbup.gif

But i am not sure that it'll help you in solving the non-eject optical drive...

Why don't u try reflashing the firmware of the optical drive too? icon_rolleyes.gif

Wah..wat hsf u use? wat mb u use? I am using dfi 865PE-AL wif scythe ninja plus. My idle temp is 47C and full load is 60-63C. Wat software u use to chk? I chk using speedfan v4.31 n compared wif bios the temp different. Bios temp higher 1-3C.

Different board, reports different temperature reading as different boards uses different temperature sensoring chip...

No wonder there's some differences in degrees between a lot of boards...

But, talk about the temperature differences between u and cklim85 temperature, that's 10 degrees lower... sweat.gif

Yeah cklim85, what kind of heatsink and motherboard do u use? rclxub.gif

Shit. look at those dusts... they look like some fungus or something. Totally no air-flow. No wondr my temp is sooo high - much higher than stock HSF
user posted image

Worry no more. Everything has been cleaned. New AS5 applied. Howver the rig is w/o the video card (soon to arrive x800xt PE), so no readings at all. perhaps will reconfigure fan placement to reduce this gunks

What the... sweat.gif rclxub.gif laugh.gif
Didn't u take any pictures after cleaning up? tongue.gif

Sure need a powerful vacuum to clean up that heatsink... laugh.gif

Woh, X800XT PE for you're system?
Nice... thumbup.gif

although many experts disagree, i still use the same heavy duty normal vaccum cleaner

experts warn of static electric shock that may damage electronic components from using vaccum cleaner

verdict: 3 yrs and counting - no static death at all

Same goes to me, i've used that kind of method to clean my heatsink a lot of times, and up until today, nothing happen liao... thumbup.gif

But, the best way to clean a heatsink is to use a Jet Spray [Water Spray] the one that people use to clean those tar that is on the lower part of the car...

The strength of the jet spray will help you clean all those dust to zero point... thumbup.gif

today i face one problem of bios.... When I restart com today...cmos checksum error cum out...it says default loaded...so i press F1...What is the problem? It happen a few times. Is it my time to flash my bios

There's two assumptions...

1) You're bios is corrupted which means you have to flash the bios
2) Ther CMOS battery is weak which means you have to replace the battery with a new one

Try flashing the bios to the newest version first, who knows that it might help...

If that won't do any good, try replacing the CMOS battery with a new one... wink.gif

if ur mobo comes with BIOS recovery disc then u could use it to boot the system again and re-flash the bios....

basically there is no specific application that needed to be closed unless ur flashing tool requires it ...

i would also interested of getting the replacement battery ... anyone kind to help ....
*
Bro, the replacement battery can get at any hardware shop la... sweat.gif

Some kedai runcit also sells that kind of battery...

Just remember this model number of battery:

The model number is: CR2032 wink.gif

No need to think of the brand, as all brands of battery also use this model number for the battery that we use for the CMOS battery...

Remember the model number well...

It's CR2032 cool.gif

Although in practical it can but actually it is not recommended to use vaccum as it will create static charge ... which indirectly will incur short circuit  sweat.gif

furthermore if u are really careful with ur hardware u aren't even suppose to use bare hand to touch ur pcb board.... wearing cloth is always recommended...

But...
I've used that method times and times before liao...

Nothing happen leh? laugh.gif
