hey,

after you run the 4 hours, try cleaning up some spyware in your comp.
not sure whether you have tried this... do some registry cleaning too using CCleaner...

good luck :)

i dont know about that, see, it's newly installed on a formatted drive, anyways of course i'll try it but i dont think it'll help...
anyone think the clue might be with the screen turning on after 10 sec's from me pressing the ON butten?

or perhaps i did'nd use enough paste?

If the GFX card is made by LeadTek/WinFast then there's your problem as they count their VRAM before POSTing and on the Mesh it can take a while for the monitor to switch on.

although i did'nt get a word out of this:
"as they count their VRAM before POSTing and on the Mesh it can take a while for the monitor to switch on"
nothing i can do right?

yeah, try that... *cross fingers*
I can't think of any other problem...

after you re-install windows, make sure you update all the drivers...
sound, video, etc... update your BIOS too, it might need it... not sure though

GCR:
"If the GFX card is made by LeadTek/WinFast then there's your problem as they count their VRAM before POSTing and on the Mesh it can take a while for the monitor to switch on"

i've checked the BIOS and there it says.....
3.40 GHZ
800 MHz
533 MHz
weird...cuz it still says in windows
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
3.40 GHZ, 1.00 GB of RAM
Physical Address Extension
what should i do??!!
anyway the comp is still slow!!!

i've loaded the default on the BIOS and re-inserted the BIOS jumpper
and the USB still isn't working!

i've read that my RAM might not be "comfertable" woth my board...
what do you think?

I doubt it, all Leadtek cards do it and my old FX5200 spent a while on it's own BIOS screen...

The 3.40GHz is your clock speed, 800MHz will be your FSB and the 533MHz will be the RAM's clock speed.
