Downgrade To Xp

03 December 2010 - 01:18 AM

I have another toshiba satelite giving me problems. I read that many people have downgraded vista to xp. Every single page i go to the links are expired.
from wht i read i think i am going to need nlite and put the drivers for the sata drive on the windows xp install cd. The problem i am having is that toshiba website is broken and no links for any laptop will download.
I also read that i need to flash the bios to the xp bios they have listed before atempting.

if anyone could help me locate the links or send them to me for the bios and drivers for sata drive i would really appreciate it

Sata Drivers?

13 May 2010 - 04:50 PM

I have installed sata drivers on many machines before yet this laptop is giving me the biggest headache ever. I search and search for drivers for it to install win xp on it i do not want to bring it back to vista or install win7 on it. The model is a Satellite A205-S5000. I have read on other sites that i can get drivers from intel and they will work maybe i am using the wrong ones but when it goes to add them it causes a blue screen cause the drivers were bad.
any help would be appreciated.

hypertransport sync flood error

02 January 2010 - 04:30 PM

Most times when i go to play a game suddenly i get a reboot of the pc. When it boots back up it does not start and says hypertransport sync flood error has ocured on last boot press F1 to continue. Some times before it happens i get some audio freezing then screen freeze and it reboots. I have tryed many differant bios versions but that makes it so i cant boot at all. I can get into safe mode after every time but it can be a pain to get back into windows the regular way. Any idea on what is causeing this google has given me no answers.

air vs water

24 December 2009 - 03:51 AM

What would be the best bang for the buck air or liquid cooling? Will i see a huge differance in liquid cooling comapred to air? I can already safely clock my cpu to 3.7 and stay stable. Seems like alot can go wrong down the line with liquid cooling but i could be wrong need someone with more experience.

I am looking for a better way to cool my cpu down. Here is my specs.
Does AM2 and AM2+ heatsinks fit all AM3 motherboards?
Will I have to completely take apart my pc to put a new back plate on or will the one on the back now work fro mostly anything?
I have only used the clip on ones that were after market for amd ibeleive it was the artic cool freezer 64 pro but not in my machine and never tested temps.
Also whats better for thermal compound Artic silver 5 or OCZ freeze.

power supply G5

21 November 2009 - 12:04 AM

Is it possible to test a mac G5 power supply with a power supply tester. I am not very sure on how macs work at all. The mac will not turn on and shows no form of life. All caps on motherboard are looking to be good. Any advice would be appreciated.
