Yeah, ChainSAW support s*cks as do many of their boards. :-) That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. "Entering the BIOS violates the warranty"???????? Sounds like something Dell or Gateway would pull! (Sorry, don't use XP). -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes Clint, I remembered it about half a second after I sent it too :/ So the slotket works properly and the cpu is running at the right speed. The reason I had difficulty stemmed from the OEM who put together the machine in the first place, they had put a password on the BIOS but failed to give it to the customer. After calling their support staff they informed us that entering the BIOS violates the warranty, plus they recommended a different mobo as a possible fix. Check off another large firm I WILL NOT RECOMMEND, the nerve of some people. So now XP home edition comes up with an error: "A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x80070007", at the logon screen. In Safe Mode it just loops at the login screen. MS and other sites recommend editing the registry which I cannot reach outside of using ERD Commander which allows the registry to be edited, just not sub tree's I need. A nice catch-22 :( As an added feature, no version of XP will run to repair the installation, the only alternative is to wipe it fresh and start clean. One of many reason's why installing XP is a pain. So if anyone might suggest an alternative, I would really appreciate it.
