Any network card will work as long as its standard compliance includes ACPI
It will be written in the specs, just check that b-4 u buy it.

As for the pint, not required, just 1 thing in return,
You help someone else 1 time.

Then were even.

crazygamelover · #18 14-12-2003, 02:26

Well then, we are back to work here then. I will stick this out with you. We will get it working. Hopefully

1. Ok, what kind of broadband are you using? (DSL , Cable, other?) Broadband Modem brand and model number?

2. When you said you were going to shut it off and let it cool down a bit, what was hot? Was it the computer, modem, ???

3. You said the NIC is still out, do you mean pulled from the Computer or inoperative.

seaneyb2003 · #19 14-12-2003, 06:04

1. Its a cable connection. Its an ethernet converted usb thinggy ull find out after the print screens i will send u

I will email you and see if we can get you sorted on this. The hard part is already done. We have identified your problem. You are gonna need to use that NIC i think. We can try 2 things from this point. You got mail......

Grr I hate my computer i copyied everything down from what the blue screen said

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer

If this is the first time u have seen this stop. eooe screen restart your computer. if this scrren appears again follow these steps

the bios in this system is not fully acpi compliant please contact your system vendor or visit www.hardware-update.com for an updated bios if your unable to obtain an updated bios supplied by your vendor is not acpi compliant you can turn off acpi mode during text mode setup. to do this simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. the system will ont notufy you that the f7 key was pressed it will silently disable acpi and allow you to continue your installation

Technical Infomation:

*** Stop: 0x000000a5 (0x00000011,0x00000007, 0xf79a5f66,0x0100000d)

Hey Sean, I take it, that you were unsucessful at the disabling acpi. The bios upgrade was also unhelpful. I have been going round and round here to think of something we missed, but I cant think of anything, other than emachines typically a big pain in the keester.
Have you contacted your local cable internet provider and asked them if there is another form of service they can provide, or if they might know a remedy to your problem?

seaneyb2003 · #23 16-12-2003, 13:44

grr nope

its all to do with the bios now its the pheonix bios
got to get it updated im going to get it fixed as well it cost me 30 pounds around 45 dollas

crazygamelover · #24 16-12-2003, 16:00

I can relate to your frustration, as this problem has been quite a pain so far.

Hey mate, perhaps this site can help. They have a live assistant (chat) during the business day hours. Not sure what the time zone difference is but if you can get ahold of one of them, maybe they can figure this out for you. I sure hope you can get it working without putting more £££ into it.
Hang in there. Sean

crazygamelover · #25 16-12-2003, 16:10

here is another site you can try. This company offers a pre-prograamed bios.

Dern Good News Sean. Good Deal. Sorry I dont like to use the D*** word. We are suppose to watch our mouths cause you never know when a Youngin's gonna pop in and read this stuff.

Merry Christmas and by the way, BUT YOURSELF THAT PINT.

I hate it when these posts of mine end up so long but I just gotta tell someone out there. My Wife and I went to court today to finalize an adoption court proceeding and We now, as of today, Have ourselves a 2 yrs old baby GIRL. Her name is Angel Rose and.....DAMN......I'm in a good mood today.

What a Christmas this has started outm to be.
