My problem:
My LAN connection keeps dropping. Will run for a while but then the
connection just kicks out. Sometimes it will reset by itself, other
times I must reset the modem. Left idle no disconnection until I start
to download data.
My setup:
Mainboard GA-K8NS ultra 939
CPU Venice AMD 64 3000
PS Enermax 400 watt
Vid ATI Radeon 9700
Mem 2 x 512MB PC 3200 Samsung
Optical CDR/CRW
Optical DVD writer
HD 1 x 80 GB Maxtor
2 120cm Case fans
Floppy
Solutions taken to trouble shoot problem:
1. ISP Tech support checks cable and modem - okay
2. Hook cable and modem up to second computer - okay
3. Exchanged motherboard - same problem
4. Update mainboard bios and lan drivers
4. Disable Marvel Yukon Lan (onboard) and insert 3com pci nic - same
problem but not as frequent.
- so I assume that its not a nic issue.
- could it be an IRQ conflic? No IRQs seem to be shared.
- compatabilty issue with video card
- lastly a power supply issue
Adding up all my periferals the recommended minimum power supply
rating should be 258 Watts. At present my 3.3v rail 3.34-3.45 (okay)
and my 12v rail 11.98 - 12.40 (okay).
So any ideas?
Frustrated.
