    I think I figured out what the problem was but I’ll post it here just incase anyone is browsing the internet looking for a solution to a similar problem. It turns out that the GPU was actually getting really hot, according to HWMonitor. I noticed that the computer would never shut off if the GPU temp was below 100 degrees celsius. Every time without fail, whenever the computer shut itself off the GPU was above that temperature. I just got a new graphics card and I’ll let you guys know if the problem persists. See less

  3. If you simply want to 'see' the old legacy BIOS look, I know that some BIOS have the option so view the BIOS in the old style so you see the plain list style and go back to using the arrow keys instead of the mouse. I am not sure if all of them or yours has this feature but you can look into it.I doRead more

    If you simply want to ‘see’ the old legacy BIOS look, I know that some BIOS have the option so view the BIOS in the old style so you see the plain list style and go back to using the arrow keys instead of the mouse. I am not sure if all of them or yours has this feature but you can look into it.

    I do not see and advantage in going from GPT to MBR for the hard drives since it limits the partition size and the number of partitions (though multiple drives is getting more popular than multiple partitions these days). Also UEFI supports PCIe boot which is a good performance advantage.

    I am not sure what you are trying to achieve and why. Maybe explaining that might help with recommendations.

    You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

  4. Not sure about Bluetooth but the only reason I can imagine Adobe Reader is in msconfig startup is so that it can check for automatic updates. Updates are relatively infrequent and you can get them manually from Adobe Reader > Help > Check for Updates. Acrobat is probably similar and you shouldRead more

    Not sure about Bluetooth but the only reason I can imagine Adobe Reader is in msconfig startup is so that it can check for automatic updates. Updates are relatively infrequent and you can get them manually from Adobe Reader > Help > Check for Updates. Acrobat is probably similar and you should be able to get updates from their website.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

  5. Given those ip address its clear you don't understand NAT [network address translation]. A simple rule you need to remember. Each wan and lan subnet has to be differnet for NAT to work So if of r1 WAN is 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.254.0 than its LAN needs to be 192.168.1.1 subnet 255.25Read more

    A simple rule you need to remember.

    So if of r1 WAN is 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.254.0
    than its LAN needs to be 192.168.1.1 subnet 255.255.255.0
    in turn this means
    r2 WAN is 192.168.1.2 and its LAN is 192.168.2.1

    Answers are only as good as the information you provide.

  7. I replaced a clicking hard drive the other day, it means they are failing usually. Good thing you backed up stuff. Is the video card on board or a separate card. If so, power off, remove and reinsert the video card see what that does or if you have an onboard vga as well, then try removing the cardRead more

    I replaced a clicking hard drive the other day, it means they are failing usually. Good thing you backed up stuff. Is the video card on board or a separate card. If so, power off, remove and reinsert the video card see what that does or if you have an onboard vga as well, then try removing the card and using the onboard. Even if the hard drive were failing, you should get a bios screen with it removed, which is why I am wondering about the video itself or possibly the board if all else checks out. What does it do with everything unplugged, no hard drives, floppy drives or Cd roms etc plugged in?

    Opera is not so widely used as other browsers so that makes it less subject to attack IMO. You have to go back much further to find a Firefox version that runs on W98.

    By the way, to the best of my knowledge Avast 4 still runs on W98 so it is worth a check if you want an Anti-virus. I’ve just put my old W98 away in the loft but only a couple of months ago you could still get database updates (even if you did so manually). You can get it here:
