Ahh, it's a pain, but at least good when you work out what the problem is.

i am actually on the new pc now. it is running great with good download speeds,only limited by the old 19"crt monitor. one little problem, you will notice that i am typing in lower case. whenever i hit caps it gives me caps but refuses to return to lower case after hitting caps key again. only returns after restart.
went into radeon site to check what games i was compatable with. it said i need to upgrade to 128mb ram preferable x1600 series with all the same other specs that are on this x1950 pro 512mb ram. doesent sound right. think i have downloaded all the drivers/forceware etc. maybe i missed something.? ati shows core at 594 and mem at 770(dual mem to 1540) there is a jumper on the graphic card for reset which i hope i have returned to the correct pins.
TEMP 37 ON STOCK COOLER .WILL CHANGE. SORRY HIT CAP BY MISTAKE.LOL
CHEERS
restarted,very quick on boot up. tried 2 other keyboards and still same problem with caps. there are settings at start up to enable/disable mouse/keyboard on usb. presently disabled and on serial.
any thoughts anyone??
tks

Do you mean shift is always held down?
You might want to look up sticky keys or shift lock on some windows sites, not sure.
Good to hear everything is working, though I'm not sure what you mean about on the RAM... Good to hear everything is working, what CPU did you get in the end?
texasboy:
changed heat sink to artic cooler freezer 7 pro with fan control. IT IS RUNNING AT 660-690RPM. NEED TO CHANGE ONE CASE FAN AROUND. SEE WHAT I MEAN ABOUT CAPS,CANT GET OUT OF THIS WITHOUT RE-BOOT.
INSTALLED A P4 630 TO GET ME GOING. SINCE MOBO IS FSB800 WAS LOOKING AT http://www.mplex.com/shop/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=1283 THIS IS LOCAL STORE NO P AND P any other suggestions ref cpu, will reboot and try to clear this lot up
cheers.
w`oops it just cleared to lower case.
rebooted and back on lower case again. can you check out any other prices for core 2 duo at fsb 800 keeping in mind p&p.
had all case fans on exhaust, but will change front fan to blow into case and exhaust to rear and side of case.
little bit of extra money coming in this weekend from old unused pension funds.so can afford a decent cpu.lol
need a decent new monitor to handle higher resolution.
Quantum:
Do you mean Caps or do you mean shift? Or both?
I'd suggest asking around on other tech forums as well.
