Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

OEM Vista and future new system build
Well, as someone who perhaps shamedly hasn't bought a copy of Windows since Win 95 with my first PC back in '96, but who was now fully prepared to pay some money to get a copy of Vista, I can only say this: no frickin wonder Microsoft have a problem with piracy. Thanks guys. I think I will...- fijiphil

OEM Vista and future new system build
But the Ultimate OEM version is currently £105 at Dabs.com whilst the Retail version is £319. So I could build 3 complete new systems with a new OEM copy each time and still not be any worse off. £319 for an OS is absolutely disgusting, BTW.- fijiphil

OEM Vista and future new system build
Quick easy question: If I build a new system now and buy an OEM copy of Vista x64, will I be able to reactivate this copy in, say, 2 or 3 years time when I build my next, completely new system? Or, more generally, how tolerant will Vista be of future hardware upgrades? Can I swap out CPU...- fijiphil

DVI or D-sub input
I am on my third 2005FPW. First had bad backlight bleeding and didn't respond to DVI input, forcing me to use D-SUB Second had acceptable backlight bleed, but still didn't respond to DVI input. Third one has bad backlight bleeding but does respond to DVI input, and believe me it is... -

DVI-Black Screen :(
OP, what monitor do you have? I have a very similar problem with my 2005FPW running off a AGP 6600GT. VGA works, but with DVI the monitor won't respond at all, not even during boot. I have tried the monitor on a friend's rig with an ATI X800XL, and it didn't work on that either (although his... -

Official Backlight Bleeding Complaint Thread for Dell 2005fpw
I'm on my second, has same borderline unacceptable backlight issues as first one (i.e. unnoticeable, except in DVD dark scenes in a completely black room, or during boot up in a completely dark room). What bothers me more is that the DVI input hasn't worked on either monitor. I have tried the... -

Another Dell Post!
My 2005 shows no ghosting whatsoever in games or DVDs, but bleeds backlight like a bastard. I am trying to return it, but customer service here in Germany keep you in telephone queues for ever and never reply to emails, except to tell you that they've forwarded your request and please fill in a... -

Wierd Dell 2005FPW issue.
But I have a 2005FPW and am only trying to run at 1680 x 1050. Also, I don't even get a POST screen which is 640x480, isn't it? I don't get anything at all. -

Wierd Dell 2005FPW issue.
Cadaver, you posted a similar reponse to a thread of mine recently. I have a similar but more extreme problem (my monitor NEVER responds to the DVI input). I am still waiting for Dell to replace my monitor (to try to get one without backlight issue, 1 week and still waiting) but in the... -

2005FPW not working with DVI
Yeah, but if I wanna go with a PCIe 6600GT (and if I don't, AGP options are getting limited it seems) it means new Mobo as well as new GFX card, and the damn things are not even a year old yet, and I have no other need or urge to upgrade. That said, I guess I should get a reasonable price on... -

2005FPW not working with DVI
Arse. Is this a 100% zero-compatibility problem, or if I get a replacement shipped, is there a chance I might get one that works? I assume from your friend's experience that it also affects the 2405. Does it affect all monitors, will I never get a DVI signal with any monitor? In that case I... -

2005FPW not working with DVI
Yes, it is an AGP card. Damn. Is there a work around, BIOS patch, anything? Does it only affect 6600GT? I knew I was gonna end up regretting not waiting for PCIe boards to appear before upgrading last December... -

2005FPW not working with DVI
It's a Rev A02, made in October 2005 (!) in UK. (I live in Germany), I'm sending it back once, if the second one is no good I will swap it for a 20 or 21" 4:3 (don't know what model code that is with Dell). I so want to get a good one, cos otherwise it's a thing of beauty.
