    Geforce Go 6800U Component (Pic)

    Thanks for the response Keenan. It would be nice to have a schematic of the board to work with, but I doubt I'd be able to find one. I won't hold you to it, but, if not the inductors themselves, would you suspect the capacitors that are nearby? Or another component? This particular 6800 acts the...

    Geforce Go 6800U Component (Pic)

    I have a question on an older video card - My old Dell XPS Gen2 laptop has a GeForce Go6800 Ultra card that's been giving me trouble lately. I've tried the 'oven trick' to re-flow the solder, but that only allows the card to work for a very short period of time. I'm trying to identify the...

    Using Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 rev. 1.2 with 2.2, any problems?

    Here's the difference: v1.x = Micron v2.x = Qimonda http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=57334 I believe it is generally accepted that the Micron chips are better for overclocking, and can be stabilized at higher frequencies by upping the voltage. Check out the link, and...

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    Success!!! Thanks Greek! Switching the AGP Aperture setting from the default of 128MB to 256MB did fix the 'Code 12' issue I was having. The X-Fi and x1950Pro seem to be getting along just fine in my system now. :D Thanks to everyone for their help! -John PS: I mentioned another issue...

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    Thanks for the replies and advice on the 'Code 12' problem. I still haven't found an answer for the X-Fi issue in my system, and the Audigy 2 is working fine, but I've encountered another problem. I'm beginning to think this machine is possessed or something! :( Check this out... I'm not sure...

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    First, I discovered that I actually do have a Rev.2 card. Second, I figured out where the problem was in my system. Apparently, there was some kind of contention for resources between my SoundBlaster X-Fi and the x1950Pro. I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP on a spare hard drive, and that...

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    I just found that there is a Rev.2 version of the card: http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=296&view=yes I'm fairly certain I have Rev.1 -- Could the problems I'm having be due to the fact that I have the Rev.1 and not the Rev.2 version? Edit: Rev.1: Powered by ATI Radeon...

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    Katatonic - Did you actually see the 'Code 12' before you upgraded? The VGA driver that's being loaded is VGASave (vga.dll & vga.sys) since no other driver will load, otherwise, I guess there would be no display at all. Are you using a motherboard with the i975 chipset? Mine is an Abit IC7-MAX3...

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    Ok... I'm now using the Thermaltake PowerExpress 250 to power the x1950pro, and I still have the Code 12 error. Even after loading the ATI drivers, the only resolution that it allows is 640x480 with 4-bit color (16 colors - wow!), and that looks impressive on a 24" LCD. :rolleyes: Anyone...

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    The PSU is an Enermax EG465AX-VE(W)FMA. Total power is 460 watts and it lists 33A on +12V. I just picked up a Thermaltake PowerExpress 250, so I'm going to try and power the x1950pro with that and see what happens.

    X1950PRO AGP Upgrade - Code 12 on WinXP

    I recently purchased a HIS X1950PRO IceQ3 AGP card and I'm trying to get it installed on a Windows XP SP2 machine which is currently running an X800XT with no issue. The problem I'm having is when I install the X1950PRO I receive a Windows 'Code 12' error, which indicates a resource allocation...
